One week remains until I go off for Officer Candidate School in Quantico, VA. The time has finally come, I'm prepared, and it's going to suck balls! That's alright though, because I know that pain is temporary and quitting is forever. I'll post again on here when I'm a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps...shaved head and all.

After this Summer, I am going to see a Doctor and evaluate my current situation. I may end up waiting until I'm out of the military to do surgery, since there's no point in having it hidden under a cap all the time and who knows how much else I'll lose in the next 3-4 years.

I still want to get it right though, and I'm not going to give up and just leave a messed up transplant up there. I will address the issue and get it done right, by a top surgeon, probably H&W or Feller. I'll still be 25/26 and I think that's still young yet old (balded) enough to come close to finalizing my hair "situation."

Thanks for all the support guys, wish me luck down there in Quantico!

As long as the moon shall rise
As long as the rivers flow
As long as the sun shall shine
And the grass will grow
Let me listen, I will learn to speak
The old language
Yes, I yearn to bathe in blue skies
And fall apart from the world of machines
Regain my feet and my pounding heart

dhuge,

Great to hear from you bro. Good luck to you in your training. You seem to be determined so I'm sure you'll do well.

Keep us posted on your HT thoughts...You can't go wrong with either H&W or Feller.

Cheers bro,

Falc

Well, at least the USMC is one place where hair loss can be concealed by...a shaved head. lol

I thought it was a funny thing, the other day, when my "silkies" arrived. Silkies are the PT shorts that we wear for runs/exercise, etc. They're shorts that Larry Bird would have been embarrassed to wear...and we're supposed to be WARRIORS!? haha

Well, I guess if terrorists aren't deterred by our M-16s, they are probably going to be rattled by the sight of American men's balls...
