LCpl Shelby West...

The most influential person in my life is my high school football

coach, Danny Abshier. He taught me a lot about life in general. He is a

big part of why I am the way I am. I actually have two best freinds. Trent

and Forrest Parker. I went to high school with them and spent most of my

teenage life at their house. Trent just recently had a baby which he named

after me. I don't really have an idol, but the person I try to emulate the

most as a Marine is my squad leader, Sgt Barrett. He is the person I most

look up to as a Marine. He always holds himself and his Marines to the

highest standard. I have learned a lot from him. My ideal vacation would

be in Hawaii geting married to the girl that I love, "The Girl Of My

Dreams." I don't have a favorite food but I really love the Hooters Buffalo

Chicken Sandwich. If I could get any car in the world it would be the

Shelby Mustang from "Gone in 60 Seconds." I don't have a favorite band

because I like so much different music. I listen to the music that fits my

mood. My favorite actress is Kate Beckinsale. Being a Marine to me means

being the best at what you do. If there was one thing that I could change

in the world it would be the difficulty of relationships in the Marine C
