My mistake, May of '08 is correct.  Thank you again for all your help.  I am still playing junior college basketball, its my last year at Cochise.  This year is going to be  great,  coach is endowing me with so much responsibility.  I am going to learn alot about leadership this year first hand.  Hope all is well.  If you have any advice for me, I'd love to hear it as always.

Misdating your PLC class!  With mistakes like that you wont go far :0!

If its anything like the 1980s he wont have to decide until about half way through TBS.  PLC or OCS is generally much too soon to even think much about it, unless one wants to be a aviator.

I am going to put in for infantry, I would love to go Recon eventually, Nathaniel Flick did it, why cant I?  However, for now that is not my main concern, I just want to be a Marine and serve.  I read, One Bullet Away, by Nathaniel Flick, he said that whomever graduates at the head of the class gets to pick his MOS.  I plan on being number one, also my friend, a corpsman, is station in San Diego, while speaking with butter bars over there he told me that the Corps is in need of infantry officers currently, does anyone have any insight to this?  Also what should I work on before going to OCS?  I plan on having a perfect pft by May, I'm still playing college basketball so thats keeping me in superb shape, and grades up, 3.5.  My Ssgt. is going to give me a package after first semester to study, but he hasnt told me what is in it?  Should I know the Core Values and be able to, word for word restate everything on the ocs.usmc.mil web site?  I read alot and work out more, pull ups are in the 20's, my 3 mile is around 21 minutes right now, as soon as basketball season is over and I can start training for long distances that will be at 18 minutes, and cruches are easy.  Any and all help is much appreciated.

Thank you.
