Or I could just take the stuff after it falls out of a seabag on the pallet that isn't packed like i said to. Either way.

And these are the people I bump to the very bottom of the space A list for flights...they never go anywhere.

School is about 6 weeks if I remember correctly at Camp Johnson (Lejeune). What unit are you looking into? B Co 4th LSB Savannah? or 4th AAB in Jacksonville? Didn't know Jacksonville had 81's...I...

Good rundown. I agree tact is big in the 0431 and 0481 fields. When that Major or Colonel messes up and blames you for making him miss his flight, you have to give him an answer and tell him how it...

Will usually get them issued when deployed with the basics (Name, blood type, unit), but usually any alterations shop can make them. Custom names, graphics, ranks, whatever you want on them. They...

Active duty is active duty. Bootcamp, MCT, MOS School, Vipers, etc...thats training. I have yet to "train" in ILOK save for Mojave Viper. I'm around active duty Marines/shops all day here i'm...

Lejeune.

You're recruiter must be jerking you around because being a reservist guarantees you that job, like locked in no BS thats your MOS, assuming you have a unit that supports that MOS near you. What you...

Any reasoning behind not waiting and going with your unit? Beyond just wanting to get in on the fight? Being a reservist myself and currently activated, I'm very glad i went with my unit instead of...

Once you get to your unit they will usually have an NCO there as an instructor. Sometimes its built into the training schedule for the drill weekend, other times its come to the unit on an "off"...

We had a guy come to 2 drills and then switch to active duty. Depends on your MOS and your unit really. Can take quite a long time like the GySgt said, or you might get lucky and get right in.

Charleston eh? My reserve station is in Charleston, has an LS platoon there (Activated right now)...1 Embarker in the whole unit.

I had to do some Embark stuff during my school (0481)....wow,...

I'm a Red Patcher 0481. Who says we can't go into the fight? We can easily get attached to units to deploy that have nothing to do with LS. And then they make them take the red patches off and...

Eugene Sledge will also be portrayed in this series. Should be a good watch. And maybe something a bit more personal then Band of Brothers. Looking forward to it myself.

Searched but didn't find any threads about it. Anyone seen the previews for this new mini series? Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks are back and making a "brother" of sorts to Band of Brothers. It...

Do they still use those POS flaks for BWT? Those that are stacked like to the roof of that barn/shed? Those sucked...

Most bootcamp gear sucked when i was there. Everything was falling apart. ...

Peanut Butter > Cheese....in most cases. Cheese just gets old after a while. I've seen a lot more Jalapeno Cheese AND Cheese with Bacon then normal cheese.

Of the current ones if i have to eat them i usually hit up the Beef Stew, Pot Roast with Veggies, Pork Rib, or the Chili Mac. Those tend to be the safest bet. It seems like they've up'd the amount...

Check at the reserve station you want to go to and see what jobs they have open. Might peak some intrests or something. You have 2 options of Landing Support, Charleston SC or Wilmington lol.

We had a guy at my Unit just make the switch. He had only been at 2-3 drills before too, so he basically switched in 3 months. All depends on your unit.

I had SSgt Cruces in 2007 when i went through. He was a Sgt at the time. Is SSgt Brake still there in H Co?

Best way is to just repeat them over and over. In bootcamp you will get ditties for them.

Example:
"Sir, E-3 in the Marine Corps is, Lance Corporal, he wears 1 stripe up crossed rifles in the...

Area code should be 843 for Parris Island.

So a deployment to Afghanistan would be like a trip home for you? Man...

Congrats.

I'm curious to who your DI's were, as I was a 2nd H Co graduate myself.
