Things to be afraid of.

Rooms with three Colonels and three Majors in them.

I headed downtown to take my PFT this morning, and when I walk into the office there are a dozen or so Marines, including the above.  I just about crapped my pants.

One of the Colonels rowed against my coach in college, so he grilled me for a couple minutes about it.  It was an all new level of awkward.

Anyway, beautiful day out, PFT went OK, and I made it through a room of people who have more years in the Corps than I have alive, so I think it's a good day.

Back when I was in boot (lol 13 weeks) I was in sick call for my knee injury, just waiting to see the doc. I look down the hall and here comes Brig. General Salinas, followed by what seemed like an endless group of every brass in existence, Lts, Captains, Majors, Lt Colonels and Colonels. One Colonel walked up to me and asked how I was doing. I was scared ****less of doing something wrong in front of all the officers.

Here is a rule, an un-written rule of the Corps.  If it has gold on it's collar, it's an asshat.  221 is not bad at all for your first of many PFT's.
