Any 1/8 Marines out there?

So I just found out that at the end of October, I will be checking in to the 1/8. I heard about our deployment schedule and I'm pretty excited. I don't think I'm allowed to discuss what I've heard so far on here, am I?

Anyways, if there are any 1/8 Marines out there that can offer some advice or give me some insight as to what I have to look forward to, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks
S/F

Thank you Cpl...I figured that I shouldn't be saying anything :) I'm lookin forward to finding out more personal opinion about the 1/8. I've already read up on their web page and it seems they've just returned from Iraq, or are returning shortly

:flag:....LUPO...check out 2/8/2 on the web...same/same/same...Doc...:flag:

I was with Bravo Co. 1/8 during the Fallujah push. Some of the BEST Marines I have served with. 8th Marines has a long legacy of GREAT Marines. You have big boots to fill. Go make you path and good luck!

I can't wait SSgt! I've heard they are pretty top notch.

Yeah I'm in 1/8. I actually have to cut my leave short so I pick up you guys from Geiger. I'll shoot you a pm with my phone number and name.

I find it ironic. 26 years ago we lost Marines in Lebanon and now new Marines join our unit on the same day.

Yup totally watched these guys running around like idiots this weekend from across the way...god I love my life.

Wasn't too long ago when you watched me get off the buses and reported to 1/8. I love my life too.

Lima 3/8 Here.

Was part of the Color guard to honor the 10th year anniversary at the Beirut memorial. Lots of Family there from the fallen Marines and Sailors.

Semper Fi.

Lupo send me a PM. You with A B C Wpns? I stay over in hp 105.

Finally met up with Lupo just now. No I didn't haze him, just talked for a good while. Pretty good Marine, mature as **** if you ask me. Great things coming from him I'm sure.

I appreciate the kind words LCpl! Pretty motivating to hear that actually. especially since I just got done goin door to door checkin uniforms lol

Two of my best friends PCS'd to my unit in Oki (and one is here with me in Germany) from 1/8.

Comm guys. They checked in RIGHT after the fallujah push... if anyone knows Sgt Sweeting, or Sgt Felix?

LCpl: thank you for the ride to the MCX the other day. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of someone offering to help out a boot from another company the first couple months that we're here. Thanks again! S/F
