There are many times I come through the gate in PT gear or civvies and change in the gym before work. I wouldn't salute in civvies or PT gear outside of the car; what makes it different when...

My younger sister decided she didn't want to go to college after high school. She insisted that she was going to play music in the military. This was a laughable thought at the time. She was an...

I try to return salutes while I'm in a vehicle and stopped. I don't when I'm driving, but I try to make some kind of gesture to acknowledge the salute.

What course of action you take is completely up to you, don't expect anyone to make your choice for you. However, I'd go so far as to say it would not be wrong to officially report your recruiter, to...

I had written something else, but the basic thought had already been posted, so I changed it to nm - never mind.

Thanks Sir.

LTDaly, here is what you need:

If you really want the flight time that's great. However, I'd honestly suggest that you don't go for your PPL before IFS. IFS is not difficult, nor is it time-consuming. It is only a 4-5 week course;...

Inter-service transfers are possible, but resigning your commission changes that. I worked at an OSO for a little while and we never worked with any such situation. I'd advise, like Staff Sergeant...

Thanks for the response Sergeant. I appreciate it. :)

A 1000 or higher is required on the SAT. That 1000 figure is Math and Verbal only. If you did not take the SAT, but the ACT instead, you need a composite score of 24 or higher.

Sir, are you currently a staff member here at The Basic School?

That's what I'd always done when I was a candidate, and always do with senior officers.

I've been called "dude," "man," "guy," and more at my current billet. For applicants that have been selected and are going to OCS, I try to take them aside and give them a brief class on customs and...

Thank you, sir. Aye sir! I will do that shortly.

My biggest suggestion to you is that you should concentrate on succeeding at boot camp. OCS and the path to becoming an Officer are quite far down the road. If you're near your OSO, it doesn't hurt...

The MarineOCS website provided by the Commander will give you lots of information.

tmackay,

I believe that your local OSO is the

OSO Salem.



The number for that particular office is

Speak to an OSO about an OCC -Reserve contract.

I work at an OSO office right now as a PTAD.

Also, I see you're pre-law. Are you interested in the JAG option at all?

:D Very true

Sir, you forgot to mention the long relaxing showers that we were allowed after our morning yoga classes.

I'm a PTAD working recruiting duty at an OSO right now.

With regards to your post, your scores are not competitive and enlisting does nothing to change the scores. Your recruiter has presented an...
