Naa nothing to be ashamed of. Back in '94 my best friend and I decided to enlist together. The problem was he didn't graduate and had a record of some misdemeanors. I'm not sure how much they've lowered the enlistment requirements today, but that made him unacceptable back then. He chose to go through an identical program. This program focused on education and all things military. From what he said later, it was tougher than Basic. Long story short, as a result, completion of the program made him acceptable for military service. 14 years later he is still active (stationed in Hawaii, the turd). I have great respect for any young man or woman who goes through this program, as I've heard it's a real kick in the nuts. Anyone who completes it has earned the privilage of serving in the military in my eyes.
<S>talon. This ol' troop is proud of ya. Hooah.
