Good to see you Goon. I was in Hawaii for my first 4 years.

Take care of yourself over in the sand box.

Good morning all. I know it has been a while but I just wanted to give a quick update. I just got home from selection. I start on another new part of my army career in May. Following in Leathernecks footsteps on the quest for the green hat. I know I do not post much but I read everything that I can on this forum. The insight that I gained from the members of this sites posts have helped me get where I am today. For those who are curious I was not the oldest guy who got selected. I will be working toward becoming an 18D. Thank you all again.

To anyone who questions whether they still have it or are resting on their laurels wishing they'd done more, here's a damn fine example of a man doing just what he wants to do.

Keep us posted on how things are going in your career path!
