Thinky thoughts

Sometimes I think I joined the Marine Corps because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make decisions on my own, and what better place to go where other people make all your major decisions for you than the military? Now I wonder if I'll stay in because I never learned to make major decisions, or if my time serving has taught me enough to be able to survive on my own. Will I just jump from one paternalistic organization to the next, or will I actually be able to live my life for my own sake some day?
