I love you, I won't kill you

On the surface, the reason given to his father was to be admitted to a famous university on the east coast.Amanda's real intention, however, was to go to Yale to meet Julie, who was a sophomore.

Nelson thought it was understandable that Amanda wanted to further enrich herself intellectually.But he made such a condition for his daughter: If high tuition fees are not raised before Yale University accepts her undergraduate application, then Amanda will inherit the family tradition and join the Marine Corps.

Amanda was a little teary-eyed, and started working part-time in restaurants to earn money before graduating from high school.Now that a year has passed, she still hasn't saved enough for half of the tuition.It was not a habit she was born with to borrow money from her father or her two elder brothers.

As this year's Marine Corps draft date drew closer, she didn't know what to do.After dinner that day, her father unexpectedly called her into the study.

Looking at his maturing daughter, Nelson frowned when he thought of her emotional problems.It's really not easy for a father to ask about his daughter's relationship.Hey, if the daughter's mother is still in this family, it may be much easier to handle.After a long silence, he just said, "Haven't saved enough tuition? Still planning to go to Yale?"

"Yes, father, I can continue to work hard as a part-time worker. I believe in my ability."

"What would you do if you received an acceptance letter from Yale during this time?"

What Amanda is most worried about now is that this kind of thing will happen.He hurriedly asked, "Why, the notice was sent home? Damn it!" With a dejected look, he sat heavily on the sofa.

Nelson took out a letter from the desk, walked to his daughter and sat down, "Whether you can go to a local university or what kind of university to study is not the most important issue. I also believe that my daughter is the best. Consider going to the Is it the Marine Corps school? It can also produce excellent talents there.

"Marine Corps school? Father, you mean the ROI at Quantico?"

Nelson smiled, "Yes, if you want. Go back to your room and rest, and let me know after you think about it!"

Amanda left the study and walked slowly upstairs to her room.Looking at the admission letter from Yale University that his father handed him, he shook his head and laughed at himself.

Lying on the bed, I took the photo of Julie and myself on the bedside, and kept thinking, "Hey, even if she can go to Yale, will she still be the same as before? Is it true that, as Nora said, there are already A new love?"

Another new love, why didn't I do it like this? !Although it was clear that Nora had seduced herself first that night.It is precisely because Julie plans to study at Yale that she has no brains to accuse her of not loving herself anymore and wants to fly away.

Looking back at that time, Amanda really felt that she was naive and ridiculous.It is impossible for Julie to give up the opportunity to receive higher education for herself.From another perspective, only true independence can be exchanged for true everything.

It was right for her to do so, so she should look at the development of things more rationally.Might as well take my father's advice and join the Marine Corps and get into ROS.A road has long been laid out in front of Amanda, and it seems that everything is ready.

..................................

Balis Island, one of the training bases of the US Marine Corps on the East Coast.A boot camp for those who want to join the Marines or who are new to South Carolina.As long as you enter this base, you will start a 13-week "freshman training", which is an unlucky and hellish training period.

From the eldest brother Vincent and the second brother Billy, I have heard rumors about this training more than once.What kind of sergeant instructor is not human, he only knows how to scold and find fault with recruits all day long.The training was unbearably hard, and I wanted to kill the sergeant with a single shot from the M1 Garand rifle issued, and so on.

Her father asked her to report to the conscription station in the city alone. With various documents and procedures, Amanda successfully passed the preliminary inspection by the Marine Corps recruiter.Before leaving the recruiting office, the sergeant recruiter even got a little excited and asked to shake Amanda's hand in respect.

Amanda replied with a smile, "Sergeant, even if you know that I am McLaren's daughter, you don't have to be so excited, right?"

The sergeant tried his best to put on a more standard military posture, and replied without squinting, "Ms. McLaren, please allow me to express my sincere respect to you and your family! It is because you are so outstanding My lady, would like to join the Marine Corps, so I give you my highest thanks!"

It turns out that after the world-famous 911/[-] incident, the Marine Corps paid more attention to young women joining the Marine Corps, as well as various treatment issues after joining the Marine Corps.

All the way out to the parking lot, into the green Beetle that Alice was driving, Amanda kept a smile on her face.Alice asked curiously, "Hey, who did you meet with such a happy smile?"

Looking at the bright glass of the conscription room and the neat and orderly layout of the office.Nora, who was sitting in the back seat, put her arms around Amanda's neck from behind and shouted, "This guy must have taken a fancy to that Marine Corps officer!"
