You’re Welcome, if you ever want to talk or just vent let me know. I always felt that sometimes it’s through the tension and discomfort that we grow.. which is why change is so uncomfortable in some respects. *shrug* If you never push yourself outside of your comfort zone, change can never occur because you’ll continue to do what you’ve always done. If that makes sense. I kinda just leaped head first into it. P.S. During formation tonight doing those dreaded counts my Platoon Sergeant said “Where’s stutters?” to which I came running and was pulled aside and spoke to a Gunnery Sergeant who has been in the USMC for 15 years with a stutter. Who’s learned to work with it and around it, and was counseling/mentoring me. It was cool seeing someone where I hope to be in a number of years. You never know.
