I want to make one thing clear right now to myself and everyone. I am in the pursuit of happiness. I want to make myself be happy and the only way I know how to do that, legally, right now is to work my ass off. I have lost all that weight. Hooray, good for me....Now I can't give up now that I am skinny....

Today is Christmas Eve and tomorrow is going to be the first major holiday I spend without my family. I know I am not the only one in my unit who feels this way. It just bothers me. Also, I fucking hate my roomate so much. I think he is the biggest slob and has not ounce of effort. Pretty much he is the antithesis...

Happy Holidays regardless!
I always try to stay humble. A lot of people tell me that i have accomplished so much already in a short amount of time but...BEing 26 years old in the marine corps and starting out. You are competing with people that are much younger than you and in much better shape. So, you stay humble. You work on your body as much as possible,...

Well, that was interesting. That was the first time I ever broke up with someone. I didn't think I could feel this dirty or conflicted about it. She was a wonderful woman but the fact remained...I was moving to Japan and she was not willing to budge an inch when it came to anything we discussed. It bothered me and it hurt to know that...

It's a lonely feeling because I'm so much older than all the other marines here. At least i can be home early enough for thanksgiving and i...

@iggy yeah, I'm really excited to be going. Never thought i would be able to travel out of the country. Seems like I'm going to be able to call japan my home for two years.

Sounds good! Have fun and work hard.
I was given a certain amount of time after three months of hell. I was given ten days to recover and spend time with my family before I return to the service of the United State Marine Corps.
I spent three months in one of the most difficult periods of my life. Three months of being verbally abused, being pushed farther than I ever thought...

Good to hear from you man! And congrats on making it through there. So will you now be a Marine for good?
theslowrunner:
Yes, I graduated from boot camp on Friday July 11th. Means I am going to be in the Corps for quite a good amount of time as a Marine. Which is great because once a Marine always a Marine.
I'm back and alive! Kinda surprising it all felt like one strange blur but I go through it. I put my head down and rammed through boot training which makes me officially a unites states marine. So, hello everyone what have I missed!
rubblerocks:
Congrats! Seems like it's been a long time.
Heading out to boot camp right now. Good luck and see you all in 3 months.
