Interesting. Short, but to the point

You'll find out when and where you can you can wear your uniforms and regulations. for now, DON"T WORRY ABOUT IT!

It'd probably not be a good idea to get anything that has ANYthing to do with the Marine Corps before boot. First of all, you're not even a Marine yet, so it doesn't exactly hold any special meaning...

Also i have an understanding that you're not allowed to go to MSG (Marine Security Guard) if you have too many tats. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what i believe if you can see it in a PT...

As far as MCT goes, if you didn't have any problems doing the humps during Field Week and the Crucible, you'll have a nice relaxing time at MCT. You get better gear, get to dip (if you so choose...

Who were your drill instructers? I graduated 23 Sept 03 with Fox, Platoon 2007. My Drill Instructers were SDI SSgt. Ward, DI SSGT Matthews, and DI SSGT Brown. WELCOME TO THE BROTHERHOOD!

i'm in the reerves right now. it also depends on what your mos is and what kind of a unit you go into. in my unit, we do a lot of sitting around, inspections, a little driving (i'm motor t), and a...

the only thing that happens after lights out is the constant yelling at the firewatch for screwing up somehow. sometimes my DI would take a firewatch and make him bear crawl around the squad bay...

try being a motor vehicle operator. don't gotta be smart to drive a truck but you still get to be outside. A LOT. even as a reservist last weekend we went on a 10 mile off road night convoy. ...

make sure he can swim breast stroke, side stroke, and back stroke. as long as he can do that and tread water for a few mins he'll be fine and get at the least a swim qual 4. i don't remember any of...

not to prove you wrong Cpl, but there is some interservice training in Ft. Leonardwood. buddies of mine that were engineers (but still motor t) were in classes along side with Army privates. we...

it's not hard, you run 1 and a half miles to a certain point on the track and then turn around to run the 2nd half. by the end of boot it's more of a race and your racing for your platoon to win. ...

i'm not a mechanic. i break what you fix. i believe you'll be working on 7-tons and humvees. not quite sure. since your in forming, you could probably ask your NCOs what you'll be doing

you may or may not have the chance to deploy overseas. while the corps always needs willing Marines to ship out for 6-9 months, there will always be billets which need to filled at different bases. ...

gatormatt - from what i've heard, the size of the company does indeed matter. for example, my buddy who graduated delta company around january, had only a platoon of about 40-50 recuits. therefore,...

i just got out of boot camp about 6 months ago. we had our schedualed pt which was about 3 times a week. we did cadence run around the pt field, S&E runs (sprinting a short distance, then stopping...

thanks for the help, i didn't exactly want to try DI school or Recuiter school. i'm mostly interested in MSG Duty. i'm not sure how all that works
