Never give up...

I found out today that my PFT score (a 220) has kept me out of the Marine Officer program. My OSO encouraged me a lot today...telling me to count everything I learn in boot and build it up. I will not quit. I see this as an opportunity to really get to know the Marine Corps and feel this would only help out my future.

In addition, there are some prospects I may gain...like becoming a pilot. There is a distinct possibility that I may be able to qualify for a pilot slot if I continue my current course. We'll see how things go...but it would be a life long dream that I thought was gone in 2nd grade.
