I'm back and alive! Kinda surprising it all felt like one strange blur but I go through it. I put my head down and rammed through boot training which makes me officially a unites states marine. So, hello everyone what have I missed!

Congrats! Seems like it's been a long time.

Good luck!

Good luck dude! I knew a guy who went thru boot and he said as long as you do exactly what your told to do you'll do just fine.

I have never felt myself to be attractive. It's probably one of the hardest things that I had to get over in my life. Growing up I had always been very self conscious about my weight and thought I was too ugly to ever have a women of the opposite sex choose me. It wasn't until recently that I started to feel like it was...

Good for you! I wish I could even remember a time when women checked me out :-)

It's always surprising who is willing to say good bye and who conviently ignores you. Since I'm leaving in less then three weeks I thought I would be able to say good bye to a lot do important people on my life. Some friends that I had not seen in a while. That's when I started to be surprised on who was willing so far...

I was looking at another one of these blog suggestion from Missy and I had an idea. Why doesn't the male side of this have a version for themselves. A lot of us can't become a SG....Whether it be for practical reasons like not have the genitalia or more extravagant reasons....We just can afford the sex change operation (yet). I propose I am going to...

Congratz on almost reaching what you want to do! I have a couple friends in the marines. Much respect to those that serve xx

@cheetahsuicide Thanks! I'm hoping that something clicks when I finally make it. We will see but I have been excited about this and recently is the first time I have been confident that I will get to boot. I feel like anything is possible with all that I have had to do these past couple of years.

I wonder if this is my only place to be weak anywhere. I don't allow myself to show anything of this in front of my family, friends or loved ones. So, whoever ends up responding, shaking their head or even reading. Thank you. I may not be a beautiful woman with tattoos but I am a person like anyone else here. Thank you.

Recently I...

@damian_stark Thanks! I took me a long time to get over her. I'm hoping that these next few weeks will be steps I take to move on. I'm lucky enough to have some closure. It's more than many others.

Just listening to music and waiting to go to bed. I really want time to skip forward until I can workout again and turn off my mind for a little bit.

Vance Joy- Riptide. I can't stop listening to this song.

Kings of Leon- Knocked Up.

The Shins- Simple Song

I know that feeling all to well. Hope things turn around soon.

I have a lot on my mind. I just finished my paperwork for leaving soon, rejected by my friend and another strange sensation of rejection.

I guess what bothers me the most right now is my impending leaving. I don't think I am coming back to the home I've lived any time soon. I have been here for near 15 years in the same home....

@espy Oh, by the way I think it's the most amazing thing that you are a tattooed airforce woman. It's never easy but it is amazing. 
espy:
It's cool. I think it's pretty awesome whenever I see a person joining. The military isn't for everyone but since you're joining the corp, that's a brotherhood- for life whether it's one enlistment or retirement. It's for life. Lol. Regardless, good luck with that. And there's a lot of tattooed military. Lol.
