I remember once our Jhat was teaching us stack arms. He told us to remember "two in the pink, one in the stink" because you were supposed to put two fingers in the loop and one finger over it. ...

The funniest, scariest, saddest, and happiest time of my life. I'm...

Leaving for the Hotel now, I'm stoked as ****, can't wait to get my ass chewed by the Drill Instructors.

If you're looking for some advice from actual Marines, you aren't going to get it here, only poolees and moderators can post in here. This question would be better suited for the Ask a Marine forum.

Hell yeah I'll be right there with you guys. If you get a kid named Ryan Kreeger in your platoon, that's me.

Can't wait to earn my title :flag:

It's pretty easy and it only takes about 5 minutes. He just asks you stuff about joining and about prior drug use. Just answer truthfully and you've got nothing to worry about.

This is a great video made in response to the Marines in Berkeley situation.

I am lucky to have come from a military background. My Dad was in the Air Force for 21 years so my family all understand and appreciate what I'm doing.

I've only gotten thanks and appreciation...

Welcome! You would probably get a better response if you posted this in the "Ask a Marine" forum. This forum is for Poolees only, Marines can't post in here.

Good luck man.

Also, are you sure that you are keeping your original MOS? Sometimes when your ship date gets switched around your MOS may be changed too. I'd double check with the recruiter to...

Some more moto for us infantry guys.

Not a chance in hell, I spent too much time securing my mos, you couldn't convince me to give it up for anything.

The EGA ceremony. Although I'm not sure whether I'm gonna cry or not, and I'm also not sure if crying during it is a good or bad thing.

But yeah, I ship 8/10 to San Diego

August 10th looks a lot closer from this side of June. Just a little over a month left. I'm nervous, scared, and excited all at the same time.

I'm also leaving August 10th for San Diego. My latest IST score is in my sig. My field is 0300.

Also, did you notice that we actually get two days shaved off of boot camp? We graduate on...

First of all fill out your profile or your not gonna be very popular around here.

In my opinion, as long as it's not overboard it's not a big deal. As long as you never claim to be a Marine then...

Just plotted my normal run and it came out to be 3.29 miles. I guessed it was around 3 but i never knew for sure. Thanks alot for this :thumbup:.

So you expect to just show up here as a civilian and receive the same amount of respect as someone who has gone through boot camp and earned the title? Someone who has dedicated a significant...

14 pullups
83 crunches
11:08 1.5 mile

I'm hoping to have the pullups and crunches maxed by the time i leave for boot camp in 2 months.

I also ship August 10 to MCRDSD. I'm not sure if you're also going there or if it's the same for Parris Island, but I'm going to be in Alpha company 1st battalion. I found out from this graduation...

Hell yeah, I'll see you there bro!

Actually, I find the pull-ups on the Iron Gym to be more tiring than the real ones at my recruiters office or the ones cemented into the ground at the community college that we do our pool functions...

Have you tried the Iron Gym? You've probably seen it in infomercials on TV. No screws or bolts or anything. My recruiter recommended I get one and It has been a godsend. I've raised my pull ups...
