Welcome to the site, sir.

I weigh around 175 pounds at five feet nine and I, as well, cannot do a single pull up (since the IST at the last poolee function). Should I be focused on dropping weight or just increasing my...

You know, I could tell you when I come back from Parris Island, but I think one of the Marines here coudl tell you sooner.

Thanks for the advice guys I'm breaking in some shoes now. I put down probably a couple miles in 'em by now.

Nike Dart VI. Wish they didn't cost so much but mum wanted to get 'em for me.

I haven't been waiting half as long as you have (I'm going to assume you swore in long before 20090304), but I do feel that the following helps me (because I'm in college and my days were already...

I'm really comfortable in the boots (they're a year worn in and they feel like a part of me when I put them on), and I don't actually own any shorts that I can wear (too small to fit them now).

I believe it depends on the service, Jensen.

If I survive Boot, it will be the most worthwhile summer trip ever.

In reply to the original post, I was talking to one of my buddies who got back. Basically, there are wrong answers and there...

I've been working on my training in a gym and, for some reason, it doesn't have a pull up bar and I can't find one except in my high school gym (I don't think they'd let me in just because I wanna...

Oh, cool.

Thanks.

Co/Bn...are Company/Battalion, right?

It must be an arse-load of paper work to keep all of those groups straight...

Oh well, looks like I'm in the August 21th or August 28th day if I get out on...

If I were to become a Marine and finish my Reserve obligation, and then (before I get too old) got the idea in my head that I wanted to go back but as an active duty guy, is that possible?

If you can't get to a pull up bar, I also hear that one of those overhead pull down machines is a good substitute.

It's got ten essential vitamins and minerals!

I had assumed so.

I wasn't exactly expecting to be making Cordon Bleu (sp?), but I wasn't really expecting to be given a pot, a rifle, and a couple tomatos before being dumped on the reserve base...

Yeah, in case I fail at driving so much that I can't get my license before I ship, I'd like to ask about the position of cook. It's always good to expand your knowledge of one of your possible...

Jrny, please remember that everyone who is sent out to a combat zone fights.

Infantry may be the guys who go first and who are trained and drilled the hardest for fighting among normal MOSs (I'd...

No, but I got to tell the Sergeants and Staff Sergeant down at the Liason that Kim punched me in the gut to get me to go.

(Joke, because one of the Sergeants told her to do so. We all got a good...

Here's a little story for anyone worried about going to MEPS:

I was at MEPS on Wednesday of this week, because I had something to do on my scheduled day of Thursday. We had a small crowd, but I...

I'm sorry to bump this thread. I have a question.

I recently became a Poolee and I would like to know if there is a way to edit my registration status or if I have to ask an admin about that.

This is probably a silly question, but I have trouble getting a good shave without going over the same spot like ten times and giving myself razor burn from hell (no cream).

There are so many...
