Sending first kid off to college
Hell yeah, Brother! I remember that day also, same situation, mediocre grades and no college funds 'cause I knew I wanted to be a Marine instead of a college preppie....My friend got me trashed the night before and at 0400, I was still tanked when I met the recruiter at the curb in front of our condo. Parents waved me off, I got in the back of the Ford Taurus and fell back asleep. We picked up 2 more guys and drove 90 minutes to the San Diego MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) and after a day of physicals, tests, paperwork and other BS, we Marines got on the bus for the short ride to MCRD, Some Sailors got on a different bus and went across the airport to the Navy training center, while the Army and Air Force guys went to the SD airport to fly out to their basics. Hey, we got to graduate in 14 weeks!
