I don't remember boot camp

I don't think it will hurt you at all but it won't give you a "leg up" at all. Those types of MOS fields are based on your potential(ASVAB score) not on what you already know. Whatever the Corps/DOD...

Just wear it, if you know you rate it. No one at this point is going to question it especially considering it's a unit award not a personal. I understand you wanting it to be legitimate but the...

congrats on being a 4yr boot!

All I will say is this....

Enlisting in the reserves or active duty IS NOT a stepping stone to becoming an officer. If commissioning as an office is your ultimate goal, then get into and/or stay...

I meant Financial Management Marine not Female when I wrote FM.

To answer your first question....No, the tuition assistance available to you once you are a Marine and the GI Bill will not cover past debts or student loans.

For your second question....Yes you...

you'll sit in the armory, which is a small brick building surrounded by fence and wire all day checking weapons in and out. you'll have to be there early before the rest of the marines get there and...

I can't speak from personal experience at ITB because I was never in it but I will say that it is much more physically demanding. Instead of regular PT, you are humping/hiking everywhere with weapons...

Are you willing to drive to Quantico or Lejeune? You'd probably have to bring it up with your chain but I don't see any reason why they couldn't get you on a swim qual that is already going somewhere...

finish school first!...if after that point you still want to join then you can

the reserves takes up more of your time than you think and I can guarantee your school career/grades will suffer

If that is what you want you will probably get it, so many others want to go to machine gunner or some sort of heavy weapons so if you're the one that wants to stick with being a basic...

6'2" 180lbs is not pretty big, you probably have a lot of body fat. At that size you should be putting up more weight and have better numbers than what you posted. Which again leads me to the...

If you don't have a car, get one. And be sure it gets good gas mileage because when you get secured for libo you will want to get the hell out of there. L.A. and San Diego are both only a few hours...

You have to go on a deployment, AR, or some sort of active duty orders for a year or more.

stitch *****!

But seriously I don't have any first hand experience with the MOS but I know a few riggers, they are used everywhere in the Corps and seem pretty important. I think you get to stay...

Only thing I can tell you that being a Marine is the most miserable yet satisfying and rewarding thing you'll ever do

the tattoos would only need a simple waiver for enlisting. tattoos, especially visible ones, are a whole different ball game if you are seeking a commission as an officer. they are pretty much a...

Yes you are correct with every question/statement you made

I just don't think its gonna help his case at all and I think some eyebrows might get raised when they see you(his spouse) trying to enlist also. Just sounds kinda fishy to me.

Not entirely true....I am not sure what the cut off date was but if you enlisted after a particular date in the last few years you are no longer eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill. If you are...

No....and to be completely honest I would think this "dual enlistment" may hinder him even more, this is just my opinion.

^this!!!!

I picked up meritorious Cpl. in January, was already a fireteam leader. Now as a Cpl. 4 months later I am filling a squad leader billet, platoon scribe, and platoon guide type of billet....

LOL!!......we'll see how you feel once you hit the fleet and you are still a LCpl. 3 years later

you hate needles you say?...wait until you have to get the small pox vaccine...whole loads of fun!
