Hey repareur,
Yes I have mentioned this...one of my old posts, but im not opposed to share again.
There have been Marines that have found out what I did. For some reason it's a gay Marine that starts sharing it and then it spreads like wildfire. I ended up having to switch units because it became a problem. It became a conflict between us. I was judged and cast out from being a leader. My character and leadership skills were automatically looked down on. I was put to the side, never really give much. The command thought of it as a if its not in the spotlight then they don't have to worry about it.
I changed duty stations and moved here to CA. The command I am with now is completely different. AGAIN it was a gay Marine that started spreading it around. (I am not trying to say anything bad about gay Marines or people, simply stating what they have been) Multiple people found out, however I was able to establish who I was, My knowledge of my job, and my skills as a leader. Most did not let it influence what they thought of me as a Marine, a leader, or as a person. So I would say it always varies.
I have had ups and downs in life after filming with
Broke Straight Boys Each and every experience helps me in life. I find new ways to deal with people, deal with the obstacle and it gives me the opportunity to become better as a person. We are all faced with opposition or things in life that will challenge you. It's how we deal with it and learn from it. If we walk around and live our life with the mentality that everyone is against us or life sucks and we cant get anywhere, then that's exactly what will happen. we will go no where and will continue to live in a dark and depressed life. I however live a positive life. I look for the positive in EVERYTHING. I focus on that and strive off of that. EVERYTHING in life has a learning aspect. If we do not constantly strive to make ourselves better, learn from things, and grow, we will constantly limit ourselves and eventually die no where near our potential.
