I forgot something that is near and dear to my heart... Well, I didn't forget... I just forgot to post it here.
Happy Birthday USMC (Nov 10)
Thank You, all... and a "you're welcome" to those that said it to me (Veterans day, Nov 11)

How Bad Do I want It?
That has a double meaning to it... if you take in the Delores factor and all....
I just started the steps to become a Cop. I have a test for another department this weekend.
I want the one I just came from based soley on the basis of training and benefits. I have a very small chance of being selected out of the thousands that I am up against. The Marine Corps is all that i have to sway it in my favor as far as selection. I will ace the physical, I will ace the written... If I get put through to poly, I will ace that because I was honest tonight... honesty could be my downfall.
I've always wanted to do this, but was told "no, its to dangerous".. she has no say anymore. I want to do this
They came out just like I expected, screaming and hollering and spitting as they talked.... just like the first day at bootcamp.... but they layed off after the presentation started.
It was a pre application orientation that was mandatory.. Two left
It amazed me that so many people could not follow simple instructions on what to bring or how to dress. It turned out that I was not only 1 of 7 military, I was 1 of 3 Marines..... there were 40 people.... I had a brief conversation with one person who was about to walk out because they said "if the academy is 6 months of worse than that... goodbye"...
I tried to explain that it was a bunch of people doing their job and weeding out the ones that couldn't handle the stress, but then realized... if they couldnt handle the intro, they would never survive the training...much less the job.
I want it. I want it bad. I need to beat odds like I've never beaten before. I've beaten similar, and I need to write similar reports and explanations... but you have to want this to get it....
But no communications are allowed mon-fri....only Sat and Sun when you are home.
I wouldnt have a home, I would have to get rid of everything including this place because why pay a half year rent on a place you don't live in.... Oh well.
I wonder if I would loose Delores in the 6 months I was gone
Now how bad do I want it?
