2nd lt. with jump wings and dive

[Petz]

the army?

and as far as I know the only group who needs HA LO is recon or MarSOC... the basic jump school would give you LA HO training from a static line (static jump) and maybe HA HO... but I could be wrong on that... that's more for gear... right?

you right about the lo ho thing on the east coast but i talked to someone who had gold wings and requested halo school and went to the west coast to go do it.

so ssgt your motor t

[Petz]

yes... and?

[Supersquishy]

Yuma, AZ I think is where the Army does HAHO or HALO too. I got the opportunity to ride with the Golden Knights during their training, 14,000 foot drops. Rode jump seat in the cockpit then right next to the jump door. Those guys were nuts, they tried to get me to go tandem, they said they need the practice, no thanks, declined after seeing what they did.....somersaulting and diving out. Now I find this ironic as Im going for Anglico and thats a jump billet, I can't wait! (seriously!) You only live once so what the hell!

I thought Marines and USMC and Marine Corps was all supposed to be capitalized.

I also thought there was a set of rules on how to post a thread or reply.

Something about whether your English teacher would approve of your text.


Anyhoo, I agree, this is a good thread. Some of the stuff should go PM so it doesn't get locked down, IMHO!!

Why does it matter?

Why does it matter?

What does what matter??

[Artemis]

Maybe because it is proper English? Maybe because it is a pride thing? Maybe if you don't like it you can leave?

Maybe this would help.

Rule One you are not a Marine and this is a Marine site therefore you have no rights and are merely a guest that we wish to help achieve your goal!

Rule Two before you post a thread make darn sure that you have researched the forums so that you are not embarrassed by the fact it was asked a week ago!

Rule Three when using the words Marine or Corps on this site they will be capitalized at all times!

Rule Four make sure that you have a completed profile less than that is unsat and will get you banned for a period up to and including permanently!

Rule Five be courteous at all times with your peers and especially with Marines, if you verbally attack someone you will be dealt with severely and disrespect to a Marine will not be tolerated!

Rule Six never use the words Semper Fi, Semper Fidelis or OORAH you do not rate that here until you have earned the title of United States Marine!

Rule Seven the forums are not social a chatroom if you want to speak to a peer in that way do it on PM or by email or in the chatroom!

Rule Eight when you post make sure that it looks like you are submitting it to your english teacher for their determination whether you pass or fail!

Rule Nine make sure when you post a thread its in the proper forum, you do not rate to post in a Marine forum at any time prior to earning the title. Read the headings over the recruit forums for a guide!

Rule Ten there will no political threads or posts of any kind in the recruit forums, you are here to concentrate on the yellow foot steps not politics!

Rule Eleven be ready and flexible to accept any and all new rules and criticism at all times. Use your time here to prepare yourself for the greatest challenge you will ever face!

Rule Twelve your profile must include your ship date. This is to validate you against some wannabe that calls him or her self a Poolee. Only Poolees have ship dates not wannabes.

I'm including some recent links for rules that back these up below. I am also including a Drill Instructors thread of a list of what you may take to MCRD when you ship anything more is unacceptable! As you can see it is a very specific yet there are five pages of of questions again that is unacceptable. If you cant make it here you will not be able to survive recruit training.

Al... those are for the Poolees.....

Al... those are for the Poolees.....

I agree, but is it to imply that Marines don't have to follow the rules?

Besides, as Danielle wrote -

Maybe because it is proper English? Maybe because it is a pride thing? Maybe if you don't like it you can leave?

[Petz]

yeah, I thought that was accurate... I simply stated it before he did.. we won't argue.

Battalion Recon has guys that need it but can't get into the HALO school.
HALO is one of the most exclusive schools in the .mil.
If you're not a HSLD type you are in the right place at the right time to go to that school.
