My hooch was around the corner from the aid station (main gate) when I woke up to a lot of craziness. I remember that night when botello was brought in. The doctor did everything he could....the...

Sea Lawyer! love it. Your making a prudent choice. Retake the asvab. The first time I took it I scored an 88 or something like that....the second time I scored 134, you'll do better. Get the MOS...

I'm responding to this a little late, but wanted to just say that the military as a whole constantly changes. It's no different than societal beliefs. This is the same argument we've been hearing...

I can try to answer some of these...since I was stationed at an I&I

The process to become a Marine reservist is the same as going active duty....enlist, boot camp, MOS school, etc. Where it...

Coming out of boot as an E3 is not uncommon. Lot's of prior service folks, etc. Even when I went through in 1990 I had a bunch.

Congrats Marine! I extend to you a hardy handshake and my...

"Sweatpea" hahahaha. That is awesome!

Trying to revive this thread cause I was deployed with RCT7 (Bedard aka Bulldog) and also lived at the stadium for awhile. I even went out with a CI (CWO) who had a bad back to check on a couple...

the JFTR states that all Marines pcs'ing are authorized (with rates starting at E1) to DLA when tranferring (outside close proximity). You're admin office needs a lesson in regulations. DFAS has a...

It's called the RECP program for a reserve enlisted. Google it up and it'll walk you through the process. You may want to look into the AR (active reserve) program down the road also....it's where...

That's good to hear......I think......I guess your sister is more valuable than you? lol just kidding.

Matt, I went the public policy route, so I can't provide too much insight for the law school route. That being said, you're time that you put into service is time well invested. Any route you take...

This is laughable for many reasons, but mostly because it's just not going to happen. Contingency plans, logistics, acquisitions alone would cost more than DoD has budget for (x5 years). We're...

I didn't realize there was a clause for recon. I'd bet it's more for a shot at it cause most fail the indoc. Maybe work on getting airborne at least...that's an easy one to get into and through! ...

Agree'd with josephd. You're not going to get any meds in the corps unless it's motrin and the stress level is going to go through the roof for you (at least initially). That just sounds like a...

wow...that's a heck of a program. Congrats and be prepared mentally. I'm guessing you've been preparing physically, so be prepared with the right mindset that the DI's are gonna mess with you. ...

There are IMA billets for you at Quantico. Probably more than you think. I would however keep an open mind about what you'll be doing. I don't believe I recall any being in HMX or OCS/TBS, but...

Yes sir! I was there in 93. I was back at pendleton at Recon co 5th Marines when we got the news that one of our platoons on the MEU was inserted and then we saw our guys on the news patrolling. Our...

I'd say there is some very good advice already posted. What if? will be your question. Go with your heart and gut. YOU get out of it what YOU put into it. I enlisted in 90 and just retired a few...

Just a suggestion for getting back "in." Why not just go to the Active Reserve Program? It's a program where you work at your I&I full time as an active duty Marine (paid by the reserves). The...

Good on ya Marine! We all have served with Marines in both categories of above and below average. I am proud of these women Marines who went through the training and made it. Now, the next step...
