Graduated bootcamp

[joemustang]

hey there fellow devil dogs and all you poolees,

I am a Marine now!!! i earned the title, passed all the challenges, and i owe part of it to the marines that are on this site. When i was in the poolee program i would look at this site almost everyday and get tips on bootcamp and what to expect and it helped me out in the end. Bootcamp is a challenge but it can be done. Once 1st phase is over with, time just seems to fly by. i just wanted to say thanks to all the marines who mentored me and helped me. SEMPER FI!

joemustang,

Welcome back Marine!

It's payback time.

Visit the poolees and share your experiences with them.

Then, when a poolee returns and gives thanks, he'll be thanking you too.

It's part of Semper Fi.

[joemustang]

yellowwing,

yes, i got the ammo tech side of 2311. i believe the school is at Redstone Arsenal in Alabama. i havent been to MCT because of the holidays soo i got PRASP duty until the 20th of January, recruiting is harder than i thought because once you mention Marine Corps they dag on do an about face because they dont have the balls to step up to the challenge. well im gunna go now, but i thank you all for your comments. SEMPER FI!

[yellowwing]

Outstanding joemustang! Not are not that many places that will give that kind of responsibility and experience.

PRASP, I don't know what your recruiter expects of you, but I'd spend alot of time listening and learning. The opportunity to be mentored on people skills for 3 weeks is also invaluable.

[BC22]

Yeah, cold recruting people is a ***** ain' it joemustang? :(

BTW, what company did you graduate with?

[joemustang]

Congrats Marine, welcome aboard!

[namgrunt]

Congratulations, little Brother!
Welcome aboard!!

Can you express, to the remaining poolees, what it felt like the first time you heard yourself called "MARINE" on graduation day? What went through your mind? How long did it take for you to get that "spam-eating" grin off your mug?
Now the work really begins. Good Luck.
