Good luck, PFC Hayes.

Will you be going to MCT on regular schedule, or did you get RA?

Leaving for the hotel now. See you guys on the other side.

Yah, this story has been getting a lot of attention around here. You can view the trailer over in the thread I read it in earlier. http://www.leatherneck.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76543

Looks...

lol, alright guys. Point taken.

I leave Monday, just got back from MEPS. Wish me luck. Maybe I'll get the attitude adjustment you all claim I need.

I'll keep it to topic, but I wasn't boasting.

I was looking to find out if more training beyond MCT was required for MOS that didn't go to Infantry School in order to be deployed to a combat...

You misunderstood me if you think I'm trying to be a badass.



I was waiting for this response. Legitmate question, you don't have to like it, but to those who put me in my place by letting me...

If and when I earn the Title, at least I'll bring an advanced level of drinking with my newly fitted Dress Blues.

Thanks for the info guys. This is why I asked this question, to get a better grasp of what to expect. I'd like to pull the, "Hey, I'm a poolee" card while I can.

I understand, and part of me felt it wasn't appropriate to ask this. Regardless, I'm curious if it's ever happened among any of your experiences, and would like to know what happened - at the very...

Basic rifleman before all, I understand.

I wasn't sure if there was a difference though in training requirements for say, being deployed to an actual red zone, or simply applying your occupation...

My goal in Boot Camp is to complete it and bust my ***. Plain and simple, don't misunderstand me. I'm 22, and I feel more mature than to go to fists with one of my peers, especially at Boot Camp....

Week's almost over gentlemen...

Okay, I appreciate the reply.

I hear my recruiter talk to me and others about people being Alpha and others being Bravo. I understand what it means literally, to have above or below a certain ASVAB score, but on the receiving...

Thrice's whole album "The Artist in the Ambulance" is a good pick for me.
Scary Kids Scaring Kids self-titled is also a good choice.

Thanks Pete, this helps clear up any misunderstandings. I look forward to earning the Title beginning this Monday.

I look up to Marines like you. I pray you make a full recovery.

Great answer, thank you very much. Comm guys in an infantry unit, are they sent through more combat training, or should MCT cover everything they'll need to keep up with the infantry units?

I've attempted the Search function for this one, but my browsers aren't reading the security number.

My MOS is 06xx Communications. I've been told, this far, that I can look forward to MCT...

Good luck to you too, and happy birthday. Hopefully we'll fly under the radar.

Smart. I'm starting to make phone calls and let the family know to completely disregard this years birthday. I don't plan to tell a ****ing soul. The less attention, the better in that regard.

I'll be the older dude with scars on his chest and a retarded nautical star tattoo on the back of my shoulder (a mark of my younger days)

Good ****. Good luck man. I hope to see you a Marine this Fall.

Hey Echo,

I'm from the Peoria in Arizona. I was wondering why Galesburg didn't sound familiar until I considered that there was a Peoria in IL, lol. Either way, thanks for the welcome.
