Well, I've officially spent one full day at Twenty Nine Palms, California. I must say that I really like this place. It seems somewhat unforgiving though. I did not really hydrate before I got here and I noticed myself gasping for sand and air. I am already getting use to it though. My friends here are pretty cool. Once again, I have to reinforce that Marines, although they require a special type of determination that any one can possess, seem to have pasts similar to the experiences that I've had: family issues that they regret causing, a history of making overall bad decisions, and a determination to not let their past catch up with them.
I am looking forward to spending time with my mates and getting to know them better.
On the way here I sat back and looked upon myself in revelation and disguist. I could not believe that the 19 years spent on this Earth has inhabited nothing but fear, anguish, and overall lack of professionalism and bearing. Hopefully, I'm still climbing to the top (midpoint) of my life and there will be many more instances to learn from.
