they (my recruiters) wont let me pick my MOS until I go down to MEPS..and I cant go to MEPS until a couple days before I ship...its like rush rush...better than hurry up and wait. I actually would like to be 4421/legal specialist..but who knows if ill get it. I used to be Motor T in the Guard and MP in the active Army...I just did an IST yesterday,my PT needs some work..

just do one thing when you get to meps. as you know if you do not have paper work you wont get crap. don't go open contract and fight for what you want. also your pt will get better, just keep working on it. boot camp will put you through worse, but it will be worth it when you recieve the title at the end. I love doing this.

Reading this was helpful and brought back memories from some of the people I've seen enlist in the USMC. Thanks for the laughs, info and memories.

Such useful information! Thank you so much, Marines.
I ship in just over two weeks( :]!! :]!!), and have been wondering for quite some time about the odds of developing cellulitis? I get the gnarliest silver- dollar blisters... physical therapists say I have "soft skin". Awesome. Any advice on keeping your feet dry, and clear of infection? Will I have the opportunity to buy Moleskin padding? Would you recommend doubling up on socks? This may seem like a petty issue, but I can only expect the worst. I've had a few nightmares about being in the sick platoon. Any advice regarding blister care would be super helpful.
Thank you!! :]

I'd like to add to Xena's question if I might. I tend to get horrible blisters on my feet as well. A couple months ago our RSS took us on a 12 mile hike on pavement. It rained a good portion of the time and we got pretty miserable and wet. A day afterwards the balls of my feet were blistered and raw then the skin came off. Im wondering if I can look forward to this kind of thing happening in RT or is there a way to avoid it?
