One of the main reasons I went scarce for those few weeks is I was in the process of making a very important decision. I have decided that I am going to enlist in the Marines. Within the next two weeks I will be doing all the beginning things to get the ball rolling.

Since I have a bunch of college credits behind me I was told that when I come out of boot camp I will be a pfc and within for mnths out of boot camp I will be up for Lance Corpral. I came home today from a weekend trip of skiing and I broke the news to my mom. Basicly it was a 4 hour talk of her crying and all upset. I told her that I could DEP and that would mean I would be in inactive duty for a yr. Made her feel a little better, I figure that bcuz then she'll have a yr. to talk me out of it, which won't happen.

Just thought I'd let you guys know whats going on and how I'm doing.
