Excerpt
My nephew, Brian Cavuto, is a twenty-two year old young man who enlisted in the Marines immediately after high school. Through my interview questions and research, I learned about recruiting practices and factors that influence an individual to consider military service as a career. A common thread in my conversations with Brian and in my research is the contrast between the idealities of this vocation and the reality of this work environment. In spite of these contrasts, however, those who choose military service, and in particular the Marine Corps, generally describe their experience as a vocation, and this paper will focus on how this impacts a soldier's life throughout his career.
