I am an infantry Marine, but I know for a fact you wont be doing hand to hand at SOI. MCMAP is open to all Marines, you just need to find an instructor when you get to your first duty station.

No Sgt, the names don't ring a bell. But they were probably long before my time. I'm a brand new boot, so the Marines I know are mostly around my age/rank and from California

Make sure all your paperwork is squared away before you head down to the Depot and don't get too motarded in the DEP. Remember, boot camp is all mental. If you have any questions about what boot camp...

Well, Marines and Poolees, it's been almost two years since I came on this site asking questions about the Marine Corps, and in a matter of a few days, I'll be on those yellow footprints. Wish me...

I trust my recruiter to tell me the truth. He told me that most likely I would end up being Infantry in the event that I fail (which I don't plan on doing, but should be prepared for), but I wanted...

Thank you, Lance Corporal. I guess I better not fail then :P. I wanted to go in with an 03xx contract but there are none open for my ship date. I'm still hoping for an Infantry spot to open up so I...

My recruiter thinks he may be able to get me a recon contract (I believe it's called UZ, but I'm not too sure). I have a fairly high first class PFT and have gone and bought a recon prep course and...

A good friend of mine has posted on this forum in response to a question regarding pullups, but I thought I'd throw it out there for everyone to see. This is for those of you that are stuck between...

Good to go, thank you.

I am proud to say I have taken the first step towards earning the title of United States Marine. Can a moderator please change my profile from Marine Friend to Poolee/DEP? Thanks in advance, Marines.

I am currently enrolled in a 2-year college and plan to continue on to a 4-year college in time. If I chose to go with the officer route, would I have any say in my MOS?

What happens if you fail the Obstacle or Confidence courses? Of course, I don't plan on failing, and I don't think I will, but I'm just curious about the importance of these events compared to the...

Thank you all for your help. And Dave2571, your humor does not go unappreciated :P. I must admit that I don't know much about the old school Marine Corps, but I've heard some about it. Back in the...

Thank you for your help Sergeant, it's much appreciated. I'll talk to my recruiter about it.

Hey there Marines, I was just wondering if I could get some insight on the obstacle and confidence courses that one faces in boot camp. I am planning on enlisting soon, and I am in really good shape,...
