He's on drill pay now. He will get paid following drill periods ONLY. No more 1st and 15th for your son. Usually it takes 1 week +- a few days for admin to process his pay. I'd say if he goes two...

I'm commissioning and want a better handle on my place as a Lieutenant in our great Corps. So have at it Marines, what did your officers do that I can learn from?

For your thesis I would make it that the Marine Corps should go to a more choice based chow hall menu while maintaining the same physical standards (I mean, it makes sense). For your arguments I...

Yeah man go for it, makes it easier since you don't have to change. But yeah you will get bombarded with people thanking you for service, which can be annoying. Also if you want to eat some fat and...

I'm a reservist and full time (15 hours) student at Texas A&M. I drill about 3 hours away from College Station, so the drive sucks on the gas bill. That is defiantly the biggest downside in my...

As it has been said, you can not take tobacco products to recruit training. However, I had 3 guys in my platoon that collected butts from outside the chow halls and got enough they could smoke the...

I went to MOS school with a Marine that was prior service in the Army (8 years 2 deployments). He was held to a higher standard, but he was more than ready for it. In bootcamp he held a squad leader...

Haha, nope it's good Powerade!

You do have a chance on the Crucible to use the small coffee packets that come in the MRE's. However, be careful your body isn't used to it at that point so be prepared to be...

Just wanted to say thank you to all of the Poolees on here that have helped me out. Can't wait until I ship! Anyone else leaving on June 6?

I discovered an old picture in my garage of a Marine. I was curious as to where I may go on the internet to find out more about him.

Thank you very much sir!

I guess now my question is do you think it is a good idea to do the IIADT while I am in college if my ultimate goal is to seek a commission?

We have 16 Poolees. They consists of a guide, and 3 squad leaders. We also have backup squad leaders to take place if needed. Our recruiters run PT, the guide is just a motivator, instructor,...

Good afternoon Marines,

My name is Travis Gale. I am a current poolee from Fort Worth, TX with the shipdate 20110606. My goal is to commission in the Marine Corps. My current contract is the...

Hey although you may have your own opinions, I don't think it's right for you to be expressing them in such an offensive way. If you want to be successful in the Marine Corps you will need to learn...

I swore in at MEPS as my actual swear in.
Then on Veterans Day I swore in at Dallas. Got to meet Gov. Rick Perry, and listened to several General's give great speeches. It was awesome!

Well, if he does pass it let's hope he's just Army strong!

I am under contract as an 0844 Field Artillery Fire Control Man. But I was wondering if any 08's had some experience with 0847's. There is an opening and my recruiter said that the job doesnt come...

Wow small world.

Although this is sad that people like that want to be in the Corps. Look on the bright side. Can you even contemplate how funny it would be to have him in your platoon at boot camp? Aside from...

I scored a 89 AFQT, And I am contracted for 0844 Field Artillery Fire Control Man.
