haha, you can play golf 'til you are 80 years old. I'm sure you can put it on hold to serve your country.

I"m a radio tech. Started out as a 2844, but we then merged with 2846 to make it 2841. Its not bad. you'll prolly dread Comm school since its at 29 palms, and it is a year long. But hey, Vegas is...

As long as it is on MOL, you rate it.

If you can't make it in the civilian life, what makes you think you can hack it in the military life.

I bet my life that Softball will chime in and say, "there is nothing basic about boot camp." Nothing against you, just a little humor to pass time. By the way, there is absolutely nothing basic...

You should be fine. I was 23 with a bachelors degree when I went to boot camp. You will see a lot of immature ****, but you'll get over it.

PLC is for sophmores and juniors. Now, it's harder to get commissioned as a college graduate. You might want to get a move on for PLC

If you can take being away from home for long periods of time, then you should be good.

I got some bad news for you. Comm/electrician school is located at 29palms. You will be there for about a year. Your wife will be able to look into places out there. It's like polishing a turd,...

you should be able to terminate the contract or freeze it.

If you want to join so you can "support a family," then enlisting is a terrible idea. There are people receiving more money on unemployment checks than our paychecks. You should only join the...

How the heck did you even hear about that? Marines are not suppose to talk about any events from crucible, especially the tricky events. I guess there are always that lower 5%. Stop reading into...

haha, this thread is a couple years old. Way to go champ.

It's better than nothing kid. I'm in Afghanistan for the holidays. Get used to missing holidays, funerals, birthdays, etc...

Thats great, not only did you take up a spot, you didn't even put forth enough effort about your ship date. Well, you're better off because you'd be four days in boot, and crying your eyes out.

Get used to missing weddings, funerals, birthdays, family vacations, and much much more. The Corps owns you and there is nothing you can do. Have fun!

Seems like he needs some training on OPSEC ;)

MOS4429, you make a wonderful point. It is just the world we live in. Businesses and employers do not know there applicants personally. They only look to see what's good on paper. Having a...

Most recruits go to church to get away from the DIs. Recruits i knew visited different religious services. I guess they were just open minded.

thewookie is right about OSO turning from college grads. They are more interested in sophmores and juniors for that PLC program.

This still won't change much. It will only help the recruits with serious injuries, such as, broken bones and the recruits in PCP. For the recruits who endure sprains, concussions, or stress...

Well, you gotta think of this in a business aspect. Would the Marine Corps select a kid who was shacked up in a house and pretended to learn during high school, or a kid who actually changed out of...

If money is your concern, then the Marine Corps is not the way you want to go. After I graduated from one of the most expensive colleges in the country, I went enlisted. I could make more money...

I guess not since it's not on my medical records ;)

Thats what I meant Sgt, but I got distracted. ha
