Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll call the local recruiter and ask.

My question is, if I went in my service Charlies would I be out of uniform?

Is there a certain time of year that the uniform changes from service Charlies to service Bravos? Just asking because I am on boot leave and planning to visit the local high school tomorrow. I know...

Greeny, what platoon were you in? Did you hear about what happened between 1008 and some Mike Co. platoon at evening chow during team week?

Zackmerc how do you rebel in bootcamp? You must have been Mike Co. I hope you weren't in that garbage platoon that had that incident with 1008 Alpha at the chow hall.

Platoon 1008 SDI SSgt Rodriguez "Discipline Through Pain"

Thank you all for the warm welcome. As far as the difficulty of boot camp. Some things were easier than others, but when you really want something then nothing else matters. But, you all know that.

I'm back, part of the world's newest batch of Marines. Any questions poolees? And can someone change my status.

Good thing he didn't go for the Nano.

I agree.

Same here. Spending time with my family. Hanging out with my friends. I think I read that Mike Co. picks up when we ship out. Is this true? Does anyone know what kind of reputation Mike Co. has?

I have read Heinlins opinion and I agree with him quite strongly, the only thing is that there are innocent defenseless people out there who can't serve. I also think that men should protect women...

I definately feel you on that. Those posers wouldn't last in my town. Just on my street: My next-door neighbour is a retired Navy diver, my dad is a retired Navy Chief (jet mechanic), my other...

That's why I want to be a Marine. To be the best, and on July 30, 2007, and the proceeding 3 months, I know that some Drill Instructors will make me one.

Also Sgt Tony, my grandpa was way beyond the average drunk who lies. He is a selfish lonely waste of a man. I haven't seen him since I was 4, my only memory of him was "USAF" and an eagle tatooed on...

Maybe I am too shy(as far as being a knot in a log, I don't know). Hopefully the Marine Corps will fix that.

I am on your guys' side. I don't like it either, but this is America. I know that these people wouldn't fight for me, but they are apart of me by being American. Maybe I'm too loyal, and as far as...

Also, at our high schools Veterans Day assembly we had Marines from NAS Whidbey and some EOD guys who, I believe, survived an IED blast. Our stupid chearleaders decided to dress up in all the...

I never said I condone the burning of flags. In fact I believe there was a Supreme Court ruling on flag burning, I don't remember what they ruled, but if it's law then it's law. Also, I don't think...

I hope you guys didn't expect me to back down from my reply.

I do personally know people who have been buried in their uniforms. I grew up in a Navy family, in Navy towns around the world. My dad...

Yeah, I've seen the Queens Bridge rapper Nas wear a Dress Blues jacket. Maybe it wasn't worn properly, but it's his freedom to do so.

I have mixed feelings and that is definately one of them.

We only have a few days left. What are your last words?

I would guess that they just heard some old UDT guys saying Hooyah back in the day and decided to make their own similar chant. It's just an old story I heard. My dad is a retired Navy ADC (Aviation...
