Well, I got a cousin in the Marines, another cousin in the Army and an uncle in the Army. To add onto this, I've got a best friend and his brother in the Army and even my grandpa and Gread Grandpa were in the Army, granted that these two died already.

But my cousins already left again and my friend is still movin' from base to base. Not sure about the uncle. Last I heard from him he was stationed in Florida and supposed to go to Japan where he promised to send me a bunch of stuff. ^_^ That part makes me happy and jeolous at the same time.

Are you kiddin' me?! I LOVE random! I makes everything that much more interestin'. But my uncle knows what I like and said that he's be gettin' me some manga and anime, too bad I won't be able to understand any of it. That's why I wanna learn to read, write and speak Japanese.

My Newphew went to the stan (i think you know what im referring to hehe)
Anyways i just always think of these lyrics and it helps if you look deep into their meaning but you have to take thw lyrics out of context...

I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
I ain't never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to
I'm supposed to set an example
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
If some shit ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em
That Ja shit I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it
It was crazy, this shit went way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted
And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it
That was never my object for someone to get killed
Why would I wanna destroy something I help build
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' Suge
And that was just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth
And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about
Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef
So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth
While he's all over t.v. down talkin' a man who literally saved my life
Like fuck it i understand this is business
And this shit just isn't none of my business
But still knowin' this shit could pop off at any minute cause

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme
And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'
But now it's elevated cause once you put someone's kids in it
The shit gets escalated, it ain't just words no more is it?
It's a different ball game, callin' names and you ain't just rappin'
We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'
Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him
And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him
Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him
Fuck it 50 smash 'em, mash 'em and let him have it
Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions
Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk
Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection
Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record
But now he's fucked the game up cause one of the ways I came up
Was through that publication the same one that made me famous
Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'
Well fuck it, that motherfucker can get it too, fuck him then
But I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think
That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc.
And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind
We still have soldiers that's on the front line
That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders
Never to extort us, strictly to show they support us
We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus
To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is
To have Runyan Avenue, soldiers up in our corners
Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is
But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered
It ain't worth it, I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
Then to just say that I love ya'll too much to see the verdict
I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further
But don't get it twisted, it's not a plea that I'm coppin'
I'm just willin' to be the bigger man
If ya'll can quit poppin' off at the jaws, well then I can
Cause frankly I'm sick of talkin'
I'm not gonna let someone else's coffin rest on my conscience cause

Yo mamma house
Im in the Army but I havent been sent outside of the country yet. My grandpa was in the Air force and my dad and uncle was in the Marines. They've been sent to a bunch of places around the world. My dad was in saudi arabia when I was born and my uncle was gonna go to iraq but they didnt send him because he has diabetes. The only time I've been out of the country was for a family trip or school related...not military related.

One good thing about havin' a military family is for your kids. Once the person get out and is old, they tend to tell stories. Like my great gandpa who fought in WWII. He wouldn't talk much but the one thing that I remember most from when he did was him sayin' that when his CO told them that they were to march across France, he said that they didn't march. THEY RAN!

My grandfather is a former marine.

A good friend of mine is at a military academy though(not by choice).

Also, my friend's girlfriend is in a navy family, but luckily for her, she doesn't have to go into the navy.

I was hoping to go to a military academy.
However my grades are to low, I'm thinking of joining ROTC as soon as I can then when I turn 18 hop right into the Army. :)
My brother is in the Army now and my dad is former Air Force, while my oldest brother detests anything militant.
We sort of have a military background myself in that from the age of 3-10 I had a stepbrother who would usually make us march around the neighborhood, or give us broomsticks or wooden rifles and have us twirl them around like Marines, make us go with him on seemingly endless adventures to the Mesa, help him fix his car and yell at us all the time. I would constantly beg my dad to break up with his wife and move out, but that took years. I also asked my dad to atleast have my Oldest brother stand up for us even a little. Every time he did my stepbrother would always beat him up. He would make me and my brother fight him or fight each other.
However when my stepbrother tried to fight one of his friends in front of us he would always lose, and it pleased me more than anything to see him suffer. Around that time I realized that he just took all the anger he had from people making fun of him at school out on us. Soon he spiraled to drugs and before I knew it I was free! My stepmother soon started drinking herself to sleep and I got to stay up! Now after 6 years of living with my dad and his flip flopping girlfriends I look back and realize that all the "discipline" we endured made us closer, helps me work harder now, and may prove useful in my enlistment.
My dads history is that he was a sharpshooter I think in the Airforce but was honorably discharged because he was "trying to save a marriage."
For now my brother is stationed in Missouri being trained as a combat engineer, and comes back in about 26 days.
I believe a main influence in his enlistment was a friend of his who joined, after he came back he completely different.
