My experiences, in general, were very positive and this is clearly reflected in my accounts. I joined the military in August 2005 but the application process begun about a year before that, something that I will write about as well.
I'm hoping that those thinking of joining the military will find this blog useful and others will simply enjoy hearing about my adventures. I felt that transcribing my hand written notes from the boot camp days and sharing my "update" emails and photos would benefit some of you out there. To check out my profile click here.
