Initial Drill was coming up, and we were waiting for the other platoons to finish up at the rappelling tower. So we marched out to an open area to run through the drill card, but we left our weapons...

Hey, I'm a female. But I'm not about to argue with any of what's been said. A lot of females do fall out of the humps. Not ALL...I didn't. But most Marines who fall out are female (yes, males fall...

No more Drill Instructors. Just Combat Instructors. It's pretty chill. They are cool, welcome lots of questions, and tell lots of stories. They might mess with you, but it's a lot different from a...

MCT, lovingly referred to as "4th phase." It sucked because it was cold. And you get a lot less sleep. But the first nine days or so are in "garrison," meaning you sleep in a squadbay, eat at the...

Or because female Drill Instructors are also more emotional, thus bringing even more random bouts of insanity and mind games into the mix...

I graduated last November, so it's still pretty fresh in my memory. Feel free to PM me if you want more info. I'll be glad to tell you everything you want to know. I was the one asking as many people...

Go for a commission. And don't tell them about the depression/meds. The medical screening you go through for ROTC/OCS is completely separate from MEPS. They'll never find out unless you tell them...

Rennerfeldt are you kidding me?! Let's think back to the class with Series Guns...what do you think she would say if you raised your hand and asked if we could wear THONGS in uniform....

Most of the recruits in my platoon (female) were 18, straight out of high school. We had a handful of 17 year olds. I was 22 and one of the oldest...I think there were two or three who were older....

Are the shooting badges mandatory in the rest of the uniforms? Because when I showed up to RA wearing my shooting badge on my dress blue deltas, one of the recruiters told me to take it off...

That's actually me in the blues in this pic. 4th Bn November Company Honor Grad.

The Marine standing to the side is probably Lead Series Guide. After they passed the reviewing "stand," the...

6-4-4 is how many clicks you adjust the windage knob left to right. At 200 yards, the minimum adjustment is 6 clicks. At 300, 4 is the minimum. At 500, 4 is the minimum.

Females ***** a lot. So I imagine the guys may experience a little more of the whole camaraderie thing. But I definitely have my handful of Marines that I'd like to keep in touch with.

Hey everyone. I just graduated from Parris Island yesterday, 21 November, 2008. I know everyone has questions, so feel free to send them my way. Especially the female poolees, I know I had a ton of...

Good evening Marines. PFC Lawrence, finally off the island! How can I change my avatar? That link above didn't work...

It's my last Monday as a civilian as well. I'm ready. I definitely know what you mean about being tired of the family. I'm ready for the next chapter of my life.

Yeah, except the original question was about 13 minutes, not 13 1/2 minutes.

1.5 miles/13 min = 0.115385 miles per minute.

multiply times 60 minutes.
0.115385 mpm x 60 min = 6.9231 miles per hour.

...or about 7 mph. Pretty darn fast.
