<p>Hi, you won’t have to deal with any stricter rules that you’d have to deal with in real life…the rules are just different. For example, you can’t leave campus unless you sign out or get a pass, and you must be back on time. Well, as a Marine, I can tell you that you are not allowed to travel more than about 150 miles in a weekend unless you get approval from your commander. At PCC there is a strict dress code. In the Marines, yup, dress code. At PCC you must show respect to teachers and staff. In the Marines we say Sir and Ma’am. At PCC touching between opposite sex (hand holding) is generally not allowed without a school chaperone. In the Marines, two service members of different rank are not even allowed to be friends (hang out after work). Officers and enlisted cannot date or be friends except under certain conditions. At PCC, you must turn out the lights and sleep at a certain time. In the Marines, there are also barracks curfews. And so, I could go on and on. In life there are rules to follow; it’s that simple. When I was at PCC, I didn’t follow them that much and I got a ton of demerits. Ultimately, they asked me to wait out a semester. ALL MY CREDITS TRANSFERED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF WEST FLORIDA, and I graduated in 2002. There may be good reasons to NOT go to PCC, but not wanting to follow simple (yet admittedly weird) rules is not a very good reason. Oh, and by the way, the Marines accepted me while at PCC into their officer program (requires a degree), so at least they recognized a degree from PCC. Ignore the haters, go to PCC, follow the weird and silly rules, and just have fun. </p>
