Trashed dreams

red92gt

NFO? no. SNA? not yet. FNG? yep.
I was really looking forward to leaving for OCS on Sunday. I was almost completely packed, knew all I needed to know and then some, in top physical condition, and as mentally prepared as I will ever be. That was before I decided to go cruising today and get railed by some idiot in a minivan, breaking my foot in two places and effectively ending any hopes of doing anything at all for the rest of what will now be a miserably long summer. Good luck at OCS guys, I'm rooting for ya.
 
That does suck, man.

I know it's not what you probably want to hear, and it may not seem like it now; But everything happens for a reason, man. I'm a firm believer.

Best of luck with a speedy recovery.

awe sh*t man. Sorry to hear that. I know that's a big deal for marine types and you def. can't run 4-5 mile runs with a broke foot. Hey, at least you're not dead.

Sorry to hear that man! Rest up, recover and get back in there, you will be 100% sooner than you think and have a nice drill sergeant screaming that fact in your face before you know it. Get well, and good luck!

Trashed? Come on man, you'll do fine. If you've had the dedication to follow your dreams this far, I think you'll make it one way or the other.

Keep your chin up and good luck to ya! It's one more year to drink and have fun :)

Red,

Sorry to hear about your incident. I wish you the best and I know you'll make it into the Marine Corps eventually! Heal quickly and definitely hit up the book list. I've bought about 10 titles off of it already and haven't been disappointed yet. :)

Look at it this way; you still have your LIFE. It could have been a lot worse so keep your head up and you will get to your goal.

There's no doubt about that, I was definitely very fortunate that this was as bad as it got. I'll be talking to my OSO tomorrow about getting into 2007 Jrs.

Hey man, a lot of us have had setbacks in our pasts but still made it to where we are... you can bounce back too.
 
Enjoy the morphine and perko-set (Sp?), everything happens for a reason. Sorry to hear the bad news, recover, get better, and shoot for next year.
