If you had graduated with your plt.? that would put you at the first week in Dec.? and the site i use shows the plt series in the 1098 category ? OR ? if it was thirteen weeks in 77-78 it would have put you in Jan.78 ?

Did you actually graduate from Recruit Training? If you did you should have gotten your cruise book from Recruit Training.

I am so sorry I didn't reply.....I meant too but got sidetracked! <br />
Yes....I broke my back in boot....had only two weeks left......was given the option of surgery, back then I'd been paralyzed...

So if your back was broken two weeks before graduation, I am assuming that you never received your EGA and therefore did not get to become a Marine. So your profile is also incorrect.
Sorry you had your back broken with only two weeks of training left to graduation. Good luck to you.

Sounds like a medical discharge, I don't think you get an "Honorable" or that type unless you finish recruit training. I could be wrong, but if you didn't finish then, well you were almost a Marine....

You are correct, what's my profile say????
guess I need to figure out how to change it if it says any different, I put my dates in correctly, I'll figure it out and correct any wrong issues!
however so......always wished I didn't get hurt ...id still be there! My dd214 states I've completed six yrs of service, all a rouge ...really ****ed off at the corpsman that wrote my papers,

It blocked the. Site you. Sent.....
Try it please without the WWW or the. Dot com.
Thank-you!
Somethings funny bout this. Never heard of Honorable Discharge vs Medical DC. Of course, I'm not the expert here. Let's ask a simple Q...did you ever take your platoon picture? If yes, check with...
