Having been in the Marines, I find your last two pictures offensive. Don’t worry, as the sound you hear from above one of these days will be one of my beloved F/A-18’s delivering you a laser guided Christmas present.
Semper Fi!
The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, TriangleArt Reference SE with Pass Labs Xono Phono Preamp, Walker Precision Motor Drive, ClearAudio Goldfinger Diamond v2 cartridge and Origin Conquerer Mk3c tonearm, Polk Audio "Signature" Reference Series 1.2TL with complete mods, Pass Labs X0.2 three chassis preamp, PS Audio PerfectWave DAC MkII, Pioneer Elite SC-65, Oppo UDP-205 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk audio AB700/800 "in-wall" surrounds.
Saying that it's "too hard" to pursue your dreams is no different than admitting to yourself that you are too lazy to achieve them.
Not a lot of people know, but the Marines are a department of the Navy.
The Men's Department.
In my "Intro to the Navy" at boot camp in San Diego, we learned that the Navy boot camp was separated from the Marine boot camp by a 12-foot fence.
Our DI emphasized (rather loudly, too. Rather triggering) that even if you get homesick, etc you don't want to go over the fence, that the Navy was sure to get you back.
After the Marines had you for 3 days.
Which was NOT a good thing.
Apparently the Marines aren't the hospitable cuddley bears that we've been lead to believe !
Semper Fi you knuckleheads.

I still run into guys I served with 40 years ago. Happy birthday USMC.
"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson
Happy Birthday to my Beloved Corps. Tonight, I raise my beer high in honor of all those who earned the title of United States Marine, and for those who came home draped under our Nation's colors, having given their full measure so we can be free.
For those that don't know, once a Marine, ALWAYS a Marine. I sleep well at night knowing that even in death, Marines are still called upon to stand a post at the Gates of Heaven...
God Bless The United States Marine Corps.
(and yes I have had a couple adult beverages already.
