I've come to a point in my life where I have to make a long term decision. Many of you know that I'm a Marine for life.....20+ years.
I've been looking at how to better my retirement for my family and myself and have come to the conclusion that I should put in a Warrant Officer package and become an officer in the Marine Corps. Yea i'll be leaving my enlisted ranks behind but I do need to look forward to the future and how to make it better for my little ones.
In putting in this package I need to re-take my ASVAB and score a little higher. Last time I took it was back in 1996 when I was still in high school and I didn't study or try. So now I need to study to boost my grades.
I apologize ahead of time if I don't respond to PMs or get on as often as I usually do. But I will be focused on studying heavily right after the New Year for the entire month.
Hopefully my avatar will be changing within the next year or so the a Warrant Officer insignia....who knows.
Wish me luck

Best of luck Jay.
:-) Being a retired 1SG...you know my comment is gonna be "The Corps/Army/Navy/Air Force/Coast Guard still need
GOOD senior NonComs". And while we hate to lose you, everyone fully understands making life better for the family.
:-) :-) You'll just be serving in a different capacity.
