Thank you all for the advice. The Corps isn't going anywhere, it will still be here after I heal up. I tried calling my recruiter today to give him the news but he wasn't available so I spoke to one...

Let me start out by saying that I'm supposed to be shipping Oct 14th.

So for a while now (weeks possibly months) I've been having pain in my hip (especially right) whenever I move my leg. I tried...

Do only combat MOSs go through Mojave Viper?

Oh ok thanks I was confused for a minute

I may be wrong but I thought that the phone call from boot was when you arrive, not two weeks in.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I have taken yesterday and today off from pull ups. I'll also maybe take tomorrow off just to be safe I hope I do come out pumping out more than before:thumbup:

How long should I be taking a break for?
I ship next month, I don't want to start getting lazy if I take too long of a break.

I've been doing lots of pullups, went from not being able to do a single one a few months ago to being able to do 6 maybe 7 if I really put all into it.
Anyway, about a week and a half ago I must...

update.
Just got back from my recruiter's office and was finally able to talk to him. I didn't know that all of last week he was at some training at MEPS, so I went three times to find out he wasn't...

My recruiter IS the SNCOIC of the station after my previous recruiter, as another recruiter put it, "dissapeared off the face of the earth"

Well I went to the recruiter's office today for the weekly PT (which didn't take place since only 5 people showed up) and my recruiter wasn't there. I guess I'll have to go back tomorrow then, I was...

Thanks for the advice everyone.
I'm going to weekly PT in a few hours so I will do what I have to do then.
I'lll report back on how it worked out.

When speaking with your recruiters do you use Marine talk or "normal" talk. Examples would be deck instead of floor/ground, head instead of bathroom/restroom whichever you use, portholes instead of...

Thank you for the advice, I will do that tomorrow at the weekly PT meet. Hopefully he won't try giving me a hard time. I need to be firm but at the same time I don't want to seem rude or like a...

That's what I want to do, but I'm not sure how.
Should I tell my recruiter that I'm not shipping if I can't get it sorted out? Should I somehow contact MEPS or the main recruiting station of the...

Ok so I just remembered a little issue I have that I kind of forgot about until I read this thread http://leatherneck.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67478

I am in a similar situation, except I am...

Sorry guys I seem to have not expressed myself correctly. I meant to ask whether or not why my recruiter isn't here or not is something that they would be allowed to tell me, not whether or not...

I did ask how that would work out and who would by my new recruiter, everything about that is settled. I'm just curious as to what happened and why I wasn't informed. And by that I don't mean it as...

For the past two or so weeks I've been trying to contact my recruiter. Each time I call or show up he just stepped out and they don't know for sure when he'll be back. I tried calling his cellphone...

I ran a search and couldn't find any relevant threads pertaining to this subject.

I am interested to know from any Marines or military members in general any experiences, advice or suggestions...

Few months ago at PT I think I was starting to get heat stroke. Of course my stupid self didn't say anything to anyone and tried playing it off.
My enitre vision was a blur, I could...

Well it seems that "stuff" wasn't the best word to use, I didn't mean to make it sound bad.

I suppose a better term would be to "go out in the field." I'd want to have a job that has me going out...

Over the past few days I've been getting some serious doubts about my MOS choice. Initially, I wanted intelligence but because of something out of my control I couldn't pick that. After some more...

I always hear from people "well my dad/mom was in *insert service branch here* so they were supportive, my cousins were too, as was my uncle, etc"

For me it isn't quite like that. The only person...

I have a question about where you said to make friends with Marines you think are a good example.
I've always heard that you shouldn't/couldn't be friends with those with a higher rank than you in...
