I just graduated from MCRD-SD May 9th, so yes I'm a fresh new boot, but at the same time I feel I know what I'm talking about. This is to all you poolees who think you're going to go there and try to skate by and dick off or not give 100% effort 100% of the time.... don't join. I don't want you next to me... and I can tell you [based off of what my DI's said] the Marine Corps doesn't want you either. I had a serious problem with this in my platoon and I'm assuming that it's become a more serious problem in recruit training recently. So I beg those of you half-assers, please don't join for the sake of the Marine Corps.
To all of you poolees who intend to give it your all, make sure you stick to that principal. At the same time, while you are in boot camp it is VERY important to never forget WHY you are there, and what you are there to do. During your square away time, reflect on the reasons you joined. It will make a difference in your attitude each day and your Drill Instructors will see that. Don't be the one to have been given the title. Earn it.
