This is my rifle; this is my gun...

One, two, three, four - United States Marine Corps.
The last couple months in Ohio were something !
Yes, I lived here for a year already as an exchange student but there is a whole new world out there that I was blessed to experience this time I was living here.
Two words: Medicine - Marksmanship

When I wasn't in the office with my host dad watching him practicing family medicine, I was probably in surgery where things were just blowing my mind. There could have not been any better preparation for Medschool in Germany. While that chapter is a story for itself there was a secondt thing that I had not experienced before.
The art of makrsmanship.
Most people in europe have that idea of them "crazy americans" arming themself and can't realte to the roots of the second amendment to the United States Constitution.
I am glad to have seen more than just the surface of that so widely discussed topic.
For my guys back home: We do have to do the Marine Corps workout, it sure makes you cry but also brings you in shape.
