Little more than a month
In a little more than a month I ship to MCRD SD.
I'm a little nervous....the closer it gets, the more nervous I get.
I've been drinking more often than usual lately. I think it's cause I know after I ship, I'm not gonna get a break until....well I get out of the military. I'm gonna go reserves. Come back August 18th, go straight into school and my research position, next summer it will be either OCS, hopefully OCS, or SOI. If I'm not worthy of being an officer, I'll ship with the reserve unit in Harlingen to Iraq in Sep. of 2010. Just after I graduate college.
That scares me too, but, it comes with the job. I went and did my INI interview with the reserve unit a few weeks back. He explained the job of a Reserve Marine. When he was telling me all this, I think he was expecting me to react different. After everything he told me, he'd pause, but I know what I'm getting into. I understood what comes with putting my name on that contract, for better or for worse.
It's just something I have to do. I gotta be selfless before I can be selfish.
I gotta stop drinking now and start getting ready for boot camp. It's going to be hard. I've had a run in with the DI's before, for 2 days. I can't even imagine 3 months.
Nothing more to see here.
