Been awhile....

Man, I can't believe I almost forgot about this place. How is everyone? I hope all is well. Alright, now it's time for me to unload. I am currently in the process of applying for the United States Naval Academy and I am using The Citadel Military Academy of South Carolina as my backup. My mom just recently signed my papers with the recruiter so now I am enlisted in the DEP and I am going to Lansing for my military physical this Thursday and Friday. I think I am pretty well on my way now and thanks for all that advice when I was new to the site. I took it all into consideration when developing my college and military career game plans. My recruiter seems to think I am a shoe in for either the Naval Academy or NROTC scholarship and I hope he is right. Anybody want to offer up some more advice or comments? You know what to do.

Good to see you Garin, even though you almost forgot about us...LOL.
I'm glad your Mom signed the papers. I wish you all the best of luck.
Thanks for choosing to serve our great country.
How's the wrestling coming?

Wrestling has been over for awhile, and I just got done with the track season. My wrestling career turned out 38 wins 11 losses, and in track my best times were like this:
800m 2:02
1600m(1 mile) 4:46
3200m(2 mile) 10:35
Pole Vault 10'6"
It was a pretty good track season and I set a pretty good building block for next year. Now its time for me to get ready to run some marathons over the summer. My goal is to get two of them done over the summer. Oh, and when I said I was going to run a marathon before I chickened out and only did a half-marathon. I ended up getting second place with an hour and twenty minutes. A pretty stiff blizzard hit us at about mile four and lasted all the way to mile seven, otherwise I would have been about an hour and ten minutes. I just recently got into a Tae Kwon Do program and I am about to test for my yellow belt on Tuesday, then I have a tournament June 9th, I'll be combat sparring. I am just trying to stay in the best shape possible for the Marine Corps, I would hate to show up unprepared. My recruiter even thinks I am crazy fast but he says I need to get stronger. I am working on that one big time. Just give me about a month and I could probably almost double my strength, I'll tell ya how it goes.

Combat punishes specialists when it comes to physical training. Remember that.
