So I just heard that when I arrive at my unit I may be put straight onto a MEU which I've always heard good things about.
Really annoying not knowing for sure where I'm going, not that it matters...

Oh I'm definitely not taking my car or my wife's. I want to sell mine and at least break even.
We're giving her car to her brother and hes just going to take over payments.
I wish I could start...

Forgot to ask about transportation over there... Buying a car there of course is an option but I also wanted to consider motorcycle/scooter/bicycles. Is there much of a variety or quality of the 3?
...

So on July 3rd I am to separate from my command and by August 2nd I am to report to MHG III MEF MP Support Co. I don't really have a clue what that means. (I'm a 5811 - MP so its either field or...

You will be issued ALL your dress uniforms and uniform items aside from the 'Gold Buckle' for your blues, along with the new 'Running Suit.'

Nice one Sgt.
Heh

Well thank you all for your advice gentlemen, I'll just keep doing my time and try my best to be a stellar Marine.

I'm stationed at Quantico surrounded by 2 and 3 year Lcpls. I'm a 23 year old PFC, I don't like being treated like a 18 year old punk. I'm older than a lot of my NCO's (please don't assume that I...

I'm looking to advance my rank as quick as possible, I have until December when I pickup LCpl, however I don't want to be a 2 year or Terminal Lance. I want to pickup Cpl as soon as possible. However...

I found that ice was available during "Senior Drill Insturctor Free Time," only if your SDI allowed it. However that's not even possible if your fellow Ice Recruits forget the water jugs at chow...

Cpl, being that I have not been deployed and I am at a non-deployable duty station I dont have much to say but good luck and come back safe.
However I have heard rumor that soap/cologne/smell good...

If you go open contract you're an idiot.
Whatever MOS you want will most likely open up again after this Fiscal Year (this fiscal year ends around Oct. 6th, like last year.)
Wait for your MOS,...

About every 2 to 3 years you will PCS.
Or at least you're supposed too.

Most of security battalion did ours on Wednesday, it was really gun. Lots of good competition going on.

I personally impressed myself with
Movement to fire (1/2mi): 3:02
Ammo Can: 91 (with 30...

When I got mine removed we got a half day of bed rest, and the next day was light duty and that's it. It sucked trying to eat, especially box chow because there aren't many options for soft foods...

What the who???
I'm still considered rather fresh out of boot camp and have never heard any such a thing.
A recruiter would probably know all available methods/medias available to contact a...

I wish I could replace my PFT score with my CFT... I make High first class PFTers look stupid in the CFT.

Definitely a strong point for me.

No kidding...

I had SSGT. James for my Senior.
Ssgt Twigg is AWESOME, he was a different platoon.
Sgt. Albertson is pretty cool.
I dont know Sgt. Reagan.

Were Sgt. Arnold, Sgt. Pinson, and...

We call it a contract these days. :beer:

Who were your drill instructors?

Thanks Gents!
Meghan and me have picked a date officially. May 31st 2010 at a Rose Garden near Raleigh, NC.
We plan on doing a civil service prior to allow us to save some money and live with each...

Thank you, Cpl.
And you are absolutely right! I will talk to Meghan about heading your advice, simply because I do not want anything to go wrong. It would tear me apart quite honestly. However we...

I was demonstrating the Defensive Tactics I learned in MP training. ;)

DefTac is continuous, Cpl.

Thanks Sgt! Can't wait to be back with my best friend. :D

So Ladies and Gents, I have taken the first few steps to Engagement and Marriage!
I have purchased the ring, and received permission from her mother. (Her father is deceased.)
I haven't fully...
