I've made the decision to join the Marine Corps. I will be going in through the Platoon Leaders Course in Quantico in hopes of accepting a commission as 2nd Lt. My goal is to fly the new Lockheed-Martin F-35 JSF that will be replacing the F/A-18 and the AV-8 Harrier.
I've got my MEPS physical on Monday at 6:00am. Wish me luck. This is the biggest decision I've ever made.
Best of luck to you. I spent 4 years in the marines, and did 2 tours in Iraq - through all the tough times, the marines not only changed my life, but left me with memories and friends that I will have forever. It's a brotherhood unlike any other. Be safe, Sir.

If I even thought I had a chance to fly, I'd join the military, but I've been told only like the top 4% get to fly in the Air Force, so I'll just keep dreaming.
MEPs rescheduled my appt for today at 0600. I got done just after noon. They gave me a clean bill of health and some good news about the first step to becoming a pilot. My vision is 15/20 and 17/20, which the docs called "fighter pilot vision". I'm pretty excited at this point.
Fighter pilot vision, how awesome is that!!! That's good to read because too many pilot-wannabees get disappointed and totally bummed when they're great on everything but find out their vision isn't good enough. :thumbsup: :cheers2:
