Senior Member dhuge67 Posted August 23, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2006 I have my physical and fitness test next week and if I pass both of those (which I should easily), then next Summer I'll be in Quantico, Virginia for the Marines PLC program. If I get through that, I will return to PSU for my senior year and graduate as a second lieutenant and then go to TBS (officer school) for 6 months. I'm pretty excited about it. Ironically, I'll have to shave my head for a while. The only thing i'm a little bit concerned about (hair-wise) is not being able to take Propecia while I'm at PLC next Summer... In any case...I'm excited about this opportunity. 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ.

Senior Member hairbank Posted August 23, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2006 Congrats to you, Chris. If you don't mind my asking, why did you decide to do it? I was close to doing the same thing when going through college in the mid-1980's but decided not to.

If you don't mind my asking, why did you decide to do it? I was close to doing the same thing when going through college in the mid-1980's but decided not to. Well, I'm in great shape right now, and I've always thought about it. My grandfather was a Marine and my cousin is currently a Lieutenant Colonel. I'm going the officer route though, so I'm not dropping out of school or anything. I just know that my whole future will contain a multitude of options that I wouldn't otherwise be able to get with just a college degree. I know I have the mind and the physical capability to do a good job in a military environment. I have the fitness test on monday - so wish me luck! PS - the hair transplant was not an issue for the medical screening/physical part of the application. Just an FYI for anyone who was curious. 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ.
