"You are one hell of a hero", the commander said. Josh replies with, "thank you sir i have been training for the marines almost my entire life". "I would be proud to have you on my core son, just make sure you dont lose your confidence that is what will keep you alive", said the commander.
Joshua trained long and hard to make his part in the military the best it could be. Some of his teammates didn't have the motivation that he had, so they didn't last very long.
