since your east coast you'll spend about 8-10 days at camp geiger drawing gear and checking in...eating at the chow hall and sweating in squad bays. After that you'll hike out to Camp Devildog and...

22 is NOT to old to join enlisted, I went to bootcamp with a guy that turned 31 while we there and graduated a PVT.

I wouldn't know as I haven't been to Afghanistan, though I would imagine there mission is essentially the same as Iraq..MSR security and perimeter security as well as cordon and searches.

well...

yea i'm one of those MP's your referring too lol


I'm a K9 handler, so I do stuff the regular road Mp's don't but I can tell you it's a great MOS to get into. Garrison life sucks, cause your...

this is a little outdated. LTCOL. Jessup is our Provost Marshal at our base now.

1. you'll get a glimpse of them the day your recruiter drives you to MEP's, after that the next time you'll see them is when you graduate..if you graduate.

2. does it matter? you'll come out of...

yea I definitely remember having to shine the **** outta that bell, SGTMAJ came out "RECRUIT!! I BETTER BE ABLE TO SEE MYSELF IN THAT THING WHEN YOUR DONE!! "AYE SIR!!!"

idk..i'm an MP and I worked my ass off to get K9 so i wouldn't have to stand a gate for 8 hours and wave traffic and salute dependents with blue decals :P oorah garrison.

depending on your base there is a full time SRT team or a part time team. It is a secondary MOS so once you finish MP school and obtain the MOS of 5811 and get to the fleet you can TRY OUT for the...

it depends on the NCO watching you honestly. I've done PFT's and gotten away with a slight bend and others they count like every 3 pullups because my arms weren't "locked out fully". do them FAST and...

i got em at Bootcamp, SDI made me yell it to the whole platoon when I came back from medical "SIR! THIS RECRUIT HAS HEMORRHOIDS SIR!" they give you witch hazel and stuff, really not a big deal.

the whole point in getting the 15 credits is to prove you want this bad enough and that your not quitter if your a GED graduate. Of course when I joined they where still hurting for people and hadn't...

yea we never got any of that stuff that rg2o3 did. letters was about it...care packages (like food) where allowed ONLY if there was enough for the ENTIRE platoon and that was only during third phase....

I was a GED graduate and enlisted after I got my 15 college credits. The Marines Corps only takes about 5% of GED graduates. Now that the Marine Corps has met it's manpower requirements they are alot...

boot camp is the ****tiest day you have probably had up to that point...and you have it for 3 months straight. Alot of mail really helps with homesickness and getting your mind right.

there is nothing "basic" about recruit training, you are transformed completely not just trained from a civilian.

being K9 is awsome, not gonna lie but presidental security is an extremely hard to get/coveted MOS. congratulations man.

im in hawaii and was told I would rate a GWOT ribbon after 30 days in the fleet, sure enough 30 days from check in it showed up on my MOL. i thought every Marine rated it after 30 days or is it just...

of all the things to worry about....

listen, you will change If you make it through Recruit Training in the Marines. I'm not a gung-ho testosterone crazed badass either and I'm doing just fine in...

I did the wish list at MP school, at K9 school you can request a actual duty station since it's such a small MOS, but it is ultimately up to the monitor and the needs of certain bases where you go.

Marines wear sunglasses all the time in uniform..I'm in Hawaii though. as long as there "tactical" I.E black,green,brown and don't have mirrored lenses (even then that's something people usually look...

the whole "field vs garrison" thing cannot be guaranteed by anything other than reserve status (reserve MP units are all field units)....as was said before the married Marines are more LIKELY to get...

protein and carbs are your best friends... wheat bread and pastas, bananas covered in peanut butter, tuna, any high protein drinks (muscle milk is a good one). I had to put on 10 LB's when I dep'ed...

5831 (correctional specialist) trains for 1 month at Lackland AFB,San Antonio TX. its a very quick course because alot of that job is OJT and every brig is run differently they just teach the basics...
