That is very impressive man. The most I had to lose was 45lbs. I can't imagine what dedication it must take, to stay motivated so long. Let alone to start that uphill battle in the first place. I...

It's the same thing I described basically in my message. Lie on your back, with your toes pointed to the sky, have someone pull your feet away from your head (as if trying to point your toes away...

Every one on here is giving you solid advice. When icing the area, elevate it. Also, some ibuprofen. It's not just for pain, it reduces swelling (which may not be highly visible) and helps healing,...

An alternative version goes like this:
...how'd you get to Baghdad in just one day?
And I replied with a whole lotta anger
Blood and guts and a little bit o' danger

I can run ta baghdad, like THIS!
All the way to Baghdad, like THIS!

Taken out of a favorite of mine.

Yeah man. I have been having the sh**iest day, made it a little easier to get through my day at this menial place. Truer words were never spoken!

Well it's a patriotic duty, in my mind, like protecting your family. Has to be done sometimes.doing it yourself is taking initiative and showing love and respect for your country. You always have the...

Here's a quote America seems to not understand 'if not me, who? If not now, when?' Most are too lazy to take real initiative in their own lives, so taking initiative for the country is so far beyond...

Yep, check your DEP book. On the second page it says 'You are required to maintain weekly contact with your recruiter. You're also required to attend scheduled meetings with your recruiter and other...

Oh is it because you're a Moderator or are some given special permission? Thanks for the history!

That PBS documentary is awesome! Never saw it before, but it's definitely moto! The most motivating video, for me, is my bro's graduation video. It was motivational and educational on Boot.

Well Marines can't post in this forum for a reason, because its meant to be a place for poolees to discuss with other poolees whatever they want that's Corps related. So the reality check you're...

I think you'll be spending more time in the rainroom than you want to once you are there! Haha!

Books is right. As a sidenote, E3 is virtually unheard of by most. I asked my brother, he said he didn't know of any. I checked the Beaufort newspapers announcing the graduates. For his graduation,...

A common speaking slang is to say it more like gun-ree sar'nt. Its shorter, flows better, and acceptable. Lots of Marines I know say sergeant like that, especially with First Sergeants. Also, I would...

I have to agree with medical and wet feet. Medical cause I hate doctors and hospitals, they. Always are around during sh**** times. Wet feet means trench foot and blisters and all sorts of nasty....

It is allowed, either way isacceptable. HOWEVER, it is advisable to train palms away. In obstacle courses you will have to lift yourself up and over a pullup bar. Try lifting yourself over a pullup...

MOS- Avionics at first (trying for that, then an EMOS for Linguist)

ASVAB: 96, line scores all over 130 if I remember correctly.

It is pretty significant that these thoughts happened while trying to sleep. I often think about my life before sleep and get worried, going over all the bad things that could happen if I am wrong....

I agree with what has been said, at least from my own family values. Girlfriends come and go, but family and the Corps are forever a part of your life once they're involved. I know I would still be...

I am still waiting on the October lists to contract a specific MOS. I've passed everything else and I have the ASVAB scores required to do any job I want. In your experience which MOS group tends to...

I'm looking forward to the sandpits. My brother said he got to do a nice scenic tour of the island with his D.I. stopping at every sandpit along the way for refreshing pushups. Hahaha, but seriously...

Not to be offensive...but I have no idea WHEN the DI says "Dismissed", so no that really didn't answer my question to be honest. I'm asking in order to plan something, and I asked him what day he...

Yes, just for clarification: Did you leave the same day you graduated? If not, how long after graduation are you required to stay at PI?
