Absolutely Phenominal!

I agree with Silence... you have written a very good piece... I look forward to seeing more

I have gotten a couple of requests, people want to forward this piece to their friends and families. By all means, I am flattered that you think so highly of my work, and of course you can do so. Just make sure that all who read this understand its purpose and its point. Thanks

By all means, forward this, and thank you for reading my version of what my rommate went through. I hope to have inspired faith in the inherent goodness in all people, and recently military has gotten a... bad rep.

Hi. I know I'm not completely new to storymash, but I have yet to introduce myself to you all. My name is Dave, I'm 22 years old, and I am a Marine stationed in San Diego. I've been writing for a while now, almost my entire life, and I've written a lot of opinion pieces, fictional stories, and even real life accounts of events in my life that made me who I am. I just wrote a piece, not of an event in my life, but an event which will scar my roommate and best friend. I ask you all, please read this, and the next time you see a member of the military, be it Marine, Soldier, Sailor or Airman, thank them for their service, their sacrifice, and their courage. The name of this piece is Why I Joined. Thank you all, and God Bless.

the incorrect grammar was intentional. its written by a guy who is drunk but has convinced himself that he isn't.

I kinda had a purpose behind that, cause recently i've noticed a lack of colaboration on here. I'll start chapter 2 here shortly, to give the readers that information, but i want it to come out slowly, like the reader has to put 2 aand 2 together before i spell it out completely.

I love the idea, reminds me of an older Stephen King novel. You have a very unique style, making a first person point of view feel like a semi-omnipotent third. Love it.

very entertaining! love the short-and-sweet synapse of the action, makes for a very interesting read. I might have to try that...

although the fact that this is a true story, or at least sounds like it, makes it rather comical, making it into a true story-nay epic novel- would have done the storyline good. Add details about the characters (which i can only assume is you) looked like and the setting, as i have no clue where penncrest high is. Great concept, just follow through next time.
