Is there anyone who is shipping to MCRDSD on 20080714? I want to know if any one is counting down the same amount of days as I am. Also the job I signed for is Aircrew.

I definitely am not shipping,but I do have a question for you.

Q.) How did you get a screen name of Jungleman and you live in one of the deepest darkest frozen tundras of Alaska?

Just made it up one day when I was waiting to play a game at a local cyber lounge people started calling me Jungleman so it just stuck.

Goulash has been seared in as my nick name for my recruiters for a couple months now.

To date, the only person to ever pronunciate my name correctly is my mother.

Jungleman, if we won't be in the same platoon we'll end up in the same school in Milton, provided neither of us get recycled or dropped.

OT fun fact: If I leave 0714 and graduate 1010 as planned, that means I turn 18 and graduate boot on the same day. Now that's an occasion I won't forget.

Haha, I get my PFD (2,000) at the end of boot camp for the State of Alaska. I thought that the Aircrew School was in Pensacola.

Right now I'm set to ship 0721 but I'm trying to push it up to the 14th so I can go with two of my buddies. One is doing something with aviation and the other has been trying to get Infantry. I've got a UZ contract (yes I'm a recon wannabe). I'll be happy with Infantry though. I hope I can get my date moved up.

I don't think you can do a buddy program if you're already in contract. I tried to do the same thing with an aircrew hopeful that leaves a week before me and the office gunny told me there was no way because both of us had already DEPped.

Besides, according to my recruiters, buddy programs never work out. They are yet to have one with both recruits make it through boot, SOI/MCT and job school. One of them 9/10 wusses out.

how do you turn 18 on your boot grad date? I thought you had to be 18 before you shipped out? Is this different if youre reserves?

My Boot Camp Grad date is 20081003 and I dont turn 18 untill 20081211 and I am going in Active Duty. So, no you do not have to be 18 before you ship out.

Yeah but you'll be 18 by the time you hit the fleet. After boot you still have MCT and your MOS school.

That's true but I'll be freshly turned 18....I finish my MOS school at the end of December and I turn 18 at the begining of the month....I'll be a real, live youngin'
