Yes Sergeant, they do.

Yes Sir.


I figured it was pretty early to start asking, but I just remember the D.I.s telling us the waiting list is long. So I want to get the ball rolling ASAP.

Oops, force of habit I guess. Thanks for the info though. So I'll have to wait till I get to my first duty station I take it?

Well, I was just curious if anyone knew how soon I can put my name on the waiting list for lasik? I'd like to get rid of these portholes ASAP. Actually and information on the subject would be great....

I graduated with him as well, except I was 1065. Dirty Delta baby! :marine:

Thank you all!

Well, anything you eat would get old if you ate it as much as you eat MREs when in the field. :p



I'm just meaning they aren't disgusting, and most of them taste pretty good.

I'd say, as far as one particular single event... the reaper hike. Now I'm not saying that because the crucible/reaper is supposed to be the hardest thing we do. I thought most of the crucible easier...

Well, first off... bootcamp is not as hard as they like to make it seem... and I know that wasn't always the case. But these days, with the type of society we live in... the biggest thing to remember...

I was lucky enough to get an 03XX after signing an open contract and waiting a couple weeks....

...at MEPS tuesday morning. Apparently, he wants to talk about my DUI & Furnishing Alchohol to a Minor, as well as a relatively recent vehicle repossesion. I'm KNOW they want to be sure they aren't...

I scored a shameful 61 on the ASVAB, but I'm on here looking for info... so its not only the smart ones using the internet. :p

Well, I've got 3 certificates to go shoot at the local gun shop. Figured I'd use them up. But if having to qaulify with a pistol isn't anything I'll have to do anytime soon, especially no it boot......

Thanks for the input. This gives me a better understanding. :thumbup:

Just curious about what the future may have in store for me. Believe me, getting as ready as I can for bootcamp is my priority right now.:thumbup:

ITB, is where I should be going... 03XX

Maybe a dumb question, but I honestly don't know... do they test you on pistols in bootcamp as well?


I've never fired a pistol, well besides a .22 which doesn't count because they have...

How long is SOI? And after SOI, I go to a battalion correct? Do I go to 29 Palms right away for Mojave Viper(think thats what its called) or is that determined by if your unit is getting deployed?

Okay.

Whoah... I'm not making fun of the Marines that do those jobs or making them seem as if they were a lesser standard, if anything I was poking fun at the job itself... I certainly wasn't talking ****....
