Introduction of Self and Seeking others.

[OCSBound2009]

Hello all. My name is Will Wiggins. This is my first post to the Forum and I was instructed that an introductory post is the norm around here so... I am a second semester junior at a small Private College in North-West Georgia known as Shorter College. I have been a three year Starter so far for the Hawks Football Team where I am listed as a Noseguard in the 3-4 Front, though I can be found playing end and tackle when we move to our Four man package. I am 5'8" and about 240 right now. I plan on joining the Marine Corps immediately following my graduation from Shorter in the Spring of 2009. At this time I will move on to OCS at Quantico, Virginia where I will partake in the OCC in the hopes of becoming an honorable 2nd Lieutenant for the Corps. My hopes are to become a Naval Aviator and fly the F/A 18's or (hopefully they will be in production by then) the Joint Strike Fighter. All I have to do between now and then is..... Lose 50 Lbs following my senior season (Since there is no body fat waiver prior to indoctrination into the Corps), Graduate, and pass the ASTB. And oh yeah, get through OCS successfully and intact! If there is anyone still reading, I would like to get into contact with any other potential OCS candidates for the Spring of 2009 to shoot the breeze and introduce you to a few of my other buddies who will be entering then as well. Look for me on the Boards, I will have plenty of questions and I will greatly appreciate any answers I receive. Thanks everyone and have a great day.

Hey Will,

Welcome to the Forum and thanks for your desire to serve our great
country.
There is a collective wealth of information here about the Marine Corps.
I'm not one of the sources of that info, but I'm sure the experts will identify themselves to you in short order.

Thanks Pat for the warm welcome. So far I have not really been able to scroll the site as much as I would like but I will work on it daily. If I have questions I will hit you up first since you seem open, then I'll throw myself to the winds to find answers after you. Have a great day and I'll look for you on the Boards.
