I can tell you that the 2nd rescue attempt is a b*tch. No one passed the 2 times that i've tried...

You do what they want, when they want you to do it.

Do you have what it takes? Ask yourself that question and answer it yourself. Only you can truly know.

Look into NROTC if the university that you are attending has it. If it does not, then do the PLC program. PLC = no commitment during the school year (only summers) but you can always attend the...

So basically this program is some sort of thing to help people get into the Marines? I've never heard of anything like that.

That's the absolute minimum in each test you're talking about, right? OCC 205 selected average, from what I heard, was in the 290s, but you need at least a 1st class pft to apply.

Just stay motivated. Don't give up on it, even if you do not get selected to an OCC class there is always the next one to apply to. I've seen others apply multiple times and not get accepted until...

As josephd said, get your pft score high. If you want to be competitive, it has to be at least in the high 290s. Make sure you get some good recommendations from some respectable people. Since...

Continual nagging? It's facts buddy, don't get so uptight about it. You chose to list cannabis as one of your top 3 interests in life. Maybe you should get some common sense before listing that on...

Well if you have any hope in becoming a Marine, then you NEED to quit using the ganja. You will NOT be accepted if they find any trace of the drug in you. That means yes you do need to "stop...

One of your interests is cannabis and you want to be a Marine? Lay off the weed dude.

If you go the OCC route (for those who already have degrees) you commission right when/if you graduate from OCS. If you do PLC or NROTC you usually go the summer between your junior and senior...

Right now the reserves is hurting for new lieutenants, therefore it is a little easier to get an OCC-R slot than it is to get a regular OCC slot. It shouldn't be too late to switch to a reserve slot...

You have to apply for OCC-R directly (R means reserves).

If you go the regular PLC or OCC route then your commitment is at least 3.5 years on active duty.

If you do OCC-R you're only on active...

Well if anyone doubts me, message me and I'll give you my full name to look up on MOL.

No problem. Where to begin...

I did the PLC program, juniors in 07 and seniors in 09. Basically the first couple of weeks are inprocessing which at OCS means sitting around for a long time and...

Haha I wish, my report date is October 12 Alpha Company. TBS is super backed up now, I'm just glad I got a reasonable date not too far from when I was commissioned. Some lts have to wait over 8-9...

I can tell you that it does not look good for you. Especially considering the fact that you've already been to boot camp and the fact that you got dropped for a mental health issue (from the cases...

Endurance for running is different than endurance for crew, because you're using different muscles. It it were me, I would just keep on running.

I gave the 2005 Marine Corps silver dollar to my first salute. You can look into that.

A "test drive"? Is this a serious post?!

Semper Fidelis - Always Faithful. That means being faithful to the United States as well as brother Marines.

Why would you want to serve the interests of another country other than your own?

Just because you go to college doesn't mean you're automatically an officer. You are required to go to OCS if you don't go to the Naval Academy. There are bad officers and there are good ones, just...

haha. no not me, but a few Marines i know

is that another tattoo on the back of your right forearm?
