I signed my contract yesterday with the Marine Corps. The paperwork is finally finished, now I have to wait to hear back from the board about my acceptance.
A lot of people I talk to don’t understand that this is a competitive process. They hear stories on the news about the military failing to meet recruiting [...]

I did my final PFT the other day. I got a 272 out of a possible 300. I did 18 pull-ups, 100 crunches, and ran 3 miles in 20:53. I wasn’t too happy with my run time but it’s an overall decent score and I’m going to go with it.
