Esprit,
A great Marine Corporal recently told me, "When your days are darkest, it's often these lessons and experiences that will pull you through, and make you dig deeper than you ever knew you could to continue towards success."
I’m in the same boat as you, but my knee is limiting me from even having a recruiter try to work with me…you have a great opportunity to get well, go back & show everyone what you are made of! I think you should really think about that & realize the true test of a man is not how much he can easily accomplish, it is what a man can accomplish once he’s been knocked down. The fight isn’t over until you give-up on yourself, regardless of what everyone else thinks/says. If I took ½ of what people say about me & my struggle to go back in, I would have given up a long time ago. You need to dig deep & fight with everything you have to prove that you will be a Marine!
In life, there are struggles, and without them there would be no progress, right?!? Consider this your lesson on struggles & personal strength. The Marine Corps & the Corpsman don’t care that you’re back home as civilian, they don’t care that you didn’t earn that title…but I know you do, shoot after 3 years I still do. I don’t know about you but for the longest time, I hated the Corpsman & doctors for sending me home…I was so busy trying to blame others for my misfortune; that I lost sight of what I really wanted. Once, you get passed that feeling sorry for yourself stage your mindset will turn to desire. Take that anger you have for going home & use it to fuel your motivation to return to boot & come home a Marine in those Blues!
Like I said before, I was in FRP for 137 days…I know what you mean about the motivation, but YOU joined the Marines for hopes of being different. My FRP Kill Hat said it best before she took me to RSP, “The Island only wins if you let it; come back tougher, stronger & earn that title that you should have today. Don’t loose that fire that you had the day you enlisted, because that’s what the Marines we need.” So don’t let yourself turn into ‘that guy’ who “shoulda, coulda, woulda been a Marine but”…Motivation comes from within, you need to remember why you enlisted & keep that in your heart…
If you need to talk feel free to hit me up,
Vanessa-Rose
