That is f***ing motivating!

Happy Birthday Yellowwing

hurts like hell gettin it out, too! :evilgrin:

Roxie, just try your best to relax and enjoy the rest of the time you have at home with friends and family. Good luck!

My personal opinion is that it is your life and your decision. Your dad has every right to throw in his 2-cents on what he thinks would be most beneficial to you, but you need to make the decision...

Pneumonia sucks in training! I ended up getting dropped because of it the day before 2nd phase began. It sucks when you get dropped because you always know you should be X amount of time ahead of...

Agreed. If no one else objects, Accord, would you mind posting your citation on here when you get it?

Yes that would be it.

Congratulations Accord, you deserve it!

SSgt Ramsey, I know exactly what you mean. When I picked up Corporal, one of my Sergeants was on leave. When he got back and noticed that he'd missed my promotion, he pulled me aside so he could have...

Also just FYI, if you want to post in these boards, you need to fill out your profile more; otherwise your thread could get deleted.

From what I've heard, EOD is ALWAYS looking for people and I think it's one of the critical MOS's (short on personnel). But I'm not in that field so from my perspective it's all just hearsay.

Wow, there's something I never thought I'd learn :p

Highly doubt it's gonna go away. There's always scuttlebutt about MCRD changing and such. When I graduated it was widely believed that we were the last company to ever hump the Reaper because...

I have to agree with Gunny on the family topic. I had a number of buddies in MCT and MOS schools who wanted to do everything the instructors said we could not (no family and no cars being the top two...

Keep up the good work! When I was a poolee I was also a fat body and was a diet-recruit all the way through Recruit Training. I started out barely being able to run 2 miles before getting dizzy and...

Accord, job well done! I will be passing word along to all of my unit (from MCAS New River and Camp Lejeune, currently in Afghanistan and Iraq) to pray for the safe and speedy recovery of all those...

I gotta tell ya bro, I was in somewhat of the same boat as you. When I told my parents that I had enlisted they were ****ed (partly because I had tricked them into signing the papers since I was only...

All depends on the needs of the Marine Corps my friend.

Big Jim, at the risk out sounding young and naive I'll just say it; I never even considered any other B-billet other than Drill Instructor, Recruiter, or MSG. I've always been told that these three...

While I'd love to do either one of those, I'm not able to ATM. I can't be a Drill Instructor because I'm only a Corporal, and for Embassy Duty I would not be able to bring my spouse along with me (as...

I was gonna omit that part for his benefit; I know a lot of people who freak themselves out when they have that to think about for any time prior to spreading them :p

Chocolate milk was nothing; I felt sorry for the platoon with the guy trying to sneak ice cream. I was unfortunate enough during a day at medical to be at chow with another recruit from my platoon;...

Not sure, I never had a sports physical. But basically they check on everything; blood tests, hearing, sight, they have you do the duck walk, stuff like that. It's been a while and I can't remember...

You go through a medical examination up at MEPS. And then many more in your career after that if/when you earn the title.
