The Lioness Program ended awhile ago and has since been replaced by the Female Engagement Teams, then something else I don't remember. Anyway those programs are now over with in AFG as their role...

Your recruiter was basically saying you won't have time to F with it until then. You have to contact the pay people at Admin. I don't know much more than that as I haven't done it in years.
...

So The MWR is often an actual building where junior Marines go hang out. They have internet, junk food, pool tables, movies, games, etc. What I was referring to are the MWR programs, I think they...

Don't worry about the 'wear the wings thing.' Its just that you want to do something to distinguish yourself from others. That's not a terrible thing, but realize that you will be forever labelled...

What he is saying is that drug deals can be made and pretty much anyone can get a seat at jump school. There are a lot of seats out there, and they often go unfilled. The issue is most commands...

And get your feet fitted for your stride. You won't be able to use those shoes in bootcamp...but its always good to know what kind of pronation your natural stride is. After bootcamp, you'll notice...

If you are still in school see if you can join a running club or practice with the CC or track team. You could even join those teams and just be JV or race open events. Its good to have some...

Congrats! Hope he has fun at SOI this time of year!

...though I believe you need to be AD first, before going in the reserve wing as a pilot.

I would highly recommend attempting commission from the get go, vice attempting to transition later on. ...

Is it too late for you to go to ROTC?

You are DEPing as a reservist: does that mean you are in the CAT-P?

They are really pushing out junior officers and making it even more competitive for...

One thing to consider would be the drawdown's effect on the MOS. Most 0231's I talked to did the majority of actual work on deployments. With the Marine Corps thinning out, it may become a hard...

.....and also what The Wookie said.

For striking, your stances and blocks will be very different than shotokan karate. Some of the strikes are the same, but you won't really be learning oizuki/seikenzuki/munetsuki or whatever you want...

...that and it will depend on the job/MOS he will be doing. The field, as mentioned above, will be a no-no..but also if he's going to be a mechanic or something like that. They will let him know. ...

MCCS, and retailers approved through that system, is your safest bet. Check with your command as they may have resources and guidance of their own.

Best of luck.

Well it may be easier to LAT move within your battalion but there is no guarantee an 0231 will get stationed at 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Intel Bn (where the companies are). The 0211 MOS requires a LAT move...

You should never get below a first class PFT or CFT unless you have some sort of medical issues, or are old.

That being said, when I went through bootcamp it was really hard not to graduate....

Yeah, that's true. You likely won't be stationed in Jacksonvile or something like that. I think a lot of the allure of billets like AR or I&I is the static location and separation from the FMF.

Please get in contact with your closest CI/HUMINT reserve unit and they will direct you on how to apply for the MOS. If you pass initial phone interview and personal screening they will pay OPM for...

Don't put yourself in a critical MOS or you will be hard pressed to find a command willing to let you go. It is a good idea to find an MOS that will deploy you once or twice before you pick up Cpl...

Balancing reserve and civilian life is tough for many reasons. Your civilian life gets constantly interrupted at the most inconvenient times. The requirements don't sound like much, but its more...

Working with another branch of service that goes through the trouble of writing you up with one of their awards is a great accomplishment! There is so much pain and politics with awards with Marines...

All depends on your rank. If you are an SNCO with guys under you...you should probably get new boots. If you are junior, Cpl or below, I would say a good rule of thumb is after you get yelled at...

Often jump school is offered as a reenlistment bonus (rather than money, sometimes school seats are offered). Also, I saw some officers in jump school that were there simply because they picked up...

I would go to 1, 2, or 3rd In Bn find out where their CI Co is, and talk to the OJT manager. Not sure if they are even accepting SSgt lat-movers right now. Pretty much any info you would need is...
