My Old Pard 'GovtPacker' was an outfitter at Yosemite and a civilian contracter at Bridgeport. If a Marine didn't get efficient at packin and jerkin mules under the salty watch of that ole hand, they weren't coachable.

I was an Instructor at MCMWTC for 3 years.
I want to go Recon will this mean that i will go to Mountain Warfare school if i make it cause i think i have to but im not sure.
How about you worry about making it through boot camp first. Also, is this A question, SEVERAL questions, or A statement?Quote:

You really need to work on your grammar, spelling, and punctuation. That would help make your written communication less confusing to others.
I apologize about the way i said that. I should have asked, Do Recons go to Mountain Warfare School?Quote:

When I went to MWS in 1975, Recon people essentially ran the mountain warfare part -rappelling, rock climbing, etc. My unit had a Force Recon type as our personal instructor who was a certifiable nut-case. He was like a mountain goat and we loved him. Great ropes instructor.
Thank you. It all sounds like fun almost lol. I watched a show on the military channel on MWS. Ithink summer would be alright, but the winter seems a little cold.Quote:

And to keep your from answering a bunch of "If i make recon do we go do this?" questions. Your answer will 99% of the time be yes if it is dealing with a special school.
Yes i bet laying on the ice is very cold. I had a sergeant tell me one time while i was running with him, he said that the cold, it was all in my mind. I think it is.
The best thing Boot can teach a Marine is to place the mind in a state of "bullet proof" allow to absorb the uncomfortable and painful understanding that it is only a thing and it shall pass. You should learn to embrase this concept because it is the building block for most of your spec training ie MWF, JEST, E & E and Pow training all use this technique. Remember this later on when times are tough because again this too shall pass. Good Luck to you ttracker65
Thank you, its nice to be motivated by a older Marine every once and a while. I will remember your advice. Good luck to you to ;) .Quote:
