Default Been in the Marines for 2 years today.

Well today is the 2 year mark for me. It seems to have gone by quick enough, only 2 more to go before i come home! I was talkin to a buddy of mine who is getting out here in a month or so and there is a benefit for us not sure what it is called but can get out 3-6 months early to get into school, or a police academy and such. So i get out in March 07 but could possibly be home in Dec 06!

Try not to go get shipped off anywhere. Janna would kill you first.

Ya they are saying im going in August. I want to go do my part, get some action. And besides 6-9 months = $13,000 -$20,000 of comat pay waiting in the bank when i get back!!!! It will aslo help the rest of my enlistment to go by allot faster, and it has calmed down considerably over there so i might not get any action. anyway that is still a 4-5 months off before we start talking about it.

Boot nah, (finally) i teach the Cpl's and Sgt's that come in to PMO everything. I will be getting CPL on the 1st of April as long as the cutting score isn't over 1650 but we will see. Cpl in exactly 2 years, not the best but not bad either! Should be a SGT when i get out!

now that is awesome! Be safe, have fun, and see you when you get back! A few of my good marine friends are coming home in 3 weeks! have not seen them since they left for their first and second (for a few) tour of Iraq.

23rd infantry U.S.M.C. i sent them a **** load of cigarrettes and gummy bears.. needless to say they were some happy campers

Haha yeh I know it ain't a true hawk, but still looks clean like you said! Shaun's still playin wit his dingy in San Marcos. I graduated and am living with my folks for a bit here on the NW-side of Houston. I think he's got till December but I dunno if he's gonna move to Houston or not. I need a damn job for real dude... Been interviewing around with a buncha companies but can't catch a break... I'm not going to download the yahoo thing cuz I'm on 56K here at home but I do have AIM. Same screen name as here! Take care dude.
