Ricky, Recruit Training is 3 months, not two.

However long you believe it is, I wish you good luck! Come home a Marine!

Hello, Poolee Ricky V

I did a little intel here.

http://www.marineparents.com/connections/

This a informitive site and should be shared with parents and family...: )

I found that a parris Island ship date 22 September 2008 Monday goes through Recruit Training and graduates 19 December 2008 Friday.

You should aqruire pay and leave while Training at MCRD Parris Island. There should be a one time uniform fee and some incidentals like SGLI etc. You should leave graduation with some pocket change for Leave.

Good Luck and God Speed in these Challenges ahead for the EGA.
