mod please delete, my bad

yeah this is how the DI's told our platoon to say it

I was alright, not gonna go into specifics but my first year I sucked hardcore. then I took a year off and worked out, gained about 30-40 lbs and came back a LOT better. Made varsity, but still...

From what I've heard all the talk of downsizing really only applies to those who are trying to re-enlist but have less than favorable records, as well as people who are trying to enlist with drug...

was definitely at a wrestling practice. running up and down a hallway with 25-30 other guys. the air got so thick and humid with sweat it was forming on the walls, the windows and we were even...

haha that is fantastic

I've got a close friend in NROTC at rensellaer polytechnic in troy, NY and from what he says its pretty cool. He just returned (or is returning) from a CONUS mobilization where you go out on a ship...

hahaha "enlist in the Marine Corps, you get a free trip to afghanistan where you get to shoot guns and smoke weed"

thats how i'll get my 2nd right there.

i'm also working on getting my 2nd referral. i've been talking to the recruiters about how they do it and they pretty much said all you have to do is get people in the door, and talk to people that...

Munky when his mom said "they dont fight like we do over there" i believe she meant al-qaeda, the terrorists andwhat have you, not necessarily the other branches of our military considering the...

Yeah dude I was mentally preparing for a crew chief position for 6 months, and I was so psyched only to realize that it's practically the only job I cant have (other than motor T, but that was cause...

Nah I DEP'd in November, and was assigned the AG contract mistakenly, because my vision is only correctable to 30/30. They only caught it because our new RSS SNCOIC was looking through all of the...

well your AG contract is really only rotor wing, since the only jobs included in that are crew chief positions. but coming out of the Corps with x years of crew chief experience under your belt is...

That doesnt make much sense though, shouldnt you be able to ship the week after you go up to MEPS? Why can't your recruiter send you up this weekend and have you take your old spot and ship in...

I had the EXACT same problem as you, and was actually at one point caught between air crew and infantry.

I can tell you this: It all comes down to what YOU want, although air crew might give you...

isn't everyone's goal to get E-3 out of boot? I'm not seeing the downside to more bills in my pocket

When it comes to us poolees, stuff like this gets overlooked all the time, no matter how many people see it, or how many officers or NCOs or recruiters see it, if it didnt get 100% documented up at...

From what i've gathered from my recruiter (whos also in the air wing), every aviation Marine goes through an A, B, and C school. Since the crew chief track is a drop on request option, if you decide...

Well this is the way my recruiter put it to me:

I can do what I want my first four, just to enjoy my job and figure out something I might want to do with my life.

After that (or even first 2 if...

Right now I'm stuck with a comms contract but im patiently waiting to see if I can get infantry... if not, im hoping for a field radio op job to possibly get attached to an infantry unit.

why?...

I had a kid buddy up with me and for a while we had the same ship date, til the recruiters found out I got the last spot for Aug 22, and his ship date got pushed back til november. All depends on how...

I remember hearing somewhere that being an AO wasnt really a formal position, but that they picked up anybody off the flight line to fill a spot on a helo. Could be wrong, but idk

I got a messed up story about MEPS (I guess its MEPS).

So I signed my AG (enlisted air crew) contract some time in early December. My ship date is 20110822, and I find out TODAY, after being given...

Make sure he doesn't forget you, I've seen that happen at my RSS. A few poolees get passed on and the new recruiter doesn't feel as if they're "his" so they dont get as much attention.

RSS peekskill here, dammmn more NY poolees than i thought lol.
