Hardly. The most practical advice you (or anyone) has ever given him was to give up this quixotic fixation with the Marines.Originally posted by KrazyHorse View PostComment

We've been over this. I kicked ass at OCS last time out but I had fractures. My GPA was the 2nd or 3rd highest in the platoon. I was personally recommended to attend an abbreviated course by the CO, OCS (but MCRD stopped sending NPQ's to the N-ROTC course). I was regularly used by the staff as a demonstration candidate for stuff like setting up the hooches, the racks, etc. Hell, the closest I ever got yelled at down there was when I slid down the rope on the obstacle course instead of taking my time and doing it the safe way and my instructor put a finger in my face and said in a low voice that he didn't want to ever see me come down the rope like that and showed me how to use my feet as a brake (come on! I never got yelled at! At Marine OCS. That's freaking ridiculous). My one instructor who remembered me from the first time kept promising me he would give me a chit and told me he would relish that moment but I never made a mistake.Originally posted by Lonestar View Post
I know once I go back down there, I will ball out. I know what I am capable of and how much I've grown. My confidence level is at 100%.
My only fault was that I never did well with the peer evaluations (more like spear evals). My fireteam loved me but the rest of my squad except the couple guys I was close to claimed I was too aloof and I didn't go out of my way to help them enough. Whatever. I'm not there to make friends.

This is how everyone knows you're a DL. You wanted to pretend to be a high school student, so you just picked the one at the top of some list.Comment

Well, the good news about my ****ty high school is that it was the thing that got me noticed and effectively enabled me to get literally every job I've ever had.
Guy who interviewed me was also a TJ grad. I think that probably helped a lot
