Nice net...
About a year ago while I was in the process of doing college applications, I was bugged by a dude from the Marines named Sgt. Brown. It was great, because it seemed like he was trying to connect with the "younger generation" by speaking in a very California way... he must have called me "bro" about 20 times. I was trying to convince him that I am not exactly a military person, and I was satisfied with going to a university, but he was damn persistent. Long questionnaire about how I lived my life, he seemed impressed at first, then when we got to the point where I explained I had mild asthma and a recent battle with myocarditis, he said I probably wouldn't do well. It was great, because he said it like I would be disappointed "well, bro, I gotta be honest with you man..."
After the frustration, I decided to give him the name of my friend who has good enough health. Apparently, he had already called him before, but gave him another cal... and another call... it seems he called him about 5 times, left several messages, and eventually my friend couldn't avoid him and went through the call. Good times... gotta credit them Marines for their persistence... semper fi.
