Sorry I've been away from my little sounding board for so long. I've been busy pulling my German grade out of the stygian depths it has sunk to.
In other news (I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing this), my absolutely final PFT is on Tuesday. This is the very, very, very last one before the board meets the next Monday. I'm looking forward to it, because when you think about it, there is a binary solution set. Either I pass, in which case the board may or may not accept me, or I fail, in which case I try again in May. Either way, I really don't care. I'm so burnt out right now, all I want is a break. Hell could freeze over and I wouldn't care. I realize that this isn't a very "Marine" sort of thing to say, but I have my reasons. So look at it this way: I'm not giving up, I'm merely falling back and regrouping. If in the process of falling back I happen to drink myself into a stupor a few weekends, well, I'm not going to feel remiss in my duties. Even the hardest charging Marines get a few days off each year.
