3-14 August A&S

[Ape_Hot]

Hey guys I attended 3-14 and am back. I got med dropped for a sparained ankle. I was really pissed for a while, but I'm over it now. I see it as an opportunity to come back faster and stronger. I really loved phase 1 (aspoc) it was a great program and I cant wait to go back in January. I met ape over there and we talked, really good guy. I have a lot to say about aspoc so if you wanna ask anything fire away !

Dude, I saw that happen and I felt your heartbreak with you. You better be back in January!

First, this is freaking awesome! Congrats!



Bingo. Prepping each other is one thing, G2'ing a course is another.We have instructors from different branches and courses floating around, don't be "that guy", you know?

Again, congratulations, Marine!

Thanks, and yes, I completely agree. My lips are sealed about Phase II. Trust me, the surprise is worth it.

... If it wasn't for you all, I wouldn't be standing here today...)

Nah, dude, it was all you.

No amount of cheer-leading or advising is worth a damn except for the person carrying the burden across the finish line.

That finish line isn't the end. You're only crossed the A&S. Keep your head screwed on tight. The end won't happen until about 20 years from now when you can reminisce all you wish.

All it takes is a twisted ankle, an infected cut, a poor PLF, ascending too fast on a sub lock out, an ND in a stack, or some other twist of fate to curtail your dreams.

Enjoy the respite. You've earned it.

Now earn tomorrow's reward.

Good luck and keep us posted.

That's solid advice. As soon as I get back home, it's square 1 as far as I'm concerned. I'm excited to take everything I learned here and apply it to my training.

I'm going to try and get some of the selects from my class on here to track ITC prep.
