One of the Sergeants in my company has a stutter. He gets along just fine...albeit with slightly more drawn out radio chatter. (The best was when the platoon sergeant changed his callsign to giggity!...

Remember that a good laugh can make any ****ey situation better, and that sometimes you don't have to drink the koolaid.

Welcome to the club, brother.

Errr!

Swim Qual is fun, table 2 is a blast, getting mail is always a treat.

Just went through SOI, so I have a current analysis of the situation. Right after the Inferno, sounds cooler than it is, the do the split. For Alpha Co 10-10, they called everyone who wasn't contract...

Ah, the DLAB. Bunch of bollocks. My recruiting station made everyone with higher than a 70 AFQT take it. I was an infantry contract and had no desire to do anything but that. Got a 107, and felt...

I have no doubt that happened (in fact, echo company behind us in the training schedule reportedly fell out with the 240s and the mortar men had to grab em), but no one in Alpha Company IMGC had any...

Like the Cpl said, it's 3, 5, and 8 in 2nd phase then about 10 for the crucible.

At ITB it's 3, 6, 9, 12. The hikes at ITB were much harder than at Boot Camp, despite the differences in length....

...

I got headshots on all my 500yd targets...

Roger that, Staff Sergeant...

But like the posters say, once you have your EGA, you have the strength to do anything.

:evilgrin:

Gonna have to agree with the LCpl on this one. Something seems fishy.

Perhaps, though, you just dropped a coupe of numbers and are in fact asking about the fact that you have an open contract?...

Half to 2/5. other half to 2/8. One unlucky bastard is going to 3/4 all by himself. :(

Got my orders. Headed to 2/5 this wednesday.

Graduating Alphatraz on wednesday. :D

I wasn't telling him about the MOS, just about the training that I am currently going through.

As far as where I am going, we should find out this week, but the rumor is 3/5 or somewhere in 1st....

It's not that I didn;t think that it would be cool, I have wanted to be an Infantry Marine since I was 10, so when the opportunity to achieve that goal and live out that dream came along, I was quick...

Isn't the AG contract enlisted Air Crew? I had that before I got a contract change to Infantry ( got lucky, bonus jobs opened up just before I shipped). If it's what I am thinking, it's a 5 year...

I can tell you that the training for the 31s is pretty damn intense. I have 1 more week here at SOI West until I graduate as a 31.

For one, the weapon systems you work with, the 240, .50 cal and...

Haha, we had some Marines graduate with cammies with their last 4 and name bled through on their backs :D

Check this. You get out of boot camp as much as you put in.

Going through, you will be in a daze the entire way (as it should be.) There will never be a slow moment, except for when you are...

Alpha company was the place to be in boot camp. As far as an Alpha recruit, it has been said before, these are the ones in the upper percentiles as far as ASVAB scores go. I had a 93, this puts me in...

Woo! I love hiking. Sound off '31s! I <3 the .50 cal 20k hike at ITB. 2 weeks to graduation.

OP, You are doing great hiking wise. Just don't hurt yourself before you get there and remember that...

If you get this matter with the ASVAB sorted out and actually make it to boot camp, you will very likely hear a Drill Instructor tell you that you have good initiative and bad judgment .Good on you...

I stowed all Marine Corps memorabilia in a drawer the second I began talking to a recruiter. I knew full well that in time, I would have earned the title, and be able to wear those items as a Marine....

The Lcpl is right about the AG contract. I had it before I was lucky enough to procure a 03 contract. AJ as far as I know does have the option to get into Flight Crew, but I don't think the...

As a recent graduate, I have a lot of respect for Drill Instructors and what they do---make Marines.

I wish you the best of luck.
