I went back and looked at my records and I got the ticket in mid-February, the fine was due at the end of March. I received a letter from collection agency by the end of April! I know it was my...

The funny thing is I already got a new license here in my new state, but I still feel like I am getting screwed big time. Plus I don't want "wage garnishments." I appreciate all your advice and I...

I am getting the big weenie from the California government right now, and I need some advice. In March, I got a ticket for using my cell phone in my car. The fine was 160...

I see. That's still pretty cool though. Hope you are a good swimmer!!

Didn't know you could have a Recon MOS before getting to the fleet? :confused:

Worried that your family will think you are wasting your degree? Why not apply for OCS? Who cares what your family thinks. If it's your goal to be a Marine, only you can make that decision. Your...

We normally didn't take tripods or monopods to the field. It's not very often we would be shooting a completely static subject. Also, the cameras we use aren't the kind that use Duracells, haha. ...

Well if you have money, go Canon. Those are some great cameras and lenses and they only keep getting better. More importantly than the body though is the lense. Spend money on good lenses. The L...

I still have my dog tags I wore to Iraq and I wear them whenever I feel I need good luck!

He definitely knows I am a former Marine. I am just going to have to do a lot of research and get myself in somehow. If I have till 31, then that will give me enough time to have tats removed....

Yeah I was shocked when the OSO told me that I was too old. He basically said with my tattoos and age, don't bother. But I am gonna call another OSO and get up to a 300 PFT and see what happens. I...

Thanks Marines.
