FIDO

So I was Writing a letter to someone special explaining the acronym FIDO, and I decided to post on it being that it is a useful term that anyone can lead their life by. In fact I have used it to get through many a bad time in my life.
FIDO Simply means Fuck It, Drive On. To go into detail, when things are shitty, the chips are down, you've been dealt a bad hand, or when life is just plain miserable, you just keep going. When I was stuck in Mexico at 17 with no money, no clothes, and no friends worth a shit, FIDO! When I was in Marine Corps boot camp hating life, being harassed constantly, in pain, and feeling no hope at all, FIDO! When I was 10 miles in on a 20 Mile Hump, 60 pounds on my back, hung over, dehydrated, and wanting to quit, FIDO. In a Military holding cell freezing cold, with wet socks, no food for two days, facing more trouble and NCIS interrogations, FIDO! In a Norwalk jail cell after a drunken night out being pulled over for a DUI, FIDO! Facing the judge who tells me I have to pull $1500 out of my ass for my fine or spend 47 days in county Jail, FIDO!
I hear you right now,"It's not that easy, asshole!" I'm here to tell you, "yes it is, shitbag!" I'll break it down for you.

Fuck it: You have no control over the situation. You cannot do anything about it. What friggin good does it do to worry, you silly Shitbag?

Drive on: Are you really going to just give up you loser? Why? What good will that do you? Keep moving! Keep pushing! Whatever you do don't friggin stop! Like the country song says," If you're going through hell, keep on going.... You might get out before the devil even knows you're there."

So there it is, class is over, Fuck It Drive On!

FIDO works for me. Goes right up there with my book character, Abbie's philosophy, the one about Assholes and Idiots. Didn't we discuss this in class?

another corps dog sayin' semper fi. love the FIDO way of thinking. by the way nellie sounds like a bitch. if she's always like that i can see why you didn't respond to her letters. smack her in the eye for me would you. "i dare say" if she was standing here i'd do it myself.

semper fi and rock solid, HMM-265
