hello i have been hanging around here for a while but i don't really post. i feel it is better to watch and learn. let me give a little bit of background. i decided in feb of 2006 that i wanted to join the corp. the only problem was that i was extremely over weight at 430+lbs. well after a year and a half my dream comes to a head tomorrow morning. i leave for meps and will hopefully be DEPed in, sign my contract, and get my ship date. i am currently 248lbs, can perform 80 situps, 7 dead hang pull-ups, and run three miles in 22:17. i am so excited and just wanted to say thank you to everyone who post here,especially to deep recon. if i can become just half the marine that many of ya'll are i will be honored. i will let ya'll know what happens at meps thursday.
