I would definately NOT go open contract. I know it's a totally different branch, and the Air Farce to boot, but one of my friends was an electricians apprentice before he joined. He went open...

Just buy it, it's well worth the money. It's much more "harsh" than anything I've seen on TV about boot camp, but to me it seems more like the real deal. I recommend anyone thinking about joining or...

As most of us know, many of our fellow members have recently returned to us with the title of Marine. Here's a special motivational of one of our own's transition from poolee to recruit and finally,...

Best of luck, and come back to us a United States MARINE.

I'll second that. Let it be her decision. I don't know how serious you two are, but me and my GF are going on three years. We've talked about me joining the Corps and although she doesn't want me to...

Congratulations MARINE!!!

Good luck brother. And once again, GREAT video.

Man you wanna talk about support? For those of you that don't know, the President of the United States came to Utah today, and Salt Lake City's very own mayor organized an anti-war/anti-Bush rally...

Great video. I sent it out to a bunch of friends and family.

Here's a video I found on YouTube. It's a recruiting commercial, but I've never seen it before, and thought it was very motivating.

That's definately what they're lacking most.

Pretty similar to Rockabilly's post, but Up-Armored Humvees. There's a lot of IED's over there and not enough Up-Armored Humvees. Real expensive, but would probably save a lot of lives over there.

Once you are in the fight, it is way too late to wonder if this is a good idea.
Helicopters are cool!
It is a fact...

Absolutely, very motivating. I can kinda understand where everyone's coming from. I, like Erik hated high school... while I was there, but when it was over I kinda missed it and had a lot of regrets....

It's been posted before but the Army doesn't train like the Marines train. Everyone here knows that the Marines only have two recruit depots and the training at both is almost identical, but the Army...

If you got the smarts and are physically fit enough, you could go FORCE RECON or SCOUT SNIPER in the MARINES!!!! But thats just my opinion. Do what fits you best.

I play guitar, not nearly as well as these guys, but to be able to play chords that long and that fast DOES TAKE TALENT. I don't care what you listen to, you got to respect the talent. I'm not as...

Hey after living off MRE's for 54 hours, I'd be chowing down too!! Tell her congrats from all of us back here.

If he just got there, you won't be able to send him anything until he sends your family something with his addy on it (Platoon #, Company, etc.).
Absolutely NOTHING but letters.

This is kinda long, but it's a good one. It was writen earlier this year by an australian dentist. It's in reply to a report found in a Pakistani newspaper offering a reward for killing an American,...
