Today (02-24-03), I was promoted to a Cadet Staff Seargent. However, I may be just as you say; an inmature, irresponsible, short fused, punk kid. But my SMI and EMI don't think so. (Or he does but...

why oops? just voicing an opinion

With all due respect, SSgt. Drifter, sir. I don't justify my actions, I just execute them. While others would rather justify themselves standing there and taking it.

That makes good sense. But he didn't really insult "my" pride, just that of my father. And no one does that! My father is the No.1 person in my life, so if anyone insults him, his...

Last post on subject.......
Is there no such thing as harmless joke? If I have offended anyone, I'm sorry. But that's the way I was brought up... Never hurt a woman, Never disrespect the flag or the...

I would never do the same to a DI, or any serviceman. DI's are there to help and train. Sure they use some "Choice names" here and there, but its all constructive critcism in a way. Those DI's and...

I heard from my Senior Marine Instructor that the first two weeks are the hardest. Not to say that the rest is easy, but is the first two weeks really the hardest?

I'm willing to take the risk. I can stand up for my own actions.

I too wish to go to college. But like you, I too, need to know more about the reserves. Hopefully, someone will tell us alittle something.

I have a friend who is going to enlist with me soon. He is a real great guy, and is enlisting for all the right reasons. But, we have another friend (more like an annoyance to me) who has decided to...

I am about to take the ASVAB for the first time in my Junior year of High School. I beleive I'll make a great score in Mechanics, since I am one, but I don't really know the other catagories... What...

I only wish that one day, I too, will have the honor of standing on those yellow footprints in San Diego/ Paris Island. The honor of accepting that Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. The honor of serving my...

Marines are the best in the World, as far as I'm concerned. They are the first to respond to their country's needs, no matter what the danger. King Kong aint got nothing on the Corps! Marine recon is...

I'm going to take the ASVAB in about a week. Any tips? Also, when and were can I take the AFQT? Any tips for it?

Being a winner is good. (In fact, it's the best.) But in the end, being a winner or a loser doesn't matter. As far as I'm concerned, it's okay to be a loser, just as long as your not a quiter! People...

We also have chevrons that have the Lamp of Learning, rather than crossed rifles... I know none of the cadets have earned crossed rifles, but the lamp is kinda weird... every time i look at it, i...

I guess it's the same reason why the inspection crew that came to our ROTC had a problem with our NCO's blood stripes. too thick they said...

MEPS, huh? I guess I'll have to go get one! are they for sale?

What about a shirt saying, "Marines!" (Plural) then it is more of an advertisement, rather than a label?

When our Marine Instructor teaches us in our firing range, he uses the "Slack" term too. I however just tell my team to pick up the D*MN rifle, and send a shot down range into the center of the...

Learning the General Orders and other information that you will soon be required to know, will be useful. Fortunately, I joined my High School's USMCROTC program. Ther I had to learn those things...

I hear that the first two weeks are the hardest. Is that true? If not, what do you think is?

I too had a problem with running. (Main word is HAD.) I couldn't go for more than a mile without feeling a clenching pain in my side. Doctors told me it was a growing pain, an un-stretched muscle,...
