    Life changing moment

    I decided to go into the US Marines Corps. I will be getting sent to quantico, Va to go to officer training since i have a 4 year degree in school. Guess this will put a little damper on my 4-5 times a week fishing trips huh.....But I think I made a good decision. Hope all is well

    John, you have made a good choice and if you have any questions feel free to ask me, I have 23 years of combined enlisted and officer experience behind me in the Marine Corps. I worked at OCS from 94-95 so I can fill you in on what to expect when you get there. Good luck!

    John
    I work on Quantico (when not traveling anyway) now. So, if you need anything or a place to go when they give you liberty let me know.

    When do you start OCS?
