    My advice is have your wife (or her leadership) talk to the SEA about it and see what he has to say.

    This is a very true statement. I just reenlisted in conjunction with a lat-move. It was time consuming and a bit nerve-racking at times, but here I am at my new school awaiting it to start.

    I don't know where the top is supposed to fall, but mine falls like an inch or two above the waist, when I'm standing up, not moving. I'm currently home on RA and my recruiters' jackets all fall a...

    Parris Island.

    Speaking of PI in the summer, I graduated at the end of June. I'm from Ohio, it was horrid.

    Yes, the warmup suits are standard issue now, but of course not everyone has been issued one yet. It might be kind of a phasing in process.

    I believe all he means by the "Alpha" thing actually has nothing to do with Boot Camp. All it is is that if you score a 50 or above it basically qualifies you for any MOS in the Marine Corps, based...

    Cryptolinguists definitely get a bonus. Not sure what it is for someone enlisting into the field, but this FY an E3 or below lat-moving into the MOS receives a $50k bonus.

    Again, ask a recruiter.
