So I just found out that I can not reenlist to stay in the Marine Corps. I am automatically disqualified because of the injuries I had in Afghanistan. It really did not sink in when I first heard. Now I just feel like I am gonna vomit. I am speechless, and I have no idea what I am gonna do now. I feel so helpless in this situation. My family and friends say that I will be fine, but I don’t know. I wish that there is more that I can do. Now all I can do is submit my claims to the VA. I know that there is life after the Marine Corps, but I know that there is so much more that I can do with my career. Once a Marine, Always a Marine. I know that no one can take that from me. Semper Fidelis Marines!

I found this video of a marine from my unit. This is really awesome! 

I am in a ton of pain from my shoulder surgery. I feel like my shoulder is going to explode. I actually get to return to work on a limited duty status. I have never been hurt in my five years in the Marine Corps. If I had to do it all over again, I would do it in a heartbeat without any hesitation or doubt. I am excited about returning to work with my fellow Marines. I have never been so proud of anything this much in my life. I am a Marine until I die and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Adapt and Overcome!

Semper Fidelis!!!
