When things get rough, just hum the theme to "Rocky" or the tune to Eminems "Till I Collapse"- its a well known fact that's what got the Spartans through Thermopalye...
In all seriousness, good luck. You probably don't need it as you've been prepping this whole time- you'll kick ass dude.
I didn't want to deter from the original thread, so I thought I'd post this in here. Seemed like the next best place.
For all you wanna-bes, I hope you've read THIS THREAD and given some serious thought as to what it means and how it could relate to you and your potential future jobs.
Put your name in the title and think about that. Or, put yourself in x_sf_med's shoes. When is the last time you had to drop everything to go take care of a wounded Brother in arms, like he did? I'm sure it wasn't even a second thought for him.
I'm not really sure what else to say, so I guess I'll just leave it at that.

We get some time off for Thanksgiving just like the rest of the Marine Corps, thankfully. It's gonna suck afterward.
Let me know if when you get time off base, I live in Atlanta, you're welcome to come chill, grab a beer or whatever. Good luck in RASP buddy, it's been a long time coming!
Good luck. I kind of wish I was doing it for the first time again. The excitement of doing something new, testing yourself in ways you've never been tested again, the possibility of serving with a unit that you read books about...however I would never want to be a Private again.
I'm home for Thanksgiving we started with 136 and left for pass with 119...I'm one of the 119. Cole Range when we get back.

Good shit mate, smash it.
Good shit!
How does it feel to be back?
I'm so focused man. It has taken me like a year to get back, and while it sucks I won't directly be able to get a shot at RASP, I'm going to make the best of it. It's a great feeling, but it's also like I'm at do or die time now. I have a "second chance at life" per say.
Goo shit man. You've got a bunch of time to prepare to get in there and knock this shit out of the park.
Also, for future reference its "per se".
After many setbacks, I'm headed down to MEPS tomorrow. About time.
Passed through without issue. Picked up a Corpsman contract and will take my PST for EOD this month. Things are off to a great start!

Is this an unofficial, 'courtesy' PST for your own interest/gauge, or is there a more official reason that they are having a DEP poolee with a Corpsman contract take a SPECWAR PST, and more specifically for the EOD rating?
That's how you get an NSO/NSW contract. You have to sign on with a "big Navy" job at MEPS, then obtain your NSO/NSW contract through passing the PST, and not being a shit bag.
