Staff Sgt. Sykes:
I could be working with my brother right now. He's got a dry-wall business in Compton. Does the inside of office buildings - you know, the metal studs. I could be his partner. Said he'd give me that brand new Dodge Ram Charger - you know, the 318 Magnum? The beast? All indoor work, too, lots of AC. I could sleep with my wife every night, f*** her, maybe; take my kids to school every morning. And I'd run his crews, too, probably increase productivity 40 to 50%. Make $100K a year. Do you know why I don't? Because I love this job. I thank God for every f***ing day he gives me in the Corps. Oorah.
