It is now Friday, and I will be reporting in, about 4 hours from now.
Thanks to Casey for introducing herself to those of you who do not know her. She'll do a great job keeping everyone informed.
Well, the knee feels great, I feel great and can really say I feel very well prepared. Like the Sgt at the office back in Philadelphia told me, "it won't really hit you until you drive through the front gate." I think he hit the nail on the head.
Just have to finish and take care of a few last minutes stuff, and then am meeting up with 2nd Lt. Houpt (aka Crosby) for some lunch and maybe a last minute pep talk. I am very excited but still slightly nervous. Sam was right, it just did seem like yesterday I was telling everyone goodbye as I moved across the country to Philadelphia, and here I am getting ready to check-in for the Marines.
Its going to be one hell of a first 3 weeks, and I look forward to talking and hearing from you all then.
Candidate LaMarre reporting for duty.

Good luck Mark! This will more than likely be the biggest challenge of your life, but I know that you are up to it; you trained hard, and you are ready. Take care and I look forward to your updates on your progress.
