Sgt. Joe foo’ the Marine left this weekend for OCS (he had to miss the season premiere of Battlestar Gallatica, for which he was very upset; I blurted out that I’ll buy him it when it comes out on DVD… but do you know how much they make you pay for ten episodes?). He worked hard to get accepted into OCS (he’s a bit old for it, his getting in it having been delayed by his deployment to Iraq), but he still has a lot of work ahead of him. Most don’t make it through to become a commissioned officer. Still, Joe has been a Marine for eight years now, and, despite being a foo’, he’s pretty smart and should do well. Still, keep him in your prayers.
BTW, he’s been spoiling for a fight with the Norks since he first joined the Marines.
Also, Patriot Xeno is part of the same OCS class. Godspeed to them both.
Word up to that, Frank J. Good luck to them both!
I hope they don’t catch OCD while at OCS.
Godspeed, Sgt. Joe foo’ and you are in our prayers. And, as I am Catholic, my prayers are 25 times more powerful than other prayers. The USA needs men like you. Thank you for your service to our nation and God bless you and America.
Well one of the best officers I ever met while I was in the Army was an OCS grad. Damn fine mane that I would follow throught he gates of hell with only a mouthfull of spit to fight with.
I am sure your brother will be just as good (for a Marine anyway)
Hope Mr. Foo has his land nav down.
Please pass along this loyal reader’s best wishes good speed. The Marines need good officers just as any branch. I am sure he’ll be a great one.
