I grew up with a friend who was into war movies and war toys....I started with Star Wars, but I got Hooked on GI Joe when I was 14. I wanted to see action. Unfortunately, I got out in Jan of 1990, and missed the first Gulf War.

I hated being in the Army, until I was out...then I missed my brothers in arms. After I got out of college, I came back (Marines this time) , mainly to feed my Family, but I really missed the comeraderie from my Army days. Now I love the Corps. I don't know what I'm gonna do when I retire in 5 years....it's gonna suck!
