Senior Member dhuge67 Posted May 20, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2007 One week remains until I go off for Officer Candidate School in Quantico, VA. The time has finally come, I'm prepared, and it's going to suck balls! That's alright though, because I know that pain is temporary and quitting is forever. I'll post again on here when I'm a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps...shaved head and all. After this Summer, I am going to see a Doctor and evaluate my current situation. I may end up waiting until I'm out of the military to do surgery, since there's no point in having it hidden under a cap all the time and who knows how much else I'll lose in the next 3-4 years. I still want to get it right though, and I'm not going to give up and just leave a messed up transplant up there. I will address the issue and get it done right, by a top surgeon, probably H&W or Feller. I'll still be 25/26 and I think that's still young yet old (balded) enough to come close to finalizing my hair "situation." Thanks for all the support guys, wish me luck down there in Quantico!

Senior Member dhuge67 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2007 Well, at least the USMC is one place where hair loss can be concealed by...a shaved head. lol I thought it was a funny thing, the other day, when my "silkies" arrived. Silkies are the PT shorts that we wear for runs/exercise, etc. They're shorts that Larry Bird would have been embarrassed to wear...and we're supposed to be WARRIORS!? haha Well, I guess if terrorists aren't deterred by our M-16s, they are probably going to be rattled by the sight of American men's balls... 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ.
