November 2014 Shippers!

Pre-Ship Complete! My job ended up changing. Signed my final contract. So bye bye Comm 0631. I'm now 04xx Logistics.

Ladies, 

Anybody shipping to MCRD Parris Island on the 17th???

I know I am!!

Future Recruits.... Where you at?

27 days and counting!

[usmcshuaaash]

30 Day Pre-Ship IST

1.5 Mile Run Time 11:52

Crunches: 76 in two minutes

Flexed Arm Hang: 69 seconds

Still 30 days till boot camp... Still passing. But I want to get up to 100 crunches before I leave. & I know I've done better on my 1.5 mile run.....

Destiny.

So it seems like the word is spreading. Nearly 30 days til I ship, & more of my friends & family are accepting my decision. But let's get thigs straight. I want to become a U.S. Marine to prove to myself that I can take any challenge & be the best I can be. To prove how strong my mother raised me to be, to one day have my father realize that I never needed him to be who I am. I've learned to move on without him. This ain't no pity party, so don't feel sorry for me....

I'm content with who I am, & where I'm going in life. And I must say that I'm truly blessed for this opportunity. Looking back, seeing that I have attempted to enlist in other branches, I now realize it was never my time.

I am destined to become one of the few & proud.

a U.S. Marine.
