Thank you Fury,
Sincerely man, thank you. It is too bad the board all doesn't know me in person. Aside from that, I am just a guy like others with my own misfortune and luck, too.
I instead turned it into something else, something heavier. I don't know why I failed twice, but I am not questioning it. I have the third. In the fitness world FAILING is a good thing. We call fail(ing) F.irst A.ttempt I.n L.earning.
I kept my mind and body strong, in the most insurmountable of odds and in a place where most men on this forum, maybe 3 percent have ever been and came out alive and used it for the good of himself and turned his entire life around. I ask for no handshakes or highfives. I am not angel. I am no saint. I am no devil or baphomet. I never gave up and never forgot about wanting to become a legionnaire. I didn't ask for she crap I was dealt. I never ask for different cards. I just dealt with the hand dealt and blamed no one and took responsibility and manned up and did every second of all my mistake day for day. I did a Legion contract ALREADY, just elsewhere. Nick and I became friends in both dark times. We had everything in common and looked out for one another. Starved together. froze together and even counted our pennies and nickels and dimes to pay for bills and crap food when we were both dirt poor. I have as good as chance as any. I am not special. I am not anything of a miracle.
What I know is that I held on and kept on. I kept fighting. I never transferred anything to anyone and I sucked it all up. Nick is a better friend then one could ask and or hope for. It's time this board knows a few things about a few things. I think SOME guys basically are legionnaires already, even if they actually never make it in.
But here I am still walking tall. Anyone can stop reading my tangent anytime, anytime!.
I don't mid if I tick some people off on here at times. I don't mind when I fail out during my working sets. Pause, take a breath and then finish. I don't care that I fall down sometimes. I get back up. I don't care that I have bad days. I have more good ones anyhow. Hell, I don't even mind openly admitting I committed a crime and went to the BIG BIG BIG Federal house penitentiary for a legion contract (time). But you know what, I did what I did to survive. I hurt no one. Robbed no one, harmed no one, assaulted no one, violated no one, ZERO. I did what I did to eat. I did what I did so I would make it. I don't justify it with survival. I just survived. I a don't regret it. I don't pray to no necro gods. I don't repent or hail mary. I am a good man and human with human flaws.
I never gave up. Here I am today, two failures later and gearing up for my third golden divine moment. As good a chance as any other man. SO there you have. Like it, dislike it. My determination never faltered and I sure as hell never fell down and stayed down. I fought every step of the way. Guess what, here I am. Cashing in on the golden ticket. Redeeming. Time takes time. Timing is everything. I have paid my dues, took my licks, healed my wounds, mended my heart. I am debt free. Thank you gentlemen for hearing what DCLXVI has to transmit. OUT.
