Good luck in the new class! I don't really know you, but I know you will succeed, because it's something you WANT!
Okay, all the classes are finished. I even had fire fighting training out on Long Island. There is a very powerful something about fire fighters. These cats rush into burning buildings to save the lives of complete strangers. My training took place very close to New York City. The memorials to all the fallen from 9/11 were more stirring than I ever would have imagined.
I passed all my classes (at the top of the class!) and even more incredible, I passed my physical! Tomorrow at 0730 I have an appointment with the U.S. Coast Gurd at Battery Park in New York City to submit my application for my Merchant Mariner's Credentials (MMC). I hope I can in and out of there with no trouble. Apparently there is a ticker tape parade for some baseball guys. The parade starts in Battery Park.
Your my friend and mentor, and I'm damn proud to say it, you've got a shit load of skills, talent that can be rivaled by no one! when you go to sea i will be bored but i will be doing the things you taught me! you have alot of self worth! be very proud of yourself and your achievements, and your "Dropping's". you truly are inspiring your life may not have been what you wanted but you have left so many smiles and givin friendship and your knowledge with out asking for anything in return! your a great guy and i wish you all the best on your new path!
