Wow I graduated Delta Company 1061 as well about 9 months ago.

Of course! I believe that I have to have that mentality in order to make the most out of this situation. It just sucks seeing the other Marines in my class get orders attaching them with grunt units...

How am I lucky, Corporal? :(

I'm at MOS school right now and I got my orders yesterday. My first unit will be School of Infantry West (I am a 3531 Motor Vehicle Operator).

Can anyone tell me what it'll be like there? I went...

I've been a Marine for twenty days. FRESH! Hehe.

Happy thanksgiving

It's hard to believe it is. :sick:

They sell lotion at the recruit PX, so yes.

OH YES. :banana:

Yeah. The entire company was waiting for them for like 30 friggin damn minutes!!

I think I've seen you around Rowe. I was in 61. Congratulations man!

Surf and turf at the recruit messhall. That was awesome!

Good morning Corporal,

I graduated from Platoon 1061, Company D a.k.a. Dirty Delta. Four Marines fainted during our parade. :/

I'm getting picked up by my recruiters who will take me to MEPS in an hour. I'll see you guys later and thanks to everyone to has been helpful during my time in the DEP.

My MOS is Motor T. Do I get to pick if I'm an operator or a mechanic, or is "based upon the needs of the Corps"?

This is my last Monday as well. I have to attend like two or three dinners, and I have to watch my weight. sucks Lol

I wish I had this problem instead of the other way around. Haha

USA! USA! USA!

It's motivating to watch our athletes smash the competition. Can you guys say Michael Phelps? Makes me anxious to represent the red, white, and blue as a Marine when I graduate!...

Yes sir!

Yes sir, and thank you for clearing it up!

Hello Marines,

I've heard this expression a lot of times but I'm still not sure whether it is an insult or a compliment to Marines. Can you guys clear it up for me?

Thanks

Just to throw it out there to the Marines who attended college while active, how many years did you guys get done by the end of the first four years? Is at least two years do-able? And does MOS play...

Who here plans on taking advantage of the college classes that the Marines provide? Do you think there'll be enough time to get in some classes (especially if you're infantry)? Or are you guys going...

I've quit smoking for the past three months so I won't get cravings in boot camp (and to help me in running). It's gone pretty well.

Good afternoon Marines,

A couple of days ago my recruiter told me that since I am only a legal resident, I cannot be a tank crewman. I had already been in the DEP for months now and weeks before I...
