Sir,

You may or may not remember me.  I wrote you back a couple of months ago regarding me being a prior service Marine and getting back in.  Well sir you really helped me.  I took some serious though into going back in the Corps.  I talked it out with my wife and she is all for it.  So I talked to a recruiter and things are looking good.  I needed to retake the asvab so I did it the other day.  The first time I took it I got an AFQT of 53 that was back in '93.  This time I took it I got an AFQT of 79. That really pumps me up.  So I still need to get off some more weight and keep running.  But I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Thanks for the motivation, Sir.

Note: I did remember him and it makes me feel good that I provided some measure of motivation for him.
