Family Night
Last night we had family night with all of the poolees and their families. This was a lot of fun. We had a guest speaker who became very succesful after his Marine Corp. career. And we also got to meet the meanest Marine I have ever met.... Drill Instructor Sgt. Shnubbs (I'm not sure if that is exactly how you spell his name). He gave us a demonstration on how they "teach" recruits, and then gave us an overview of boot camp. All I have to say is that is probably the scariest guy I have ever met in my life. Parris Island here i come

I went to family night a couple days ago too. Whew...that was intense. It was really helpful to get a glimpse as to what the Drill Instructors will be like at boot, though. I got to experience the Drill Instructors up close more than once that night. I guess I'm going to have to get used to that breath of theirs. lol

I've spent 5 months in DEP and I leave in 2 weeks. I never got a parents night, lol. I hear one of the guys leaving from my recruiting station with me is related to a DI there. Maybe, if we get that DI only he will be targeted. Ok, all jokes aside. (yes they were terrible jokes, I know) I nearly died laughing when some of the guys were reading off the info for bootcamp about 8 hours of sleep per night, DI's not cussing or hitting you and things of that nature.
Personally, I feel like i'm read to go. Not like I really have a choice, since I leave on the 30th lol.

For our family day we just talk to the Drill Instructor about what Parris Island was about. Recently though we had a eastern Pool Function and a male and female Drill Instructor from Parris Island came and gave us a G version. They said the minute we step off that bus its R until we walk off the parade deck as Marines.

I love how poolees think all the DI's can do is make you get on the quarterdeck... but I guess thats what happens when you watch documentaries and don't see the real thing...
