So i got a call from the marine recruiter

[speedminded]

If they didn't offer you BUD/S it wasn't because they didn't feel like it. Your PT obviously wasn't up to par. Or you had medical irregularities. Anybody qualified for BUD/S may go, period.

I was definitely in shape but did have both knees operated on two years before. Out-patient arthroscopic procedures to free them of bone fragments after years of seriously abusing them. Doctors said I couldn't ever play soccer again or I'd most likely need total knee replacements before I was 30. That was right after being told I could walk on to Clemson's soccer team instead of being a junior in high school, just one more year of keeping a B average and I could go. 29 now and just started playing again less than 2 years ago with no problems...sometimes wish I had kept playing!

But then I think about it, could have played soccer and gone to school for architecture, busted my ass in school and working for 6-7+ years straight to get registered and I'd still most likely be out of a job today lol! Fail.

Now back to the regularly scheduled program.

there'd be your refusal to BUD/S. Too bad, SF BUD/S training is quite the experience.
