I don't post too much, but I had to reply to this!
Don't let anyone tell you that you are too "girly" to make it. Anything you set your mind to..you can do it. I applaud you making a choice that is probably one of the best that you can make. You'll be proud of yourself..more than you've ever been.
Back in '95 I made a decision...I joined the Marine Corps.
And let me tell you..I have never once looked back with regret. It is a title that no one can ever take away from me. I was very girly. Hated the outdoors, heck,(very embaressed to admit this) I wouldn't(couldn't) make it through am exercise video tape!!
Only 2 people believed in me, that I would make it through boot camp.
It was tough..the hardest thing I have ever and will ever do. (and I had an 11lb baby!!) But I did it. Graduation day is something I will never forget.
Good luck in what you do!! If you have any questions feel free to email me.
