Like any other person on this planet, I am not perfect. But even when I fuck up I lift my load and carry on, carry on. Do not treat me like a liar. I was one for a moment, but that's not who I am. That's something I refuse to live my life being.

HONOR.

INTEGRITY.

COURAGE.

That is who I am. Rock solid. Unstoppable. My life has been too fucked up until this point to quit. And everyone slips once in awhile. Please don't treat me like that's who I am.

I checked into my new unit just fine. Ssgt popped a boner over my Alphas. The extreme attention to detail paid off. I picked up where the unit is right now: they're training to test some new kind of Howitzer. This could be a very good, and very career accelerating move for me.

"First Marine Division is the cutting edge" I've heard. All the new gear, all the cutting edge products of our military geniuses are convened and tested here. 29 Palms will make or break my ideas about the Marine Corps.

Hold on, don't let go. The mistakes you've made in the past cannot determine who you truly are. The Marines of Okinawa are not the Marine Corps as a whole. You are different. And you are better now than what you were. Whatever anyone says, you just keep your head down and keep on keepin' on. Oohrah.
