    SITFU and Lat Move later. Seriously-did you think it would be fun all the time? I have to be nice to poolees but honestly, man up and fulfill the contract you signed. Good luck and Semper Fi.

    Suck it the **** up. Everyone hates life at SOI. I didn't want to be an 03 Grunt when I first got there. Talk to you NCO's. I'll never forget the talk me and my C.I. Sgt. Clinton had together. Squared my ass away.

    If anything else. Become a 0341, they don't ****!!!

    I don't think it's possible, unless maybe you had a super high GT score and the Intel MOS' were hurting...other than that, I think you're pretty much committed to the 0300 field.

    I know where this is going.
    It can happen, but most likely it will not.

    Talk to your instructors.

    Whatever happens, don't go UA, claim to be suicidal, or hurt yourself.
    The life gets better.

    HAHAHA! SO TRUE!

    Think about all the poolees in general who are so motivated to join and then end up going UA.

    Devil Dog, things WILL get better. But at first they will only get worse and you will only get hazed and life will suck more and more until you're at you're 3~ year mark then it won't be as bad. Enjoy it!

    Every 03 questions what the got themselves into at one point, even if very brief.
    I did.
    It is not an easy life, but it is rewarding.
    Don't quit now when you haven't even tasted the best part of what it means to be a warrior.

    Wow. I know ITB must suck for y'all, but seriously. You are training to be one of the most elite warriors in the world. If I could trade my spot for the 03 field, I would...

    I started as motor transport and HATED it. But I played the hand I was given until I could move to military police (which was actually a fortunate happenstance that I took advantage of, not an intentional campaign on my part). Never lost the Motor-T primary MOS and had to continually deal with being the unit Motor-T NCO, but I kept slugging.

    But, looking back, had I not been in Motor-T, I probably wouldn't have had many of the positive experiences I had in the Marine Corps. Things happen for a reason.

    Suck it up and drive on. See where the adventure takes you.
