Study time

bvilchez · 12-27-2010, 02:04 PM

I've come to a point in my life where I have to make a long term decision. Many of you know that I'm a Marine for life.....20+ years.

I've been looking at how to better my retirement for my family and myself and have come to the conclusion that I should put in a Warrant Officer package and become an officer in the Marine Corps. Yea i'll be leaving my enlisted ranks behind but I do need to look forward to the future and how to make it better for my little ones.

In putting in this package I need to re-take my ASVAB and score a little higher. Last time I took it was back in 1996 when I was still in high school and I didn't study or try. So now I need to study to boost my grades.

I apologize ahead of time if I don't respond to PMs or get on as often as I usually do. But I will be focused on studying heavily right after the New Year for the entire month.

Hopefully my avatar will be changing within the next year or so the a Warrant Officer insignia....who knows.

Wish me luck

All the best, Brother.
Hopefully you can squeeze in (or out) a S.H.I.T. now and then.

Anyway, good luck Jay!

Best of luck Jay.

Being a retired 1SG...you know my comment is gonna be "The Corps/Army/Navy/Air Force/Coast Guard still need GOOD senior NonComs". And while we hate to lose you, everyone fully understands making life better for the family.

You'll just be serving in a different capacity.

Good for you Gunny, you're making the right decision. I'm positive that you'll make an outstanding officer.

All the best, bro.

God's blessings on the test.

Peace of the Lrod be with you.

bobarian · 12-27-2010, 04:06 PM

Good luck, Jay. I know you'll make a fine officer.
