LCpl Shelby West...

The most influential person in my life is my high school football coach, Danny Abshier. He taught me a lot about life in general. He is a big part of why I am the way I am. I actually have two best freinds. Trent and Forrest Parker. I went to high school with them and spent most of my teenage life at their house. Trent just recently had a baby which he named after me. I don't really have an idol, but the person I try to emulate the most as a Marine is my squad leader, Sgt Barrett. He is the person I most look up to as a Marine. He always holds himself and his Marines to the highest standard. I have learned a lot from him. My ideal vacation would be in Hawaii geting married to the girl that I love, "The Girl Of My Dreams." I don't have a favorite food but I really love the Hooters Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. If I could get any car in the world it would be the Shelby Mustang from "Gone in 60 Seconds." I don't have a favorite band because I like so much different music. I listen to the music that fits my mood. My favorite actress is Kate Beckinsale. Being a Marine to me means being the best at what you do. If there was one thing that I could change in the world it would be the difficulty of relationships in the Marine Corps!!!!!!
