The Few. The Proud.
I'm joining the Marines. I'm almost done with my degree, and I'm getting into shape to pass the PFT; got my hair cut short (prolly not short enough, though), and I stopped letting my facial hair grow out. As gunny Highway says in Heartbreak Ridge, "You start looking like Marines, you'll start feeling like Marines, and pretty soon, *goshdarn* it, you'll start acting like Marines." If everything goes according to plan, I should sign papers this spring, then be at OCS in June. After that, as you probably already know, will be TBS. Then finally I'll get to start pilot training. I'm really looking forward to joining the ranks of so many fellow Hoosiers and fine Americans in service to my country.

Hey MK2JA, what service you joining?
I resigned from the USMC in July. Yeah, I still do most of what everybody else does. Lacing boots the same way, eat fast, walk fast, phonetic alphabet, think in 24 hr time (though I convert it when I talk), DD Month YYYY.
I grew a beard, though, and let my hair grow a little.
