Well, with everything going on as I said in previous journals My life has changed alot due to many many factors.
Well, as of 18:45 on 01/30/2009 I swore into the US Marine CORPs. I will be shipping off 02/23/2009 to Basic Training for 13 weeks, where I will have no contact with the outside World other than Snail Mail. so sadly I will be out of contact with most of you until after my training. if any of your information changes within that time PLEASE send me a note with the info so I can make updates. And please keep encouragement in your thoughts for me, I know encouragement from my friends will reach me even without Mail, email, or phone calls.

You will need all of the fortitude, gumption, will and balls you have and definitely some you didn't knew you had. Keep your goal in mind, I think your kids and wife will be nice, and they should get you through it. As my dad told my cousin- it will be the hardest thing you'll EVER do in the marines, so just get through that and you'll be fine.
As I've said i've known marines all my life and most of them are amazing people for the experience. It'll definitely be worth it. But it'll be HARD.
Good luck and Ooo-rah.
