Hello all. I have recently referred one of my good friends into the DEP. He was very motivated and on track for the first month or so. Recently he has been hanging with the wrong crowd and has been experimenting with some drugs and has not been motivated at all. What should i do to get his ass on track and not doing the stupid crap hes doing. I've already told him he was being a dumbass and hes going to throw his future down the drain. Any advice on what to do? I would prefer not having to beat some sense in to him untill i try other stuff.

Thanks,
Drew

It doesn't sound good if he's lost his motivation. it's sounds like he may have changed his mind about joining and if he has changed his mind let him go. Because he's the 10% that D.Is talk that are in the FMF which we call sh*tbirds and besides if he does join he'd flunk the **** test and would be kicked out anyway. You stay motivated your friend seems to have no committment or loyalty.

Like my brother, JB said, there's not much you can do if he changed his mind about joining our beloved Corps. But if he is doing these illegal drugs like you said...he's crossed the line of no return. He can't come back from illegal cocaine or marijuana use!! He's lost his motivation, his honor and his integrity...if he ever had it!!! It's best to just let him be and not be around him or that kind of thing because if YOU associate with him...it's possible his words or actions could influence YOU in a negative manner, understand? Stay away from that wrong crowd...they're not for Marines...all they do is kill your motivation...!!! Keep your mind clear and right!!

Yes sir i already made it clear i wasn't going to be around that kind of bulls***. Ive distanced my self pretty well from them due to that they know im very anti-drug. Thanks for the advice. I'm not going to let any peice of trash "demotivate" me or bring me down.

Good, good...although your friend made the wrong decision in his life and probably fvcked it up for good...that doesn't mean you have to!!! Yeah you want your friend to go with you and stay the honorable path you've chosen in your life but if they don't have what it takes, then they don't have it...simple as that!! The better for EVERYBODY...him, you AND the Corps!! But, YOU have shown solid intregity and honesty here and PROVEN you have what it takes to become a part of our brotherhood!! Sounds like you passed a hurdle to me and deserve a pat on the back!! Congrats, my boy...!!!
