I'm going Navy and not Marines, but I totally agree - it's never too early to start anticipating the next step of the next chapter of your life. I wish with every passing minute that Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break would hurry up and get here as I'm ready for the summer and to get going and into OCS/API/Naval Aviation. Good luck with the wait, and I'm sure we'll find some beverages to make the time pass by a little easier...
