[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 1395017, member: 4"] I would have been class of 2000 if I'd have stayed (lucky me, that would have put me right in line for the Gulf War). I was only there for "beast" -- I knew about 3 hours into it that I'd made a dreadful mistake but stuck it out the next 6 weeks. :) It wasn't the physical stuff btw -- heck, PT and all of that were the least of my worries -- and it wasn't that I got in trouble (never did, even when my roommate was constantly getting nailed for this or that), it was the culture shock, the stress, and a helping of homesickness. And dpdx -- I know what you're saying about regret -- I don't reget leaving though it took me a while to get over the feeling that I'd failed. And in fact going and then dropping out made certain things harder (had to really scramble to get into a university on a scholarship). [/QUOTE]
