I am currently trying to get back in with an honorable discharge but a RE-3c code. I know it's tough but not impossible. I have been speaking with two prior service recruiters they seem to know each other eventhough they are three hours apart. Every time I speak with one they pass me off to the other. I have a friend who is a DI at P.I. she was out one night and ended up speaking with a CWO and MGYSGT in charge of prior service recruiting down there. She told them my story they both gave her their ...

People ask, where are the old school American men – the John Wayne, Roy Rogers, Clint Eastwood types. Does the rugged American man still exist: the guy that can cut through the wilderness, survive on skill alone, dress his own wounds, handle his own business, and has both a healthy respect for but yet fearless nonchalance for the death he knows he will eventually meet? Or have we all become the man we see in the sitcoms: wimpy, Frappuccino-drinking namby pambies that spend our days being assailed ...

I'm already in the Marine Corps Reserves and have recently been diagnosed with narcolepsy. It isn't severe enough that I fall asleep uncontrollably. It just causes daytime sleepiness for me and before being diagnosed I would often nap in the day even though I'd had a full nights sleep. I've been taking Ritalin (prescribed) and it helps to keep me feeling awake and alert. I just found out that I'm going to be deployed soon and I'm not sure if I should tell the doc that I have narcolepsy and ...

Would like to correspond with any one who went to P.I.And graduated with platoon 367.
I only remember one D.I
Lost my graduation book.
Believe it was 1967.

Lookin' to make contact with 'boot camp' buddies from Plt#131/1963/MCRD San Diego. AND.......with any of you old jarheads who were ever stationed at Lejeune between 1957 & 1987. According to VA communications, during those years Marines were exposed to contaminated water. I was there most of the time from late 1963 through 1965. Anybody know what the latest scuttlebutt is on this
serious issue?

This is marine69 and for some reason I have forgotten my platoon #. I was in from Sept.69 to Oct. 69 and discharged on a medical. I thought I was in platoon 1069 but can't find it any where for Parris Island. This would mean a lot to me to figure this out. I am trying to remember our Master Sargent.
Thanks if anyone can help.
