Yeah your 22, grow up a little. I went through when I was 22 also. And me being one of the oldest in my platoon is what I was more worried about. The **** bags will get taken care of without your...

I actually didn't know they would know that kind of stuff. I thought no one knew until a couple of weeks before graduation. How would I go about getting in touch with my retention specialist?

Well after reaccuring injuries, I was told to take another MOS or leave the Marine Corps. Well here I am in Oklahoma in Field Artillery Radar Operator school. My main question is does anyone know if...

Excuse me Corporal but what are some examples of doors it could close?

Thanks

Parris Island was all flat. There is some sand. Thats about it.

Unless you get sick from sand, concrete, mud, and loud noises you should be fine. There is not much spinning in boot camp. But if I were you, I would not mention that you get sick from spinning. It...
