Just turned 24 and about to DEP. All these aching joints and gray hair, I don't know what to do with myself...

As someone who is about to graduate from grad school, enlist in the Marine Corps Reserves, and then go looking for a job in the civilian sector after the completion of training/schooling (provided...

I didn't know that time in DEP counted against your time in service. Is that true?

The Post 9/11 GI Bill is for any veteran (regardless of branch of service) who served on or after September 11, 2001, from my understanding.

I don't know about while on active duty, but if/when you leave the Marine Corps, the new G.I. Bill is pretty loaded with educational benefits. Of course, I can't relay any firsthand info because I'm...

Don't let it get you down. My father's reaction wasn't similar to your dad's, but my mom's was. Mothers (like mine from non-military families) usually assume the worst when it comes to a child...

I've seen bits and pieces of it from time to time on the Military Channel, so after I got Tivo, I recorded it. It's broken down into three chapters, or "phases," to differentiate between the phases...

Yes sir, Carlisle churns out good people. My roommate last year was from Carlisle.

I appreciate all the replies. I'm from Arkansas, so I'll probably wind up at San Diego. I can see that both...

Hello everyone. Thanks to all of the Marines on here for your service and sacrifices, and I hope to be joining your ranks soon (if I have what it takes in boot of course). I have kind of an...

How long are the runs at Boot camp, and how often are they? I run about 3 miles a day, but just wanted to know if they progressed the PT or just started you out going hard. Thanks for any info.

"Doc, I knew everything was going to be OK when I saw you come through the smoke"...Wow, now that's probably the greatest compliment that I've ever heard of.

I'm in the process of enlisting as...
