Good luck! :marine:

Congratulations! :marine:

And ours is officially called Marine Corps Recruit Training. So there is no "simple fact." So if we are going to correct everyone on their "official name" of training, should I start correcting...

My wife is Air Force. She and many of her fellow airman (who are also serving their country honorably) call it boot camp. My Army friend who was killed in Desert Storm called his Army training "boot...

Doesn't bother me all that much. I just take it as an homage to the clean-cut good-looks of a US Marine! :)

Could they have done the commercial using Navy, Air Force, or even Army boot camp? I...

Good stuff.

Merry Christmas to all my brothers in arms, and their families!

Pass on my Happy Birthday wishes! :)

Hey, I am 33... I am not sure I like the way you say "a whopping 33"! :D

Happy birthday!

If you are doing 15 pullups, you are doing great. That 19:30 3-mile run time is great too.

Remember, you WILL get stronger there, so there is no need to be able to do a perfect PFT before you go. ...

That long after serving, I don't think HQMC can do anything for you at all. I don't believe that any records at all are retained there that long. The NPRC (National Personnel Records Center) that I...

GunnyL has some great tips there. Brushing up on the knowledge is a great step. I agree with the endurance work as well... there isn't a lot of heavy lifting in boot camp, but you will be running...

Great story marinemom, thank you. I agree completely... when I see pictures of myself and my fellow Marines when I was in, I am amazed at how young I look... with the awesome responsibility of...

That is an outstanding story. People expect us to hold the moral high ground during conflict, but rarely does anyone pay attention to the stories that prove we are doing so.

Well said TRLewis. :marine:

It can take from a few weeks to months to get records.

I got out in 1996. I sent for copies of my DD214, and recieved them in about 2 weeks.

I also sent for some LES's covering dates in 1991. I...

Isn't that the truth. It's probably pretty common with lots of us, but I didn't even realize how special it was to be a Marine, and to have these values, until I left active duty and entered civilian...

There are indeed some disturbed people out there. Seems bleak, but hopefully the baby can be saved and bring a glimmer of hope to a horrible situation.

No, there is never enough Bradleys, lol. There is never enough of anything to wage a war with. :p

The Humvees were never designed to ever be used in combat, that is the point. They were intended...
