Daily Routine People Living
526 wordsSome people believe that living in the Marine Corps barracks could be compared to living at a college dorm. I however, absolutely disagree with this idea. I have lived in both and can honestly say that they are very separate lifestyles with few similarities. The daily routine, living conditions, and strictness are especially dissimilar from each other. The typical daily routine of these two lifestyles could be compared to night and day. As a Marine I start off every morning by making my bed, and...
