rofl Thank God for brave young men like you fishmaster2003. Your courage and conviction restores some of my faith in our generation and I praise you for it!
I would like to add my advice to DR's post and say that I wish I would have spent more time exploring the world. I spent time in different parts of Japan, the PI, and Thailand during my APAC tour but am ashamed that I spent more time goofing off than learning from the rich cultures and histories of those fascinating places. Like DR said, take advantage of EVERY opportunity the Corp offers you. You may never have those opportunities again. Serving the greatest nation on God's green earth is an honor you will carry with you forever. Serve her proud and serve her with the bravery and honor that preceeds you and you'll feel the hearts of millions of us red-blooded americans behind you.
