Thanks for posting that site DevilDog. There is a lot of good information there.

If you poolees haven't watched Ears Open Eyeballs Click, I would recommend you do so. It's an hour and a half...

I got some Federal hollowpoints to hopefully negate some of those issues with the 9mm.

Thanks to all that responded.

We ended up going with a GLOCK 9mm compact. I would have liked to go with something with a little more stopping power, but I also needed to make sure my wife could...

To answer your question Sir, I am soon to be purchasing a handgun before I leave for bootcamp, and ideally I would like to buy one that could be used both for home protection (for my wife while I am...

Does anyone have the facts on which MOSs get to carry sidearms, and which caliber the USMC is issuing to those that are authorized to carry them?

I've done a little research online, but no one...

While it may be true that infantry Marines might have fewer options than say a Marine that was trained in fixing aircraft, tanks, etc., there are still plenty of options that will be available after...

Man, I feel your pain when it comes to math.

If you have any colleges around your area, you may be able to find a sexy college dame to tutor you in the ways of mathematics. Check bulletin boards...

I went to a SLC when I was in middle school, eighth grade I believe, for some help in math. I was only there for about a month or so, and I felt that it was beneficial in that I had someone that...

Excellent! I haven't seen many poolees on this site that have our ship date. If you would, PM me your last name so I can give you a high five while we are doing our time at The Island.

I'm a Apple/Macintosh technician for an Apple reseller here in TN. It's a good job, but not a career. Now pulling triggers for a living, that's a career I could get used to.

If there was a trick to advancing 5 pullups in 15 days, we would all be at 20+.

Some of the techniques listed above are excellent. The bottom line is that you just have to find a pullup bar and...

FelonyJ, this forum is for Marine Corps. poolees, most of which are the same age as you but less ignorant. I am quite sure that just about everyone on this site is well aware of how to use a...

Greetings Marines.

I will be on my way to Parris Island to earn my title in nearly a month. I am preparing myself physically and mentally by working out and studying USMC knowledge whenever I...

How about "Hey Marine" or "Master Gunnery Sergeant" instead of "hey dude". I realize you are new here, but try showing a little respect. Don't you think he's earned it?

EDIT: Looks like WMarine...

Good luck recruit. Work hard and earn that title.

I believe all the above said is likely true. To be a guide or squad leader, I would assume that one would need to be a natural leader. Either you've got it or you don't.

This topic has been...

They had some really great commercials in the 1980s.

On a side note, I just got back from south Florida last week, and on I-75 Northbound I passed 3 USMC billboards. The first had HONOR theme,...

Sorry to hear that man. Make sure you do what the doctor says to heal that foot as quickly as possible.

In the mean time you could study up on your USMC knowledge and read some motivating books.

Reasons for joining The Corps...
1.) Prove to myself that I can accomplish something great during my lifetime
2.) Be apart of something greater than myself
3.) Learn self defense techniques and...

Unfortunately it appears there have been some changes to the Recon contract and course over the past year and a lot of the information on the internet is either out dated or conflicting.

I would...

I just finished Flags of our Fathers. The books is MUCH better than the movie.

Right now I'm reading Lone Survivor. It's a about a Navy Seal whose entire squad (except for one) was killed during...

I am in the same situation as you Shane. My wife and I have been married for nearly 2 years, and she doesn't know a lot of people here in Nashville. This makes me very nervous to leave her alone for...

I am REALLY excited about this. I ordered HBO just for this series as well.

All of the above is true, and building a bond and camaraderie with some of the guys that are going through the same challenges as you is something you wont find at the gym.

Plus, once you leave...

Congratulations Marine. What is your MOS, and where will you be sent for training?
