well, good job in becoming part of the team.

the fact the you had an OP40 so close but your age screwed you sucks.

you will NOT, however, let that stop you from being the best soldier you can be. regardless of your age.

the counselor called and tried to help, that's admirable. i seen them basically tell people to fuck off.

if the ROC said no, it's because there were no more OP40 contracts in the timeframe you needed them in. someone would have to dep loss before you turn 35 and you would have to be there to catch their slot.

LIVE BY THE CREED. it will always make you rise above the standard.

I just parroted (incorrectly) the title that was verbalized at me after swearing in.

No excuses, I will improve.

Secondly, Again 2nd mistake I've made ...
Cco 3/75,94-99 Ranger H8train - thank you for your correction

No excuses, I will improve.

you passed the physical. don't do shit else.

if you are wearing glasses it will have no bearing on anything with any other training.

again, regardless of what the Doc showed you, don't do shit to your eye until after all your training is complete.
