(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I heard this from a vice video. The man talking had very broken English but he said this and it really stuck out to me.

If you can live your dream, if you can live your hobby, if you can make from your hobby your work, it is the best satisfaction you can have in life.

I know this isn't proper grammar but it is how he said it.

Since I am 16 it is time for me to start to decide what I want to do for the rest of my life so this quote really inspired me.

Damn that herodotus quote was great. But is the rifleman's creed actually said and memorized in the military? If so is it all branches or just the marines?


The rifleman's creed is used by the marines and the army. (The army rarely uses it though) Every marine learns the rifleman's creed because every marine is a rifleman. They do recite the creed before lights out, if decided to do so by the DI. Although, they do not have their rifles, they are still at the position of attention until commanded to relax. There are many different creeds also, for example the airborne creed.

"I am an Airborne trooper! A PARATROOPER!
I jump by parachute from any plane in flight. I volunteered to do it, knowing well the hazards of
my choice.
I serve in a mighty Airborne Force--famed for deeds in war--renowned for readiness in peace. It
is my pledge to uphold its honor and prestige in all I am--in all I do.
I am an elite trooper--a sky trooper--a shock trooper--a spearhead trooper. I blaze the way to farflung goals--behind, before, above the foe's front line.
I know that I may have to fight without support for days on end. Therefore, I keep mind and
body always fit to do my part in any Airborne task. I am self-reliant and unafraid. I shoot true,
and march fast and far. I fight hard and excel in every art and artifice of war.
I never fail a fellow trooper. I cherish as a sacred trust the lives of men with whom I serve.
Leaders have my fullest loyalty, and those I lead never find me lacking.
I have pride in the Airborne! I never let it down!
In peace, I do not shrink the dullest of duty not protest the toughest training. My weapons and
equipment are always combat ready. I am neat of dress--military in courtesy--proper in conduct
and behavior.
In battle, I fear no foe's ability, nor under-estimate his prowess, power and guile. I fight him with
all my might and skills--ever alert to evade capture or escape a trap. I never surrender, though I
be the last.
My goal in peace or war is to succeed in any mission of the day--or die, if needs be, in the try.
I belong to a proud and glorious team--the Airborne, the Army, my Country. I am its chosen
pride to fight where others may not go--to serve them well until the final victory.
I am the trooper of the sky! I am my Nation's best! In peace and war I never fail. Anywhere,
anytime, in anything,
I AM AIRBORNE"

Nope haha Im only 16, but I am part of a semi military organization called, "Civil Air Patrol." We are an auxiliary of the air force. We do emergency services and search and rescue. Smile We also have the chance to go to different parts of the country to learn about military way of life and training. For example every year they have a camp in each state called an "encampment." They will send you to the nearest military fort that will allow it and you basically go through basic training for a couple weeks. Also the way I know most of this stuff is talking to people in the military, also a lot of my family is in the military.
