LCpl Elliot Partin...

1. What does it mean to be a Marine?

 

-Its a great personal accomplisment and gives me a sense of pride being part

of the Marine Corps. It means I am a part of an orginization that makes

history and makes a difference in the world.

 

2. One thing better in the world?

 

-End to conflict. It sounds odd for an infantryma <> n to say

that but it's an honest answer. Without conflict our world I think would be

a better place. Don't overthink it though, I know and understand there are

dictators and despots I'd just like to stop seeing young men, sometimes

entire generations destroyed by grand politics and misguided policies.

 

3. Who was most influential in your life?

 

-My Father. He has been the person I have guided my life off of. I've

looked at the examples he has set for me, his past and history and based my

own choices off of that because I respect my father as a great role model.

 

4. Who is your best fried?

 

-I cannot choose just one best friend, life dictates who I spend my time

with. Currently I'd have to pick Lcpl Scott Hueman. A fellow Seattleite and

all around interesting person. He has made my time in the Marine Corps much

more enjoyable.

 

5. Ideal Vacation?

 

-Backpacking more of the world.
