I don't have a story similar to yours but, I also joined because I didn't want to regret not going... I never regretted and JOINED! I wanted to wish you and your family alot of luck and success, it won't be easy so alot of support is needed.**The best advice I can give you is to be prepared physically and emotionally.**I went to bootcamp Apr of 93.**Take alot of Avon Skin SO Soft because the sand fleas are HORRIBLE!!!**I am now out but, my husband is an active duty officer.**Good luck and my best to you and your family.

I went to college, didnt like it, was married and had a good job and was still missing something, and the Marine Corps gave me that.
