I had a lot of old timer prior Es in my flight at our basic. Didn't seem to be a problem. You may be looked up to more by the younger folks to make decisions, b/c they will assume you have a bit more knowledge. Good luck.

Only if you don't keep up with the youngsters in the platoon......
SEMPER FI The Gunny PROUD TO BE AN INFIDEL I prefer to think that the chip on my shoulder gives the monkey on my back something to play with. I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing. “The Meek shall inherit the earth….after I’m through with it.” |

That works! Looking back at myself and reason for joining......I was getting laid off every time I turned around, so in all honesty, I just needed to eat regular. Besides, inside I felt I needed a good swift kick in the ass, so I joined the Marines. I really surprised myself when I graduated Marine Boot Camp.

I'll never forget standing on them yeller footprints! To this day, I will not stand on any footprints painted on the floor. Folks over at DMV get pissed when I wouldn't stand on theirs to get my picuture taken.
