Just checking in to see how my brothers are doing. I iist got back from CAX and it blows. God I hate 29 palms. Deploying to Afghanistan in 6 weeks so just trying to enjoy my time here in K-Bay. How's...

Thanks guys. Anyone mind telling me what Hawaii is like?

Just wanted to drop in and see how everyone is doing. I'm currently on Christmas leave right now and I'm in my last week of SOI. Turns out I'm headed over to 3/3 in Hawaii, hopefully one of you can...

Good afternoon fellow Marines,

Pardon me if this is in the wrong the spot, but I had a few questions about SOI [ITB to be more specific]. My recruiter isn't helping me out that well.

1. Do I...

MRP SUCKED!! 100% demotivation. All you do is lay in your rack all day and hear people ***** about wanting to go home. I was supposed to be released a week early to pick up with Echo Co but they were...

Thanks. and I got dropped for Pneumonia.

Also, I had a brain fart and typed Sgt Villa twice. The other DI was Sgt Soto

Pltn 3215
Indian Co

SDI Sgt Jones
DI Sgt Villa
DI Sgt Villa

It took me an extra month because I was in MRP but oh well lol.

I'll be glad to answer an Poolee's questions.

Dude do yourself a favor and get the 15 college credits. You CANNOT expect your recruiter to find an open GED slot. There's probably only a couple a year nationwide.

And like the others said, who...

Well Marines/fellow Poolee's, I don't need to type a long story of my life built up to this point. I'm just here to say good bye and that I won't be back until I earn The Title in 3 months. Thanks...

Congrats. Now go DEP in.

That's what I'm wondering. He made the same post in the Ask A Marine Forum also.

I find that running in water works wonders. Also running hills and steps works good too.

I'll be on the other side of the country next weekend. Wish ya guys the best of luck.

Only 12 days left...

You wont be removed from the DEP because you're 9 pounds over. If you weigh anymore than that, however, you'll probably be sent to PCP. If you ship to boot with that weight, you'll become a diet...

And if I were you I wouldn't ship open contract just to get an earlier date. From what I heard, you're most likely not going to get what you want.

I leave soon enough...June 15th.

That's awesome. This is why Memorial Day is one of my favorite holidays.

Good job Marine!

Hurry up with the pics

I had some bad shoulder problems a couple months ago. Every time I would lift something it was just a shooting pain in my shoulder. All I did was let it heal. I iced it occasionally when it hurt bad,...

I made my own pull-up bar outside. All I did was take a steel pipe from my garage, drill a whole in each side, then bolt it to 2 tree branches. I wrapped some tape around it and was good to go, it...

I had a girlfriend once. I told her I was going to the Marines after high school and she thought that was cool. I get about 3 months away from boot and she said that it was between the Marines and...

I go to San Diego a week later.

Just tell him that you have spoken to other poolees about it and their recruiter said they can't have a specific job unless they go Active Duty.

Yeah that's exactly why I stopped lifting and started running more. The only lifting I do is pull-ups and push-ups now.
