A Nigerian man, identified as Akwari Charles has taken to his social media page to narrate how he fled from the US Marine after he witnessed their trainings.
Charles, who resides in USA, said he visited the recruiters office and declared his interest to join the marines.When asked if he could swim, the young man answered said no but indicated that he would be willing to learn if the force offers on-the-job training.
In his words;
“I remember when I wanted to join the US marines.I entered the recruiters office and told him of my interest.He asked why?
I told him, I love the tactical nature of the force and also the leadership experience it presents.He asked again, can you swim?In my head, I’m like, “so person gats know how to swim”
I told him no and asked, would there be opportunity for training? He replied yea ofcourse.
“Okwu a gwula”
Gave me the forms and asked that I accessed it online and send in my documents.I got home and out curiously I went on YouTube to watch a video of the training.
Then I saw I would have to jump down from a Helicopter in full gear and weapon inside an ocean.
I changed my mind.” Anytime the recruiter calls me back, my heart skips.
I didn’t come to Amelika to drown.”
