Misconceptions
Dennis Costello: When you think about the Marine Corps, you’d think about John Wayne like someone had mentioned about movies, and he’s the hero when it’s constant bombing and fighting and Saving Private Ryan. There’s a whole lot more than that.
Al Radiseck: I think sometimes people have a feeling that someone goes into the Service because there’s nothing else for them to do. And I just think that, that didn’t, that that’s not the way it was for us, and I think that there’s a lot of people out there who are going into it because they want to.
Mary Turner: I think there’s a lot of misconceptions about what military service is about. I know that my sons got some, got some advice from their friends. Why would you want to go to the Naval Academy? Why don’t you go someplace else and get a real college experience? And, so I think listening to all points of view is important so you really get a sense of what it really is all about.
Dennis Costello: There’s more to the Military than just conflicts. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a way to learn. It’s a way to grow daily.
Debbie Parker: The Military wants to see these young men and women be successful. They’re there to encourage, to train; they’re not there to belittle or… but they want to see them be successes.
