<p>Well I ended up declining. I constantly think about calling them back and trying to convince them to take me.. but i just don't know. The damage is done. Maybe I made the worst mistake of my life, maybe not..</p>
<p>Alex - You'll do just fine where you're going. It doesn't sound like your heart and mind were made up. If it were, you'd haven taken your appointment. No worries. You sound successful and I wish you well in all you do! Don't beat yourself up about it. Good Luck & go get 'em out there in the big old world!</p>
<p>please.. nobody look at the coast guard academy attrition rates :D</p>
<p>I respect you're decision. Best of luck in the future......Go NAVY hehe</p>
