    Thumbs up Motivational Story from today

    So me and my recruiter were working this fair up by the station trying to get me some recruits so i can get my promotion and we had atleast 20 people come up to us and just say thanks and it's just really good knowing there are people out there that understand and respect what your doing it's rather motivational

    Seen a kid in a truck with a Marine sticker on it. I assume his dad or sibling was in the Corps. Noticed him looking over at my truck as I pulled off the highway. Saluting me. Gave me chills. Nice to know people out there understand and respect it with the level it deserves. Truly a brotherhood with deep roots.

    yeah and we have a poolee function every week with our recruiters and we run about 3 miles and do workouts and theres something about being in that formation that makes you overcome all the pain and you just keep going being in form running to cadence is really motivating plus if i fall behind they run in circles till i catch up

    I'd laugh if your recruiter was to see this. I'd pay for tickets to the nice pt session he would give you. Watch the context of what you say. You never know who is watching. If your RSS isn't pt'ing as they should be. Get together with fellow poolees and pt yourselves. Nothing better then motivating yourself. Look at it as practice for boot camp. Stay motivated

    I said right now. I did not criticize anyone, just mostly saying that my recruiter has been busy with all his trips to MEPS and what not.

    He knows I look up to him, i love that guy man.

    But yes lol i shouldnt have said that and if i get my ass kicked in p/t bring it on.

    but i work out everyday. no job so just pt all day everyday man.
