Hey Chris!!!!!!!

Glad to hear from you buddy!!!!!!

Keep pumping iron!!!!!!

Sounds like you're doing great, Chris. It's been a pleasure getting to know you. I'll be anxious to hear how boot camp goes for you this summer. You're gong to be in great shape.........keep it up!

I just thought I'd pop in to share a few things with you all.

First, the hair situation: the scar is hardly visible anymore. It seems that at about the 1-year point, it looked much more faded than it did at even 6 months. Today, it's really, really thin and light-looking, which makes it easier to buzz my hair. The hair in the front (the transplants) looks slightly better, due to the "aging" of the transplants. It's still a dusting of follicular units though, and I'm still thinning out all over...but much more slowly thinning than I did at age 19.

Marine Corps: Just 2.5 months until I ship off to Quantico, VA for a nice 10-week Summer vacation. Training is going well; lifting and running are my main areas of concentration for the time being, much to the flummoxing of my peers at Penn State.....RIGHT. For them it's beer first, books second. For me it's the gym first, the books second.

Well...good luck to everyone with their current growth or upcoming procedures. I wish you all luck!

Thanks for the continued support,

Chris

Dhuge,

You muscle man you! I heard Steroids can automatically clone hair follicles underneath the skin and spread them out to the balding areas? I heard it helps if you lift weights while standing on your head . (Seriously guys...don't try this at home)

Good to hear from you brother! Glad to hear that the scar is hardly noticable. You can worry about the hair situation later like you said. But for now, keep working hard man...you seem to love it and have a passion for it.

I'm proud to have you representing our country my friend! Keep in touch with your formerly bald but now hairy brothers!

Thanks for the update, Chris.

Kudos to you for keeping your priorities straight......much to the chagrin of your friends, I'm sure . Glad to here you're staying in shape. Good luck and stay in touch.

Chris,

Good to hear from you. I'd imagine that with a Marine hair cut everyone's on equal plane with hairlines non existent.

I'm sure we'd all like to hear about your tour of duty. Stay in touch, if not about hair than life.

The Commandant of the Marine Corps recently said that "all Marines will go," so I fully expect to do a tour of duty (or multiple) in the 'ol Sandbox. Hopefully I'll have some interesting things to share with you all, after I come back from that experience.

OCS (boot camp) is going to be a joke for me, physically. I just have to hold myself from laughing at the D.I.s and I'll be fine! lol I fully intend and expect to graduate and commission and then live off of one MRE a day, forget all about showers, the Internet, fitness, or even friends; it'll be all about winning the mission and getting the men back safely. I've gotta be "Tom Hanks" about this (Saving Private Ryan).

And if we're out of Iraq by then (doubtful), I'll try to bring back Kim Jong or Ahmadinejad's head...

They'll need a little more than a hair transplant...

as long as you dont copy Kim Jong's hair transplant
