My Battalion went there for the end of the summer package from October-November. Sun beat down on you hard at that altitude and it gets ****ing cold. First morning there it was -5. You get winded...

SAW Gunner is an 0311. Assualtman are 0351. Fireteam leaders can range from a ****ing PFC to a Corporal. I believe Its decided by the platoon commander. And a designated Marksman, yes I would assume...

Already did that just before I went on a 96 for thanksgiving. Hopefully it will be on this pay check. Need the money. Spend too much of it on beer, tobacco, and ordering domino's. Those chicken,...

Just don't look like a bag of ass when you get there thats all. Besides, looking good when you're at the hotel might help you with some airforce chick. ;):banana:

Fire team leader is designated higher up. When I got to my unit my squad leader pretty much assigned us a position. I got placed as a SAW gunner. We have a radio operator who is a plain old 0311 like...

I keep mine in my boots. Don't wear mine around my neck though. I dumby cord it to my belt loop and put them in my pocket.

I got a $7500 bonus for signing a 5 year contract. Still haven't gotten it. Lazy pogues haven't put it through yet I guess.

I always thought it sucked. But thats just my opinion.

All I gotta say is that he better get it in writing.

Yes it is true about the whole SOI situation... sometimes. I went to PI, went to SOI east, and ended up in Lejeune. My best bud went to PI, went to SOI east and ended up in Pendleton. It just depends...

Just go up to some seniors and be like "hey mother ****ers. Why don't you guys come on down to the station and just sit down and talk with the recruiter for atleast 30 minutes. Don't like what you...

I don't trust anyone out in Jacksonville

Don't worry, you'll still be in shape. Long hikes, constantly wearing your flack and kevlar. Carrying a weapon everywhere. And out in the field a lot. At first the **** might be a little heavy and...

1. In my platoon none of us actually brought a laptop to SOI with us. Most of us, if not all, had our cell phones, cd players, ipods. Had a guy in my platoon who later on bought a small tv and an...

Did the CFT when I was in SOI. Its one hell of a ****ing workout.

My Battalion recently lost a Marine due to a motorcycle accident. Some guy pulled out infront of him... Even worse, his folks were following in a car a few cars behind him.

If the war was about oil then I don't see it with how much I'm paying for gas.

Just remember this when you are there. Everything that is done is for a reason. Always help each other out. If you are getting ****ed up because of another recruit's mistake, don't get ****ed off....

You better get some sleep tonight then.

We train with the M-16A2. Still have to qualify by shooting at the 200, 300, and 500. But now there is a new requirement. That one is called table one. Its still scored the same. You have to get 190...

You guys going to 3rd BN may never be able to drill, but you will definetly be strong. :p

Oohrah Cpl. Second time was the charm I suppose ;)

You get PFC for different reasons. Most common is getting 2 people to sign up. You can also get it for being in ROTC, Eagle scouts, and such. Another way is to get it in boot camp by meritorious...

Very well Marine, I'll rephrase. If you go to boot camp as a contract PFC after you earn the title... Now the rest can be filled in and such.

Mikeab84, right after the crucible now, if you make...

Actually you get issued Dress Blues anyways now:p.
