What are you going in as? Infantry?

I'll be at Parris Island on August 11th for bootcamp for 2 months. I'm so stoked and I can't wait. I'm not sure what I'll be doing yet, Tuesday when I go to enlist I'm taking the ASVAB test again, then I'm sure I'll pick a job depending on where I score the highest.

I could be wrong but I don't think it's that intense anymore. Plus, all I have to do is be better than 1 person in my Battalion and I won't get as much **** as him :).

Thought about it. Then I said to myself, "If I'm going to be joining the military, why not join the best?" Not putting down the Army in any way.

Do it man. I dropped outta college twice, school just isn't my thing, never has been and never will be. The Marines is a great and honorable title to carry around for the rest of your life.
By the way, I'll be:
3rd Battalion
Kilo Company
Stationed at Ft. Story, 5 minutes away from VA beach, just can't beat that
Linear Mode
