I just read your blog and it made me feel good about the decision on focusing on becoming a marine. I have two children and am going to school to become a doctor. But with all of this going on in my life, I have always and still am thinking about joining the maries. I am a pusher and do whatever I can to make it for somthing that I believe I can do. I know that I can do this but of course, I am worried about the training. I read what you said about you can never be prepared. And that does scare me. That would scare any women going into the maries. But what really makes me hold my head high and believe in myself is something else I read from you. Basically if you don't want it bad enough, you will not make it. And I want to make it. I want to make it with ever cell in my body. I got pregnant young,and had two kids. Even though I had finished high school and am going to college,I still feel like there is something in my life that is absent. And I believe this is my calling. I want to do something for myself that I know I can do to prove to people and myself there is more to me than just a mom. Then there is the scare to leave my children and my husband. I can't even gather the pain right now about how it is going to hurt them and me. But all I can think about is looking into the eyes of my son and daughter one day and saying you can do whatever you want to do, and can back up that line. Hi there.
