US Marine Drill Instructors yelled at us in bootcamp saying that Navy Seals training had a bell that you could ring if you wanted to quit and give up. In the Marines there is no such bell and the DIs let us know this daily by mentally and physically pounding the mentality in us that there is no option of giving up. Keep that same mentality everyday as you go through life that there are no bells to ring to give up and quit so when you are feeling defeated and ready to give up just remember that there is no giving up and to keep digging because you will succeed since its the only option. Semper Fidelous.

See you next week in the gloom at the new P-HOP AO
