Anyhoo, I've got a couple questions for you Marines here.
1. Is there a way that someone could change my "title" from DEP/Poolee to "Nasty Candidate" or "Officer Candidate". From what I've heard, I'm lower than a Poolee.
Not that I know of on this website. I know you are being humble but you are not lower than a poolee, that is for sure. Officer Candidates make E-5 pay while Recruits are paid as E-1, while all Candidates have completed or are in the process of completing a bachelor's degree, and upon graduation will be commissioned Marine Officers, while new recruits become usually Privates or PFCs. I don't see how a Candidate can be lower than a Poolee.
2. This is more for the female Marines running around. Have you found an accurate size conversion for Belleville boots from men's to women's sizes. I want to start hiking in boots to get used to them before OCS.
Cant help ya there...
3. As you can tell by my location, I'm going to be heading to the UK very shortly. I want to keep my OSO and the Gunny in the loop on my PFTs. Do you think I could run PFT with Marines stationed there or could a Royal Marine officiate in their place?
Cheers Marines!
