Kill!

Thanks for the support! Ive only been a Marine for a couple weeks now and already I have begun to realize the closeness that we share... heading home from church in my charlies I stopped at best best...

Well I did it... advice? Do what you are told, when you are told, and how you are told, to the best of your ability and with 'speed and intensity'. Thats all you need to know. After three months of...

Yeah pretty sure they're just trying to psych you out. The new Marines at our station say you have to TRY to get out. Think of the DIs creed... its something like 'I will not give up on you even...

Best information source sitting right in front of my nose. Thank you for the prompt response Marine.

I just received my SOU for Small Arms Repair/Technician, I believe the designation is 2111. I was wondering if any Marines out there had experience in this field and could offer me some insight into...

52 days... try not to break a leg.

You will get more Marines to answer if you post in the Ask a Marine forum... just a suggestion.

Get up each morning and give life a good whack on the head! Ive got 58 and 1/2 (yes im counting every hour practically) to go... so next time you get nervous think of all those poor poolees with a...

Well it sounds like you dont have it. Stay motivated, keep working out, and dont lose sight of that EGA pinned on your collar!

My recruiter had told me that you HAD to go infantry to get recon... it was technically possible to go intelligence (which is what I wanted) but they were much more likely to pick infantry (being as...

I wish i rated to say a certain word starting with OO having an R in the middle and ending with AH. But I don't. All i can say is that the Marines are MORE than where its at. All the poolees I have...

Trust me you do NOT want to wait that long. I started off thinking 3 months is a good wait. ITS HELL! And now its too late to move it up if I want to keep my MOS. If I were you I'd talk to my...

My advice is leave the administrating to the Marines who run the site... you're only a poolee (so am I) so don't think you have the right to chew other poolees out. I think that is reserved for the...

I'm not worried about bootcamp... but how the hell did you deal with the wait beforehand? Its killing me. I am in a small area and we only have one recruiter so our functions are few and far between....

99 on the ASVAB. Tried to get counterintelligence but my SSGT said I would have to wait so I went for MP. Shipping 1112010, the wait is hellllllllllllllllllll.

service to the US of A. if your gonna serve, serve with the best. if im in combat i want to know that the guy covering my rear has the best training in the world.
army is great but there is one...

Once again thanks Marines for clearing that up. I will talk to my recruiter as soon as i get back in town.

Thank you for clarifying that Marines! I look forward to 'not being called a soldier'!

Why is it that...

A) You never call a Marine a soldier.

and

B) You don't call Marine Drill Instructors drill sergeants.

Can someone explain these important rules to me?

When is the screening supposed to take place? I have already DEPed in and am about to sign my final contract... should i have seen a DIS Agent already?

What is a DIS Agent and when will this screening happen?

(I would like to once again thank all Marines who have replied it is a great reassurance.)

Thank all of you Marines for helping me sort this out. Ill try to talk to my recruiter but if he still says I should stay quite who should i go to? Remember his boss said the same thing...

Let me preface this post by saying that I have searched extensively to find an answer, and although all the Marines on the forum have been extremely helpful, none of the posts represented my...

i have a paid for speeding ticket that i was told not to disclose. will i get to boot camp and then be sent home because it is discovered? being a Marine is my main goal in life right now and i was...
