Larfive Update
Gents,
Its been awhile since I've last posted due to being feet wet. However, I am happy to say that at last I have a chance to join the ranks of the few. Just waiting on orders to go to Mackall.
I would like to thank someone who I consider a good mentor The Reaper for you endless encouragement and guidance. The Team Sergeant for your awesome site and of course guidance. NSD for all of your advice. I plan on keeping in touch with all of your through this site to keep you updated. I am slotted for June class and if selected I requested the next immediate mos date, even if its a couple of days away.
Any advice other than I have read that you feel I may need, my mouth is shut and ears wiiiiiiiiiiiide open. Thanks again gents
RLTW!

LOL - yep, that one's going to leave a big mark. Maybe even a sucking chest.
Congratulations to both of you. Crip, if you're waiting on me to move back to the States so I can come to your graduation, it might be a while. I've been down here since Just Cause. And they probably have some kind of age or time limit for how long they let you hang out before they expect you to actually go to work.

No age limit...
Just happy to finally be healed enough (read: been injected with enough Kenalog, monthly, for the pain to subside) to start really training again. Tired of wasting time, atching my fellow soldiers progress. Its my turn, dammit!
