Semper Fi to all my fellow Marines. I found out a few weeks ago that I was receiving orders to Camp Smith, Hawaii. I had never even heard of Camp Smith. Are there any Marines out there that have...

ugly angel...if I ran into you in real life I'd tell you who my DIs were. CPL Rapoza, I can see your point of view although do you really think that a few paragraphs can explain 13 weeks? Some...

Jen Murray,
Thanks...soon you'll be there to and I can say the same to you. What kind of games did the DIs play...haha...um they had a lot of them tucked up their sleeve. Man lets see, they would...

Poolee Womack,

"enjoy the time you have before you leave for boot camp. Pretty soon, you'll be thinking, "what the hell have I gotten myself into?" But, thirteen weeks later, it'll all be well...

I know the feeling of anxiousness before you leave. The thing that will get you through recruit training is sounding off and being as loud and intense as you can. Move fast with a sense of urgency...

To all the Poolees out there or even if you are just considering the Marine Corps, I am fresh out of recruit training. Feel free to ask me any and every question you want to about basic and I'll try...

Aye FirstSgt. I do owe it to the next bunch of recruits planning to leave to give them the insight that I recieved. We did have some crazys in our platoon that tried to kill themselves or one girl...

JAMarine,
I can say "Fi Brother" to you...and you can say "Fi Sister" to me :D Glad to be apart of the Brother/Sisterhood! :marine:

JChristin,
I'll be sure not to order the steak ;) I'll be leaving in 3 days (April 20th)! I'm still not nervous but just excited...I probably have no idea what I'm getting myself into. Thanks...

kiddkilowatt,
The reason why everyone at MEPS makes you do all these strange things and they ask you the same question in 10 different ways is because they only know what you tell them. There have...

Are you talking about when you go to MEPS to get the physical done? They don't look in your mouth but they do require you to take a drug test and if you are a female a pregnancy test as well. You...

JChristian and Super Dave,
Thanks so much for giving me some insight! Super Dave, I hope some day I'll have the privilage of working with your daughter! I've been running 5 miles a day and I can...

Hi! I can relate to some of the anxious feelings...soon enough it'll be my time to head out...April 20th I'll have to say goodbye to my friends and family. But I can't freakin' wait to work my butt...

So, your saying that you get one of those certificates after you complete bootcamp and not when you sign the papers and swear into DEP? Just checking, because I haven't gotten one of those yet and I...

I was just curious...what is the meaning behind the scarlet cord on the covers of female Marines?
