Marine Corps B.R.A.T.: Threatening the Status Quo

Semper Fidelis.

Always Faithful.

This book contains some unpopular ideas. Each chapter presents an idea on a subject that you thought you had already wrapped your head around only to have the author challenge that understanding. The concepts and ideas are a little weird. If you choose to threaten the status quo that you have followed up until now, well, that will make you weird too. This is not the normal way, challenging mass beliefs goes against cultural wisdom, the status quo, our peers, and sometimes even our parents. It can be scary, hard, frustrating and emotional to challenge what you thought you believed. However, it is incredibly satisfying, peaceful and worth it to come to your own conclusions. Therefore, think outside the box, question everything, press on, OORAH!

Semper Fi.

I’ll be ever faithful to my calling.

May you be ever faithful to yours.
