This has got to be a joke. As dumb as it sounds scuzzing was one of the hardest things I had to do at boot camp. When you scuzz for hours on end and the windows are shut and bleach is being splashed...

I just recently graduated Intel school in Pensacola and have orders to Hawaii. :marine: Just wondering if anyone who has been stationed in Hawaii has any advice or insight on being stationed there....

Yes, we had M16A2's with collapsible stocks in boot camp and M16A4's in MCT. BTW collapsible stocks absolutely suck for drill.

Good evening,

I am a former leatherneck.com poolee. Thanks to all the Marines that help the poolees out on this site. I graduated March 5th, 2010. 3rd Battalion, Kilo Company, Platoon 3021. Oorah!...

Damn is that what you look like? I don't think thats what the Marine Corps means by lean and mean. LMAO Just messing with you bro. I figured since you put "haha" in your post you were trying to be a ...

I hate to tell you but the record number of pull ups done by a Marine is well over 100. In fact the depot pull up record is set at 131. The record was set by PFC Collin Bell.

You can accomplish...

Your goal isn't to much of a long shot. I mean look at the goals I set for myself. 100 pull ups and 150 crunches. Now thats a long shot. But its possible! Lol

:thumbup:

Yeah same here. I don't have that much time until I ship so I am focusing more on the three mile run rather than the mile and a half.

I definitely agree with you about setting goals before boot camp. By the way when we get out of boot camp we will be doing the PFT which has a 3 mile run rather than the mile and a half.

My...

My date was pushed backward, forward, then back a little again. So your date might get pushed forward. Never say never. LOL

Ask your recruiter whether or not you got a bonus.

I'm pretty sure having a five year contract does not mean you get a bonus. I have a five year Intel contract and I do not have a sign on bonus.

Thanks man. I use the phrase from that picture "There will be time to rest when your dead." as motivation when I do PT. And I like the picture a lot because I'm going to be wearing birth control...

My pull ups, crunches, and run time are better than yours. Haha! LOL I'm just messing with you!

But to be honest people bragging about their accomplishments should just push you to become better...

LOL. As was said earlier in this thread: Let's not get to technical. :nerd:
I agree with josh that the standards are the way they are due to the fact that the average joe needs to be able to pass...

Are you all being serious? We are suppose to be future brothers not future enemies. Each and everyone of us signed up to serve our country. Let's start acting like future brothers. Also, it looks...

I'm sure there is a point in boot camp where everybody wants to quit. I guess that's the point where the strong are separated from the weak.

I see you are going to be in boot camp around the same...

Actually, you can refuse to train and be dropped.

You have to remember not everyone that is in the DEP has been athletic their whole life. I'm sure the slackers will change after they hit the yellow foot prints though. :D

I joined for many reasons. I want to earn everything I get in life. When my life is near over I want to look back and know that I did everything I could to the best of my ability. I don't want to...

I agree with BruceLee. kdavis you are way out of line. You do not make all poolees look bad. You only make yourself look bad. You are an idiot for insulting Marines, especially on a website where...

I did not say that. Sounds like you need to pay more attention to detail.

And about your user name.. You are right it is "quite fitting". You are being rude. Also, it looks like you are trying to...

Explain yourself?

By the way, the irony between the post you made and your user name is a little funny.

I have noticed recently that some fellow poolee's on here have been giving bad advice and tips to other poolee's. I know that we are not perfect or Marines yet but before we try to help someone, we...

I will definitely start eating more lean protein and will also work on my IST scores.

My MOS should be Intel very soon. It is not guaranteed yet but I should be signing the paperwork within the...
