Seeing a similar trend here in North Carolina as well.

Another thing I see bothering the recruiters, is females. For every month they have to recruit X amount of females per the amout of males...

Of course you mean next September, correct? I'm leaving this coming Tuesday.

LOL. That does sound familiar! Best of luck to you! Are you MCRD Parris Island or San Diego?

Parris Island.

Well, I wasn't scheduled to ship until September 8th, now its looking like its going to be this coming Monday. My GySgt gave me a call Wednesday evening and asked what are the chances I could ship...

I'm still scheduled to leave on September 8th. Hope that doesn't change. I quit my job, and I'm about to sell my jeep lol.

Thats outstanding bro! Dedication will take you a long way, keep it up. I found when I lost my weight, muscle was alot easier to put on. My bench shot up 100 lbs in 10 months. Make sure to keep it...

The reasoning your weight loss has slowed down is because that was all water weight. Now you've got to start shedding fat. I lost 30 lbs between 9th and 10th grade 3 years ago, all by running a ****...

Ours is once a month mandatory. We don't really do anything like others have mentioned. Just the basic stuff thats free lol. IST once every 3 months or so. We had the state poolee functions twice. We...

Couldn't have said it better. Thanks for the post Sgt Leprechaun.

I love my country, but yet I fear for it as it slips on a downward slope into obesity and stupidity. Laziness is in, and...

Excellent video. Very motivating bro.

lmfao that had me cracking up. I find it absolutely hysterical when people contradict themselves the way they do.

"We all have rights to free speech"

"The Marines don't deserve that right" ...

Your first decision is usually the right one. Don't second guess yourself; support your decision. Like others have said above, 4 years is a long time. I think you made the best choice for yourself in...

I agree JWG. Quotes always seem better in Latin to me, maybe in part because they are shorter than their English counterparts. "Si vis pacem, para bellum" - If you want peace, prepare for war.

Congratulations and welcome back MARINE!

Thats a tough question for me I suppose. I'm looking forwards to graduation and getting my EGA of course, but if I have to choose one thing. I'd say the crucible.

Here are a few of my favorites:

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the...

September 8th, 2009 PI
Trying to leave sooner though.

Yeah, its absolutely mind-blowing. I work in a grocery store, so we have hundreds of people in and out every day. I've talked to numerous guys from every branch, and they all have some great stories...

Well, throughout high school, I haven't put forth a whole lot of effort. I mean I did with sports teams and in my AP government and politics class, because I was interested and had the motivation to...

Good evening fellow DEPers,

Today we had the state wide poolee function. It was fun and motivating. Got pretty sunburned though haha.

Congratulations Marines!!! Have fun with your family and friends while your on leave!

I'm slated to be in 3rd Bn, Lima Co when I leave in September. What were your favorite and least favorite...

Not at all. It's astounding that his pack/stuff in the pack stopped a 7.62 round. Either way, its gotta be a bad ass pack.

Holy hell! Agreed!
