Hello Marines,
I haven't posted here very often since I enlisted, so a little about myself: I went in open contract in 2009, and ended up as a Data Network Specialist (0651). I got stationed at...

Go on the marines.mil manpower page, and there's an option to see every MOS and its current score for Corporal. Besides a couple of new MARSOC spots, there are a few I remember seeing that were still...

Well, it at least takes a little of the sting away to know that Marines marrying for the benefits isn't as recent a phenomenon as I had thought.

And I guess deep down I know that there's no way...

To be honest, I really don't even care about those Marines being homosexual. I'm more upset that they only went after them for being homosexual, and not for just defrauding the government out of BAH....

Hey Marines, Poolees, and everyone else. I just graduated as an E1 from Parris Island, 1st Battalion, B Company, Platoon 1012 on February 12th. I never did a whole lot of posting here myself, but...

I'm getting ready to ship next week out of RS Baltimore, and I was at RS Headquarters the day the Commanding Officer faxed the increased IST minimum to the RS Sub-stations. I suppose it differs these...

Hey Marines, I need your help again!

I swore into service on 20080826, and my recruiter succeeded in securing me an 03XX slot as I had requested. But before he dropped me off at my house that day,...

I wish that for half-a-second I could be as hard as I'm sure that kid is every single day of his life.

My recruiter is currently pushing the paperwork to sign me up for UH Infantry (03XX).

I went to MEPS today and all of the Marines in the Liaison office were giving these two applicants a hard time because they hadn't shaved in a little while and had beards. They even made them shave...

Well, here's a breakdown of my progress:

I've lost a pound.

I tried the juice diet crap. All it did was starve me until I wanted to die. I managed to lose two or three pounds after those two...

Temporary and fast is good for me right now. I have a long time after that to worry about getting physically fit.

Also, if I use the Two-Day Diet Juice I purchased (which I started today) and then...

Thanks for the advice, everyone!

I neglected to mention that right now, I'm trying to avoid building muscle (at least for the next couple of weeks) and only burn fat. So I'm doing cardio, cardio,...

Sorry if I'm making a mistake in posting this in the Poolees' forum, as I am not yet a Poolee, but I felt that this forum would be appropriate since my concerns deal mainly with being able to DEP in....

I don't live near a track, and I'm terrible at estimating distances, so all of my attempts to run were always met with catastrophic failure, because I found that I was running until exhaustion and...

Sorry, didn't mean to make it seem like I was calling Intelligence a relaxed field. I certainly haven't done enough research into Intelligence to determine how much more difficult it is than other...

Just to keep everybody updated, my recruiter came over after dinner to sit and talk with me and my parents. Well, of course he started off on his whole spiel about how I scored high on my practice...

Thank you, Sergeant. This advice has really helped me. My recruiter is calling me again tomorrow to set up a time to come chat with my parents. I am not yet in the DEP, and I still have a year of...

Thanks Marines. I knew you would pull through for me. :]

I am going to tell my recruiter that I am not willing to enlist until I am guaranteed to be a grunt, and that I want to see it on paper.
...

This is my first time posting here, so I have to beg your pardon if I've made any mistakes.

I just talked to my recruiter for the first time the day before yesterday. I can't remember his name...
