The hardest decision I'll  ever make
Should I join the Marine Corps or bake a cake?
Paris Island is where you'll start
To get through you need motivation and heart.
The drill instructors never go easy on you
If they go past you all you can say is phew
12 weeks later you are almost a Marine
To wear your blue dress uniform you have to hold in your spleen
Eagle, globe, and anchor is what you worked for
Now your apart of the United Stated Marine Corps
Every Marine is a riflemen
Being in the Infantry is way better than being a artilleryman
10 days after graduation I'm in Afghanistan
Where I hope I can get rid of the Taliban
Me and my platoon get suited up for the day
We all get to together and begin to pray
We say the rifleman code
After that we get on the road
Looking for IEDs and road side bombs
We hold our weapons in our bare palms
The dust is as thick as a winter coat
Many of us often have to clear our throats
We appear the compound and prepare to attack!
We come out of the trucks and get into packs
Bullets flying by us we make the call for an air strike
When it's over we began our hike
  Our M4s ready with red dot sights
Us Marines aren't scared of anything not even heights
When the compound is cleared we head back to camp
We drink our water so we don't cramp
All tired and hungry we try to sleep
I try not to fall asleep in the jeep
As we enter camp all I do is eat eat eat
We all eat as one big fleet
8 months of fighting is over and now we are home
My next deployment will be hopefully in Rome.
