Gentlemen,

I ship out to Parris Island today, barring any further complications. The only thing on my end that I am sad about, in terms of leaving, is that I won't see my girlfriend for 13 weeks. However, that's not a big deal because I want to be a Marine more than anything. She knows this, and she supports me 110% (thank God). It may well cause complications further down the road, but that is a risk I am willing to take, if it means me becoming a Marine.

I would like to thank everyone on this site. Even though I kept quiet most of the time, just trolling around, I still read a lot of posts and gained knowledge and inspiration from most of the things I came across. I appreciate all the work you Marines do, and I only wish I can hack it and earn that title.

Best of luck to you all,
John

PS:
Yesterday was my birthday. This poolee is 20! By the way, Happy Easter all!

If you will PM her number, I will make sure she doesn't get lonely.

I will even share the number around to several select Marines, just to keep her busy.

There is nothing worse than a straying GF, so anything we can do to help, will be our pleasure.

Don't let the DI's know you have a girl friend because they will work your mind over big time, I'm sure you will hear it anyway like don't worry about her at home because Charlie is taking good care of her,Good Luck.

It is so true.

Good Luck. It goes by fast, well at least it did for me. I call it the Longest and fastest 3 months of your life, But it is all worth it in the end. 13 weeks of gettin kicked in the nuts for a lifetime of pride.

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. I will not let myself fail, nor will I allow my DIs to know I have a loving girlfriend, waiting, for me at home.

Hahahah and thanks, Corporal, but I can handle her just fine. I'm man enough that she will be waiting with open arms for 13 weeks, until I get back. Just for me.

Ooh-. I will earn the rest of that on the Island.

Thanks again, everyone. Cyall in 13 weeks.

PS:
If I'm back before then, I want each of you to personally kick my a*s
