Marine Corps Boot Camp changes one and all <br />Drill sergeants makes you feel embarrassed and small, <br />They get in your face as you stand straight and tall <br />You’ll recognize his voice and rush to his call. <br /> <br />He’ll strive to train you; you’ll strive to obey <br />Take his orders like a man not take another way <br />If he tells you to dropp to the ground the only words you’ll say <br />Is “Yes Sir Drill Sergeant, ” discipline is there to stay. <br /> <br />Soon he will change the way you behave <br />Standing at attention toward the path that he has paved, <br />No longer a recruit that is tired and crazed <br />But are now a full fledged soldier standing tall and brave. <br /> <br />Your family are proud of you and the decision you've made <br />To join the Marine Corps and the strength you've displayed <br />Time can seem long but soon you’ll be dismayed <br />How quickly it has passed, you now march in life’s parade.<br /><br />Mimie Durand<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/marine-corps-boot-camp-march-in-life-s-parade/
