I know it has been awhile since I have posted on this thing, I could have done a lot better. Before I head out I wanted to tell all of you thank you for allowing me the opportunity to train you in order to become United States Marines. It has been a long hard road for some, it has been easier for others. I am truly thankful of those that stuck to it and did not quit when things got hard. When you were doubtful of yourselves you sought guidance and continued on with the fight. This is a true characteristic of a strong leader, being able to adapt and overcome when the decisions you have to make might not always be an easy one. I look forward to seeing each of you in the fleet. Remember why you made the decision to become something. If you quit when its hard you will never finish anything. Stay motivated out there.

Poolees of RSS Lawton, some of you may have read some negative comments posted on our pool function pictures. I did not delete them on purpose. I want them to stand as a reminder of what Marines dont do and that represent the bottom 10% of the Marine Corps. These are the type of Marines I warned all of you about, this Marine is being dealt with. Continue motivating each other and pushing yourself farther each day. Remember who YOU are and what you strive to be. SSgt Witherow

"Those who are truly destined to become Marines will one day wake up in boot camp, while those who toy with the notion of becoming a Marine as if anyone can become one, will continue to do just that."
