My wife and I both knew it was a big mistake and one I would regret. I set my mind to it, came back in and less than a year later made it through selection. LEStudent, don't worry about the age. You can do it. Set your mind to it, tighten your bootlaces and come on. You'll enjoy it.
Thank you for your encouragement. My wife has given me the green light to talk to an SF recruiter and see what happens from there, should I choose to do so. My focus ATM is debating on whether or not I'm fit enough to try out. I have shin splints, and my damned right big toe always feels like it needs to pop. It hurts like hell when I run, even short distances. I'm not overly worried about the pain, but it would be unfair to make the teams, only to find out that I can't pull my weight because of a problem I overlooked.
