Good Evening Marines,
Have any Reserve Marines done any RA? I am not talking about on boot leave, but after you have been drilling for a while. I know my company had a Marine who did it for almost a year a while back (he only came to drill for PFT, Gas/Swim, and Rifle Range). He was on RA for a year, I am only looking to do a week. I am wondering about how anyone here may have liked the experience.
I am considering asking to do RA for a week to try to boost my cutting score (USMCR cutting scores are crazy for Cpl.). There is a recruiting office two blocks from where I live, and the Marine who recruited me is SNCOIC of a RSS 20 minutes from me. Additionally, I have plenty of military leave saved up from my Civilian job, so taking a week to do this isn't a problem.
Rah, and thanks in advance
