My problems and determination

[Esprit]

So I went to Parris Island did some training and they found out I had mono, I was sick and they sent me home. I loved training and always wanted to be a Marine. I found everything not easy, but fun...I simply loved it. I was put in EHP and that killed my motivation and I hated the Marine...I wanted to go home...if your kept there long enough it breaks you down mentally for anybody who has been there longer than 2 weeks. Now im home and I can't take it. All I want to do is go back and complete training...I can't take being back and im going crazy right now, its all I think about and im heavily depressed, badly. I just want to be in the military, and serve and do it in the Marines. Life sucks right now. Please give me some info on how to cope I need it. I know ill eventually go back but I have to wait.

You have to ask yourself...in your heart and soul...if this is what you really want to do...if the answer is yes, then man the fvck up, heal up and stay motivated, and get back in there and then breeze through it like you own it son!! The Marine Corps isn't going to waste its time with slackers man...they require self-motivators...thats what you have to learn. You have to learn to stave off the depression and try to focus on what needs to be done at hand because thats all thats standing in front of you between you and the dream, understand? Remember these words ok..."Don't think...just do it..."

When you feel yourself getting depressed and lethargic...get dressed and go lift some weights or go for a run...channel that negativity into something positive towrds your goal. I used to hold myself accountable when I got negative I'd make myself do 50 push-ups...you have to stay honest with yourself too!! Try it..it works...!!! Good luck...

Mononucleosis my day was called the "Kissing Disease" so if you pull your boot straps up and get back in.....DON'T kiss the girls or get laid before you go...WAIT until you get back.

On another note....regardless of your dilema..... MOTIVATION comes from within.There is a nothing that can demoralize you unless.... YOU let it. Keep the faith and regain the confidence and start over again. Good luck!

Whoa SSgt, I don't know about you, but when I was in boot my only motivation WAS girls. I knew when I got back those blue trousers with that nice little ribbon and shooting badge on my charlie shirt would get me...friends. Lots of friends.

I could understand not getting laid, don't wanna catch something nasty, but no kissing? Not even little flirts and giggles and caressing them? You can't take away a man's females like that! You can beat the hell out of a man, do whatever you want to him, but the day you take away the fairer sex...is the day that man dies...

Sigh.... I'm off to the airport to wait for one of those double decker planes from Osaka to land again.

Man you haven't learned a dam thing, have you?

[Phantom Blooper]

The reason I said that Matt was because of the kissing got him in this shiat! No seriously that was a nickname. I don't know what causes it and that I guess is like playing with frawgs and letting them pizz on you will give you warts. I think its highly contagious and passed by contact or swapping spit ...hence the name.....get laid if you don't wanna kiss her!

And you super wiener ought to know that shiat! Drink plenty Saki it kills what ails you before...... the plane lands!

Kiss away!

It's usually brought on by exhaustion, to much work not enough rest and stress.
It is highly contagious and sharing a bottle of water or drinking from the same cup can pass it on.

I have to agree with the Corporal. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, I spent over 137 just in FRP & that's not counting the rest of the time on The Island...Guess what, I've been home for almost 3 years trying to get back in...Feeling sorry does nothing for yourself!!! Get well, train & earn that freaking title! END OF STORY!

you are definitely new Corps... talking about having a ribbon right out of boot camp...

one of these days they'll stop handing that out and we can start making fun of the other services for giving out boot camp graduation ribbons.

On Topic: don't let a little thing as not training de-motivate you... just think of the PCP recruits or the broken Marines who have to stay at the depot untill they heal... those are far worse than what you have got. I knew a former fat body who spend 6 months in PCP doing nothing but losing weight and playing the recruit & DI games.... then he got joined to a platoon and spent another 3 months training.

you've got it easy kid... someone always has it worse... and to think, all you have to do is be patient until it's your time again.

let us know when you leave!!

[Achped]

Its not the Marine Corps giving you a ribbon, its the military in general. Everyone on active duty and in the reserves rates the NDSM, and most in the FMF rate the GWOT.

Don't worry SSgt, I'll get my sea service, Iraqi campaign, and good cookie soon enough.

Man you haven't learned a dam thing, have you?

I have, I really have. I learned to not let females f*** with your head. I'm the mofuggin shark around these parts and there are plenty of fish for me to enjoy. Just gotta be safe and stay away from the Japanese shark fishermen who bring their fish with them to Hawai'i!
