Who were you the night before you started your internship? Who are you as you walk off site at the end of your last day? What’s changed? If you could go back in time to talk to the you you were the night before it all started, what would you say to your past self? Would your past self be impressed with / proud of your future self? How come/why not?
Before I started my internship I was just another student looking forward to embarking on a great oppurtunity. As i started my first few weeks of the internship I noticed that I was loving the work that I was doing. Nearing the end of my Internship I knew that I had changed and changed for the better. The reason was because I got to spend time with my recruiter who is a role model citizen. By this I mean Always doing good and keeping people in line. If I could talk to my past self about the internship I would say to myself "to keep an open mind and do your work". I know that my past self would be impressed with my future self because I am definitely a changed man. I changed in obedience and work ethic in only a couple months of doing an internship. Im glad I did this internship and became a better man because of it.

How would the world be different if your industry didn’t exist, or if it were to somehow disappear? Speculate and ponder.
Well if the industry of recruiting in general not just Marines but all branches didn't exist then I think our armed forces would be a lot smaller. Because without recruiting offices there is no one you can reach out to get information from. If you wanted to join there would probably just be one place to sign up and that's it. It reminds me of the time when there were drafts and when you were 18 you had to sign up. Because without a recruiting station and recruiters they would probably still have the draft and not everyone would appreciate that. One story that really stuck out to me when I was on the job was when my recruiter and I were in the office with his Sgt major. The reason this story stuck out to me was that I had never really seen him being yelled at before. We were in the office with other poolees such as myself and one kid did not bring a belt like he was supposed to. So Sgt major saw this and then gave my recruiter a stern talking to. Even though it wasn't his fault that the kid didn't bring a belt. It was the fact that he was in charge of him and that looks bad on the recruiter. This was when I realized how strict the rank structure was and the fact that everyone has a superior.
