Incredible week (personal update)
What an incredible week I've had!
Wednesday I had the best fishing day of my life. First keeper 42"!
And many other large fish. Too many to count.
On sunday, as alot fo you know , I participated in the Run to Home base and was able to be on the field at fenway park. Cross one off of the bucket list for me.
and today my grades were officially announced for my first semester of college. ( I was really worried about going back to school)
Straight A's for a GPA of 4.0!!
I cant even beleive the luck I have had this week. What an awesome time.

Congrats, Greg! While I don't know you personally, I'd bet that luck had little to do with any of your accomplishments and it was all about hard work.  |

hey I have a 4.0 except mine is a BAC...
All kidding aside great job 4.0 is not luck but rather dedication.. Stick with buis management...minor in business ethics...there is a huge need for that. Also it opens alot of doors from management to marketinf to government affairs..to pr.....sky is the limit.

4.0 is not luck. That is hard work and perserverance. Congrats! Sounds like you have the fortitude and determination to do well no matter what is handed you. Way to go Greg! Luck has a lot to do with being prepared to receive good fortune. You seem like the type of Guy who prepares well.

What Branch are you in? My brother was on the field at Fenway that night also. He is in the Marine reserve fresh out of training. His unit has just deployed so he missed this deployment. He is upset, but we are not!
Great honor for some very lucky troops on the field at Fenway!
Thanks for your service.
