if you want I would be happy to volunteer to mail you letters while you are in boot camp. I am stationed in Camp Pendleton (45 min drive from San Diego), so it wouldn't be a problem at...

Lizz,

I think you would be a great Marine, but I think you need to commit your time into research on each branch and mos that might interest you. I would start there and whatever you find in which...

Endlesspower,

I would call another recruiting station or request another recruiter. I don't understand what your recruiter is saying, but it doesn't make sense. If you graduated high school, what...

I will say this though, the Marine Corps is downsizing and the demand for infantry is not what it once was. I would not be surprised if you have to wait till next october before another slot opens...

Tigerotter,

In my honest opinion, if you want infantry then tell your recruiter that you don't want to ship unless you have a infantry mos. When I enlisted, I told my recruiter exactly what I...

VincentV,

Unfortanently you will not be able to carry this religious piece all the time in boot camp. I mean, I don't see why you can't keep it in your money valuable bag. There will be a lot of...

I just graduated from C school last week, and yes we still have Post. In Pensacola we had 9 hour posts, but at C school we only had 3 hour posts.

DesertCandy, My best advice would be for you to give a recruiter a call. I would tell him your situation and he should be able to help you get your ducks in a row and possibly enlist.

To be perfectly honest, the best person to ask about this is your recruiter. However, my personal opinion is no you would not have to have a waiver.

Hope this helped,

That still applies for boot camp swim qualifications today! :-)

I agree with everything these Marines are telling you, Devil Dog Tony. I wanted to go infantry when I first looked into the Marine Corps, but as Fortune would have it I happend to talk a USMC grunt...

@Pereira
I enlisted at age 22, and my recruiter didn't even hint that my age would be an issue. There were many recruits that I saw in boot camp who were older than I was. I would just find another...

Cortex, If I understand your situation correctly, could it be that he is making you sign an open contract after you went to meps the first time? I am trying to think back to when I had to deal with...

Yank, why do u have to go now? U can exit the DEP and wait till next year close to October when they come out with a new number of slots to fill and get an MOS u want. The downfall is u won't be able...

BE THE ONE!!! who takes more than what is being suggested to you. :D
What you have been recommended to bring is what you bring, your recruiter should of told you what to and what not to bring.
...

How serious is your ankle injury? The reason why I ask is because boot camp is going to involve a lot of hiking, which is going to be hard on your ankles. To answer your question, from my knowledge...

Well to piggy back off of what has just been suggested to you, Obviously I think you should finish college. If you really want to join the USMC then I would go the Officer route. Since the Marine...

HAHAH Hurry up an wait.. oh brother this is just the tip of the ice berg.. everything in the Marine Corps is hurry up and wait.

You should give that recruiter a call every single day at exactly...

Lol I know it depends on the person, but say you get the minimum requirements to go to boot camp. You ARE going to lose weight.. I went to boot camp weighing 165pds and came out weighing 145pds... I...

Miguel,

Good luck to you man, looks to me you right on track physcially. Now it's just the mental game of enduring hell for 3 months. I graduated MCRD San Diego back in April, and man does it...

I just graduated boot camp last friday April 13th. Seeing as this is a Marine Community, you are going to have a lot of topics and Posts about PT. However, one thing I wish I would of worked on more...

Yes Ma'm.. I think I justed had a Homer Simpson moment where I say "Duhoo!.. I think I will chug on over to the Rules and get some knowledge before I make another post. I am very sorry..

Thank...

Thank you Sir, and I apologize.
