I am a PFC about to be promoted to LCPL and I am being deployed this month supposedly for 8 months. I was wondering how much money I could possibly come back with and what extra pays are given.

Hmmmm. Seems like I'm in the same boat.LOL. I guess I'll find out.

One more question before I go. If you arent infantry, do you get leave before MOS school? I've heard that you do and I heard that you dont.

Awesome, thanks.

Can someone give me a few tips for MCT and tell me a few things about it? I leave in like two hours. Me and a few others that I graduated with are confused about what cover to wear to check in to...

When checking in to MCT, are we supposed to wear the barracks cover or the **** cover?

I graduated from PI on the 15th and didn't fully appreciate being a Marine until I talked to my buddy that just graduated from Army bootcamp. He was telling me about how they did a 1 mile hump and...

Those are all good points, thanks. Just today I had a guy say "oorah, devildog" to me. He didnt have to know if I was a reservist or not, he just reconized my nice clothes and a fresh high and tight.

Are reservists considered civilians until they are drilling? Im asking reservist questions because im a reservist and havent started drilling yet and in bootcamp the other recruits made fun.lol

Do any of you Marines think of weekend warriors as inferior or any less of a Marine? At bootcamp the Marines didnt sound like they liked reservists too much and when I went to visit my reserve...

I am on boot leave, I graduated from PI on the 15th. So if I do get in that slot do I get the same benefits and pay as active? I am really confused on what to do.

I am currently enlisted as a reservist, but I was told I could go active if I want. I was thinking of doing that, but I also heard about active reserves. Can somebody explain active reserves to me??

Is MCT less stressful because you are a Marine or is it basically the same as bootcamp? It kind of sounds like fun.

Thanks, that makes me feel better, sorta. My MOS is amphibious assault vehicle crewman, 1833. Right now I'm just worried about getting to MCT and how to act and what to expect.

I just graduated from PI on the 15 and was wondering if anyone can give me tips. For instance, I was made fun of for saying sir and mam to other enlisted marines as soon as I graduated. Anything else...
