D*** I'm Ready!
Hello, I am Poolee Warren Shipping to PI 20080527. About a week ago I started noticing the Jitters, I had them bad, but knowing everyone gets them I didn't worry. Last nite I watched the movie "Ears Open, Eyeballs Click" for about the third time straight through, lost count of how many time my recruiter showed pieces of the movie. Anyways, as I watched it i started noticing those jitters of nerviousness turn to jitters of excitement and modivation. I have finally passed an IST completely with the addition of a few pullups and am amped to head out and earn the title of United States Marine. The only day i am looking forward to now is August 22nd, PI graduation. Now I'm not an idiot and realize that i will get the jitters and second thoughts at MEPS and on the bus ride there, but those feelings won't bring my modivation down one bit. I just want to tell all the new poolees that since i DEPed in on 20070914 I have grown stronger and smarter, and that your ship date is A LOT closer then you think! So start now and get ready, physically, learn, your general orders, and watch "Ears Open, Eyeballs Click" more then once, It Will Modivate You! Thank you to all the Marines on this site for your knowledge and input that have given me the ability to say I am ready to go. D*** I'm Ready to go!

I feel the EXACT same way rsox353!! I am also shipping out to PI on the 27th, and I couldn't be any more excited!! (Only I'll be representing the females) Of course I'm nervous, but not in an apprehensive way. They're more of a "lets do this and kicksome a** while we're there" kind of jitters. And you're right, the time does fly. Once you DEP it seems like your ship date will never come but it will faster than you think. Only 18 more days : ) ! This website has helped me so much for my preparation to leave! Thank you everyone and god bless you.

June 2nd is getting here fast.
I realize i've only got three weeks left and it feels like nothing.
I'm not gonna see alot of my friends from high school after this, so I'm trying to have some fun before I leave.
Responsible fun.
But I'm so ready to do this.
Do work, son.

You guys will do fine. Keep the image of your self at the end of boot camp getting your EGA's for your uniform and being called MARINE. A great feeling of pride and accomplishment that I will never forget.

Yesterday was Indiana's statewide pool function and they brought in real drill instructors to yell at us and what not. His name was SSGT Portina from SD i do believe, but anyway that was sooooo motovating I can't wait to leave for MCRDSD on June 26th now. Like fs19 said a little nervous but so excited i can barely contain it.

Georgia had the same state-wide function.
He had something like a field day at Dobbins.
Those DI's were pretty intimidating.

I'm ready to leave too, I ship August 24th. Next week is our statewide pool function, but I don't know if I'll be able to attened since I'm struggling in my senior year right now. But I lived with a DI so I already know how intimidating they can be and how they "freakout" in 0.0003 seconds.

You all should have seen the ones who showed up last night... I thought a guy with thick, bushy black hair and fire-engine red streaked highlights was going to cry when the Barber left it on the floor...
