Niko,
So apparently we are from the same RS! I know I've seen kevlar in the office in the last couple of weeks, maybe SSgt Drummond (or whose ever it is) would let you borrow it.

Interesting. Thanks for finding that! I'm guessing it was as simple as doing a search on google? If it was, I kind of feel dumb for asking!

I was at a pool function a couple weeks ago, and our SNCOIC brought up an interesting point on one of our moto runs. What is a 'layo'? (not sure if that is the correct spelling) Every cadence seems...

I was wondering if there are any poolies from Baltimore on this site? I will be staying in the Inner Harbor area for a conference next week Wednesday to Saturday, and I was hoping to get a good...

I couldn't agree with you more! For the most part the people from my office are motivated, but there are a distinct few who could care less. At least that's how it seems. There is one person who...

AD is active duty

I don't think anyone on here is of the opinion that PT isn't good, we just have enough self motivation to do it on our own! The one thing I do wish we did is drill; I did some basic drill movements...

Holy sh*t! Either your recruiters have no family life, or the poolies of the past have sucked! That's insane to make PT 4 days a week mandatory. Maybe it's because I'm 23 and live an hour and a half...

I'm gonna have to back alphasquirrel up on this one. I have short arms, so I end up doing something right between a crunch and a sit up. But, yes, rounding the back does help a lot. I used to do...

The reason I was told that women do the FAH instead of pull ups is because we are built differently. Which I agree with, to an extent. I'm glad I have to do the FAH, because my pull ups suck! There...

Yeah, the whole job thing is a bit confusing to me too. I know that the fiscal year starts in October. It seems that the jobs for the new year start coming out in May and continue to trickle in...

Andrew - in your signature it says your mos is 6324, but in a previous post you said you don't have it in writing. So is your signature just what you're hoping you get? You also ship in November, and...

The best way to improve crunches, is to just do them! The crunches that we do aren't really crunches or sit ups, they don't actually work a lot of your abs. They target your lower abs and hip...

Thank you for all of your responses! My mom took the news much better than I expected, after just one day she was 110% supportive and interested in what I have to do to prepare. I think my step dad...

The shin splints are a work in progress and they will be gone by the time I leave for boot camp! They are my number 1 priority right now.

Thank you all for your responses, they are much...

So, here's a my situation...
I am joining the Marines (Intelligence), one of my step-sisters is joining the Air Force (Avionics), and the other step-sister is joining the Navy (Corpsman). It just so...

By strengthening the weak muscles in my foot that cause the over pronation, I will ultimately decrease pronation, therefore decrease my shin splints. I do know that my shin splints are caused by...

This is a very interesting website that shows the kinetic differences between barefoot and shod running.
From what I have found about the POSE...

Thank you all for the input. I know that they would not be allowed for anything other than personal PT time, which is why I'm a bit hesitant to use them. I do run on my own 4 times a week now, and...

I know I wouldn't be able to wear them for PT or at boot camp, which is why I am hesitant on trying them. I do have 8 months until I leave, so I thought it might be worth it to build up my foot...

I've been doing a little research into barefoot running lately, and am thinking about trying out the vibram 5 fingers (http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/) since I don't live someplace that I can...

**disclaimer, I was applying for the officer program before I was DQ'ed for my tattoo and chose to come to the good side and enlist, so most of the stuff I have is from the officer side. They give...

I just want to make sure I am reading things correctly. I know that I have to take the DLAB for both 02 and 26, but the only specific MOSs that requires I PASS it are 267x? I would have the chance...

Thank you both for your replies. Exactly what I was looking for!

I think I have a good idea about the differences of the two, but i just want to verify with current or previous Marines who have more insight.
The only qualifications for 02, besides the main stuff...
