Sorry Sir, the Recruiters always say "pool function" in emails so I thought that was correct. I meant poolee function.

I'm not a poolee but at a pool function last summer we shot AR15's at the range. We used .223 rounds (obviously) and we shot like two ten round magazines each. People under 18 had to get parental...

Yes, out school is based off West Point, well just the uniforms and the campus, the cadets don't act like it. And it is a sash, senior NCO's wear it. Officers wear the sash with a gold belt.

Earlier this week was the first time I have seen my mom since school started so that is definately not why. I don't mean disrespect, I know what you are saying, it looks stupid. Like I said, I don't...

Yes sir, I agree. But the Cover is black with a gold cord around it so it does not look exactly like a real Drill Instructor's cover.

The Marine is upset about us wearing Campaign Covers (not pictured) because he was a Drill Instructor and he does not think we earned them, which I do not disagree with.

I know, I don't like it either, thats our school's fake uniform that nobody likes.

I am just curious about what Marines think about kids in JROTC wearing very similar uniforms to what real Marines wear. My school says it is not specific to any branch of the military but it is...

I was just watching "The Making of a Marine" and right at the end during graduation the guide(a Lance Corporal) looked like he had a couple rows of ribbons. I could have seen wrong(I probably am...

Yes it is, I don't remember what it is called but it is by PBS.

I don't know if this is right, and I don't know the answer to all the questions but at my school they play the first one when the flag is being taken down at the end of the day and we all salute.

Yes we can wear watches,rings,and necklaces as long as they aren't too big and flashy and stuff like that.

I understand, I apologize, I will change that today.

I go to St. Johns Northwestern Military Academy and we wear uniforms everyday so I need to know how to wear the uniform correctly.

According to Leatherneck Magazine the qualifications for 2nd class are:
"The second class water survival qualification is the highest level a recruit can obtain in boot camp. The qualification...

I apologize, I don't mean to sound cocky or anything, if that is what you mean. If I do I'm sorry. I just want to be a Marine more than anything and I have a lot of questions.

I just bought some boot bands and the way I put them on looks good usually but I know it isn't the right way. I can't find anywhere about HOW to wear them. Do they teach you in Boot Camp? Can anybody...

I don't know if this is something that you would want to do, I would think probably not, but my recruiter said that you can ask to go to Parris Island and he has sent people there before on their...

Yes people from Wisconsin go to San Diego. I am from Brown Deer and my recruiters said we go to San Diego because even though we are east of the Mississippi, that is where we go.

Thank you, I appreciate the relpys, my question is answered.

I was reading this months Leatherneck and it explained what recruits have to do in order to get the different swimming qualifications. I was wondering do you have to qualify every level lower to move...

I'm pretty sure it means Recruit Training Battalion. I could be wrong though.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but tomorrow I am leaving for Virginia to see the National Museum of the Marine corps and a tour of the Pentagon. I want to look nice when i go in...

So you think it is probably woth getting the promotion if I can?

I know there are many ways to get advanced promotions from boot camp and I was wondering from Marines that got that promotion is it really that big of a difference to be a PFC from Boot Camp instead...
