It's been my observation that the wiry scrapper type who can run/hump faster/longer has an easier go of thing vs. the jacked Marine (though there are exceptions). Gear fits better, more...

TeeJay whatever you decide to do make sure you've got this issue squared away before you enlist. To be perfectly clear you should not enter the Marine Corps with any sort of debt or an idea that the...

I've got one day and a wake up before my honorable discharge. These last four years in the infantry have been the most memorable to date. You have to understand our country is still very much at war....

They began phasing in the Osprey during my second deployment and I got a ride out of dodge on one earlier this year. Lot of my buddies didn't take well to the sort of 'gravitron' feeling you get when...

CWalling glad you enjoyed the video.

As for your question, I'll have to go back and take another look. It was a Sgt buddy of mine who was running the lane and I remember him breaking the fire team...

I wanted to keep the thread alive and post another video. Made this one from footage of our scout training last week. Disregard the shirtless intro, it's an inner-company joke.

One thing I forgot to mention above, DO NOT be the Marine or Poolee who supplies alcohol to anyone underage. In the fleet you will be standing tall in front of the man alongside the underage Marine...

Poolees let this be a lesson. O'l boy here may have just screwed himself out of a great enlistment/career because of the decision he made. This subject hits home with me as I've got four Marines in...

28 back in '05. I'll be turning 32 and EAS'ing in Febuary. Having a platoon of buddies in their late teens and earlier twenties for the last four years was exactly what an old man like me needed to...

Damn woody, you gotta be the saltiest Lance on the boards here. Don't forget you're still a boot till you come back from the sandbox. You know how it works in the infantry. Semper Fi brother.

Things are changing however, at least for deployment wear.

For the first half of my last deployment we were all issued and required to wear flight suits. It had to do with the fire-retardant...

I'm 95% positive this is BenW523 posing as a new member. The recruiter phone number is bunk as well.

Stop talking like a valley girl first off.

This is pretty standard. Offices usually shift bodies around if it's looking like they may not make the current or next month's quota mission. It may be...

Ok so you have Marines here telling you to wait and you have dismissed the advice. I guarantee if you told me your reasons right now I could help you make sense out of them. I know at your age...

That's fine but you don't have to be a Marine to view this site. That's all I'm saying. That info above looks benign but what's the point of having a secure system for Marines if anyone can just have...

Probably want to refrain from posting info like that in a public forum. Marine's BTR info is sort of 'need to know'/inhouse stuff unless said Marine volunteers it.

He's probably a clerk with admin MOL/NMCI access.

There's actually some buzz swirling around the media about McCain voting against (or simply not showing up to the vote) this bill and his reason is one that I agree with.

Simply put, this new bill...

Well you didn't have to. Sounds like you let yourself get steamrolled. You go open contract and you waive your right to pick your own MOS.

Have no idea what "moral waivers" are but something...

Again, don't sign anything until it's got what you want on it. This isn't complicated.

Pressure from the recruiters to join the DEP and become a poolee? Tough. Who cares.

Pressure from within...

Brittany it sounds like you may have one too many caveats above for the Corps' patience level. If you are half committed to becoming a Marine and half committed to schooling... it's not enough for...

The most memorable recruit terms cannot be printed here unfortunately.

UPDATE: My lucky ironman has been claimed. No more PMs please.

Haaa.. Ya sonic thanks for being a good sport here. No worries about the $100 g-shocks. They are nice. I'm just cheap.

I remember going with a buddy last year to the PX because he needed a watch....

Not a stupid question. You are going to want to go digital here for purposes of synchronization with your platoon or fire team before a mission that involves pieces/people moving around the...
