    So far in the story, I can see that Marcus is incredibly determined, hard working and will not give up no matter what task stands in his way.  From the begining to the point that I am t now, Marcus had faced so many obstacles and even entered the most brutal military training in the world, yet he fought through the pain and near-death situations.  He has no other ambitions but to serve his nation, protect his country, and become the best Navy Seal he could possibly be.  Wheather it is completeing tasks that are given to him, or getting extra voluntary work in at the hospitals, Marcus puts forth his greates effort nd strives to reach perfection.  At the point where I am now, Marcus is proving to be a great Seal and is a trustworthy partener in battle.  The conditions which they face in the middle east are attrocious and the plentiful laws that restrict their war tactics constantly get in theit way.  Each Seal has to know everything about the laws and regulations of battle, what to do in every possible situation and how to work under pressure and do as you are told.  Marcus emulates each and every one of these characteristics and has proven to be an incredible Navy Seal.  

    In the begining of the book, Marcus was still a very determined young man and was hopefull to become a navy seal some day.  He was ambitious, put in hard work and tried hard, but was not nearly as well educated or aware of war conditions as he is now.  He showed that he was determined in the begining of the book by working with his neighbor, Billy Shelton, to get stronger and bigger in order to prepre for the training.  He worked as hard as he could, completing intense workouts and working for an insane amount of time.  However, inbetween these hard work hours, Marcus had time to go for a leisurely swin with his brother or help around the house.  However, by the point I am at now, Marcus has managed to become more determined, harder working and more educated.  Now, Marcus has vertually no down time and when he isn't finishing his duties in the field, he is putting in extra time at the local hospital to become a better team medic.  Marcus has evolved from being a once ambitious kid to fulfilling his dreams and growing up to be a hard working and determined Navy Seal
