Hello Marines,

So the marriage didn't work out and I just want to know how soon after my divorce being official do I lose housing? How much time to I get to move out of housing? I'm sure...

Back at home with my Title. BEST and worst experience of my life, but def worth EVERY second. Any poolees on here got any questions feel free to contact me. especially females. Stay motivated!

True, true. Just gotta take the plunge and suck it up! Killed at the IST, I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

I think it's all this anticipation...once I'm there I don't think I'll even be able to think about being nervous. Off to my IST!

I DEPed in Sep 2008, but my ship date wasn't until May 26, 2009. I got tired of waiting around, so when my recruiter offered me a closer ship date (May 11) I gladly took it. Tomorrow--or should I say...

Eventually I would like to be stationed in San Diego, but I'd like to experience overseas. Btw, did you get a job guarantee on your contract because you are prior service? I couldn't get one on mine....

lol. You leave a post for about three months and look what happens. Well, I'm glad the chances of me getting to Okinawa are good. :)

Ooh, didn't know that. Well, I guess for now what we'll do is the thank you card and bring something in for all the Marines in the office, like food or something. But I really appreciate the sword...

This question is not necessarily related to the Marine Corps per se, but more as suggestions for a thank you to a good Marine.

One of my recruiters (also one of my favorite Marines) is leaving the...

I think separation can be a great thing. It basically just allows you to test the quality of your relationship and saves you a lot of wasted time. My now husband and I were apart for over a year...

Big lol to both echo3oscar1833 and Enigmatic.

Also, I'm not planning on paying bills while in boot camp, just when I'm done I'd like to use whatever I have to take care of some loose ends. Just...

I see. That's great advice. Thanks.

Thank you for the replies...they were helpful. I just wanted to make sure I would be receiving my pay as early as graduation and not after ALL my training. I have bills to pay off and wanted to know...

Hi. I am shipping out in about 4 months now and I am trying to get all my financial stuff in order. My question is about boot camp pay. At what point do you receive your pay? Is is immediately after...

I was clear and only misunderstood by what seems to be one person. Don't exactly know what you mean by "my way." I was looking for one simple answer, not snide comments about what my motives for...

In NO WAY do I consider joining the United States Marine Corps a "summer vacation," nor would I compare it to changing a course of study. I don't appreciate the assumption that I am joining on a whim...

First of all, thank you for all the replies. To explain my choice of putting the break on school: I desperately need a break from the humdrum, mundane school life. Been at it for a while and putting...

Hi - Some background info: I am almost done with my BA degree, but decided not to wait any longer and enlisted. However, I would still like to finish my degree. My recruiter mentioned that an...

lol. I just turned 23, I did the same thing! I talked to a Marine recruiter Sr. year of high school, but got talked out of it by the parents. For the longest time I was so jealous of my younger...

Hey, I'm shipping June 09. I, also being a girl, had the same problem with building upper body strength on my own. I've recently worked my way to being able to do a hand full of pull ups (which...

lol. Well, I don't mind pushing pencils; I'm pretty good at it. What I really want to do is get into Legal Admin. I hope to eventually go to law school and move on to the JAG program, so it's good...

Hello, I am a poolee scheduled to leave for boot camp summer of next year. My MOS is administration. Just wanted to know if there are any Admin Marines out there that can fill me in or give me a...

Just curious. Thanks for the reply.

This may sound funny, but my question is about picture day. I was told by my recruiter that they are taken at approximately the third week of boot camp. Since we will be stripped of nearly...
