#TBT Jay Whatley Joins The Marines [VIDEOS]

Here's a quality throwback from the time I joined the Marines for a week in Parris Island.

I have talked about this experience so much over the last couple of years. My friends, family, and co-workers have heard all about it, too many times to count. To this day, I still regard that week as one of the greatest of my life.

It all kind of started as a joke around the office. That I didn't have what it takes to be Marine. Turns out, I certainly did not, but I had the time of my life trying.

To be there for a week on Parris Island, meeting the recruits, seeing the graduation, it was an unreal, emotional experience.

I hope I get to go back one day, but until then I can always re-watch these videos over and over again!
