42 Years Ago Today: Parris Island

42 years ago today I graduated from Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island.  This is my first post as I have grown tired of my present way of life and want to revert my mental and physical health back to that of when I was an active duty Marine.

This is a short post and will be the first of many.  We will cover many topics on this website.  Where we go will depend on events that have not happened yet as we grow more mature in our goals. I just know what I want and it is time to go.

Today the journey to returning to a disciplined way of life regarding my mental and physical health has begun.  I know MANY former active duty and Reserve Marines feel the way I do and this site is simply a way to know we are not alone.

I look forward to watching this website grow in passion, content, and assistance that visit.  Lord knows we all need help sometimes.
