Ex-NFL player graduates from Marines boot camp in San Diego
Pfc. Jeremy Staat, a former NFL defensive lineman who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the St. Louis Rams, graduated from the San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Depot on Friday.
Enlisting “is probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life,” Staat, 29, told The Associated Press after his graduation ceremony.
I agree, it was the best thing I ever did.
“I never felt right about making the money I was making,” Staat continued. “We pay millions of dollars to professional athletes and entertainers, yet we pay military service people pennies to a dollar, and they’re the ones risking their lives.”
So the rest of you overpaid, over worshiped media worshiped with the fancy cribs can kiss my butt, your nothing.

Another american hero joins the ranks.
It takes a special kind of person to serve our country.
It takes a special breed of person to serve our country in the Marine Corps.
I salute his (and your) sacrifice
I salute his (and your) bravery
I salute his (and your) courage
I salute his (and your) dedication
I salute his (and your) selfless decision to protect a schmuck like me
Basically I am saying thank you
I know I am not a marine…but Semper Fi…I cant think of any other way to express my gratitude.

[...] Hmm we still haven’t picked up the mess we left at Michael’s house the other night- evidence of our party is still all over his place (but he’s awake and breathing ***THUD***) As I run about cleaning his yard up I did notice a post about a football player turned MARINE. How hot is THAT?? [...]
