Happy anniversary! So where do the footprints lead too? Or are they just markers where you are supposed to stand whilst your world changes?

That's a very good question.
Footprints lead, if you make it, to the title of Marine.

You get of the bus and immediately get put on the footprints, and stand at attention for a couple of hours while a drill instruction uses every swear\cuss\obscene words in the world, to insult your mother\father\sister\girlfriend and you..sometimes in different languages...

The footprints actually serve a purpose, in that they put your feet in the proper (45 degree ?) angle when standing at attention.
