My recruiter just called to tell me there was some sort of kerfuffle so my shipdate got moved back to September (he couldn't tell me the exact date), so I was looking at the graduation schedule for PI, trying to figure out some things when I noticed something weird.

OCT 17 3rd Bn Quebec & 4th Bn Oscar

but

NOV 07 Golf Co., 2nd RTBn., and Papa Co., 4th RTBn.

What does the "RTBn" thing mean?

I'm pretty sure it means Recruit Training Battalion. I could be wrong though.

You are not incorrect. RTBN = Recruit Training Battalion
1st, 2nd, 3rd are male. 4th is female. 4th only exists at Parris Island.
Marines from 2nd RTBN at Parris Island are the strongest, smartest, best looking and the finest warriors on the face of the Earth.

Good luck to you Parks...stay away from those Marines from 2nd RTBN. Find yourself a nice boy from church who has a good job and comes from a good family. :confused:
