Thank you everyone for everything (I'm not good at shout-outs), and when I get off the Island, I hope it will be because I'll have earned the right to call you my brothers and sisters.

This is the best advice I have ever been given. We just have to be able to remember it, now! That's the challenge.

Hope to see you, Hackett!

I believe there is only one, but this is just the information I have found when using Google. Its in Newport, RI. 8 weeks long I think.

As custom, any Marines or other poolees that know, correct...

Hahahahaha, this is the answer I was expecting to hear.

RugbyFly10, you can find that information by using the search engine, or by looking through the Poolee Hall pages.

Ok, I just wrote this, but it didn't go through. Try two.

I was talking to a friend this evening who just became a Lance Corporal (congrats!), and she told me a few things...

1. Did you know...

The hours that you have presented are in-class time only. That doesn't include out of class work, and studying, not including studio art classes (which I have two of), which are three hours long...

Just as I was getting apprehensive about going, I read this. I'm feeling about 95% better and 100% more motivated! Thank you so much!

Sir, I have been working out since I DEPed in, in August. I have been doing my pushups, however, I still lack the arm muscle tone needed to do well. It takes a large amount of juggling to be able to...

That sounds pretty awful. In the good way, but still awful.
I won't know when I turn 20, because I'll be in bootcamp!


Or at least I hope I won't be reminded by any of my Drill Instructors!

Fender104, good idea for pushup help.
polizei, it takes approximately two weeks for the body to become "out of shape" after stopping a training regimen, did you know? But yes, agreed on the rest....

HAHA. I definetly heard the tone you used in that comment, there.

.........As for flexed arm hang, I don't even know how to do one. Noone tells me jack ****. I figure most of it out for myself....

I have a pullup bar, I just can't pull up to practice, even!

I hope your mom sees you walk at a better graduation, if you get my drift. :D But this conversation is more appropriate as a set of private messages, and not on this post, as it is clearly marked.

Yea, I bet that got your attention!

Ok, so common knowledge I leave in a little over a month, and I'm pretty concerned about not having upper-body strength. Physical performance is acceptable...

Pooleesilas, I know this is in a few days, but I want to tell you...Try to be the reasonable recruit. I was given the advice of "Listen to what your Drill Instructors are actually saying. They may be...

I agree! I feel the need to say something about the average male poolee's ability to reason, but I don't want to offend the Importants.

Thank you for doing it for us. :thumbup:

You are correct. He might just be turned around, or maybe his date has something to do with a 96 hour check up?
Just an idea.

This is the way of the Poolee Hall, grasshopper. Most of us are complete idiots and don't know when to just stop, shut up, and listen.

That's just the way things are. Hopefully it will be fixed...

Chels, that upps my count to four now. Myself included.
And JZfs720...are you SURE you don't want to leave earlier????
Just kidding.....Maybe.

Female poolees need a group.

If youre male, then don't reply to this post. I would have though that was self explanitory.
And fill out your profile fully. The Marines on this forum won't take you seriously unless you do. Dem's...

I'm pretty sure there are a minimum of us on this forum, but just in case...
Say Something!

It's slightly comforting to know that you have had words with someone thats leaving when you are.

Confirmation on that...

Recruiter was vague about the date, simply saying "Mid-January, Gunny will get on it." That was last month, I'll update when I know.
