1833 is pretty much a grunt field now in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I hope so.

Hey boy, you gots the same ship-sate as Powell and I. Too bad you're going P.I. though. Oh well we've got 3 or 4 guys leaving that dame day anyway.

Semper Fi Santa!

At first I thought it was a reporter or something. Spine-chilling more than any horror flick I've seen.

I think some one should put together a montage with films of the troops...

YO, update your profile, if you gots a shipdate, you're not just a Marine Friends no more. Thought you should know.

That Island has no place in The Marine Corps. Unless of course you mean the island where it's double PT everyday, beach-storming drills every week, and live-fire non weather cancelling urban warfare...

I just found that I'm gonna be in Alpha in SD, any word on how hard they are?

well yeah, he was, after all, a 'petty' officer lol.

I have met this guy who used to be a squid and of course when he heard I enlisted into the Corps, he decided to start pulling out all the stops. The 'Howard Yarch' thing, the Gomer Pyle thing, and I...

Hey, I've finally got my MOS...sorta, I'm in under Charlie Echo, that's either 18** or 08**. That is right, right SSgt?

Darrin man, you've got some work to do (like they said) on your run time, even mine right nows getting closer and closer to 10 min. (It was 10:24 just this Sat.) In order to get reasy quicker, I...

Oh well good luck anyway brother.

I just put in for my MOS request, waiting for Thur. to see what I got.

Here's a homemade one for you all. Written by yours truly. It's not so great as some on here I know but I tried.

With the flash of an explosion of charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur, the life I...

I did a FUBAR, today is the Ninth, not Eighth.

Oh hey, I got mine, as of Oct. 8th I have 251 Days, or 8 months and 1 Week or just over 35 weeks of freedom left.

Some days I hate the voice of reason...but not now.

I didn't say I wasn't. And I don't think you've got much room to talk dude.
And that other part is true too.

MOS right now---unknown
Ship date 20080616
Anyone know the countdown for that?

To what the corporal said, they never do talk about the people that don't make it. But as a PFC told me once, Basic is a mind...well y'know. So while it certainly helps to be in top physcal shape,...

*singin (probably off-key)* You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, known when to walk away

Ok, here's the deal. I'm going in as an enlisted man but If I am to make a career of this I was hoping to chase down a commission after I hit NCO. would an ROTC program put me on reserve or what? I...

Good news, I talked to the gunny and he said they've already taken SSgt Gilmore off his antibiotics and he should be back in action as soon as...today. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts.

*edit of OP* it was 14 staples not stictches.
Thank you all for your thoughts and well-wishes. I'll keep you all posted on his condition.
