While this Thrsday's chat was my job and all, I have elected to discontinue it effective next thurstay (June 12, 2008)! The attendance had been down and it is next to impossible to get a host from the Poolees that are willing to give thier time to host the chat. Also It seems that poolees are more comfortable with the "sunday chat" more than they are the "Thursday chat".

This will be a purely poolee function as I will be the only Marine on the site, of course if I have to leave I will have a substitute to fill in for me, but you will know who they are. We "NCOICs" will be there to keep you poolees on track and to keep you from turning it into myspace or text message! In other words we will be there to make sure you stay within the rules of the site! Marines will not answer any questions, hovever thay are invited to ask as many Corps questions as they wish, just to keep the group moving along and learning. They are not there as a source of individual answers, Keep it in a TEAM atmosphire so all will learn, OK?

Chat room rules are simple for poolee chats:

1) The host will ask questions

2) The poolees/wannabees will answere them

3) Any Marine that does choose to visit us may ask any Corps related
question he wants and has presidence over the poolee host' question.
4) Marines, active duty or Former, will use the "open forum" or the "Marines only" section for thier chats during Poolee chat.

5) No Poolee or wannabe will go to the other rooms during chat then return, those rooms are for our "Marines" and "Marine Friends".

6) No direspect to anyone will be tolorated during the chat time...NONE!

7) Because of the Females in the room we will all refrain from colorful language, due to the Sexual Harrassment laws! Keep it civil!

8) Official chat closes at 2300 EST, all school age participants must log off the site at that time!

9) Professionism will be maintained during the entire chat, no joking etc!

10) the poolees left "on the poolee chat room area" after 2300 can leave or stay that thier pleasure, it pretty much turns into a chat at that time!

There are 10 rules for you to remember...only 10.

I want to personally invite each and every poolee/wannabee to attend on Sunday evening and get a head start learning your Boot Camp Knowledge! This will be taught by a person that knows his/her stuff.

The room is big enough for all that want to attend, so get your paper, pencil, glass. or can, of soda, popcorn, sandwich together, go to the head, scratch yourself, change cloths....whatever, but be ready to start poolee chat at 2100 EST, 2000 CST, 1900 MST and 1800 PST!

Lets keep this Chat alive and everyone get in there and learn every Sunday!

Thanks

Dave

I go talk with a recruiter tomorrow for the first time.

I guess I have some questions about what jobs are available, and concerns about needing a waiver. ( i took an antidepressant for a week, like a month ago, just to see how it would affect me). On the phone today, he made it seem like it wasn't a big deal, so im not too worried about it.

What else should i be asking him?

Are you within the weight requirements? Also you more then likely to ship after oct 30th as most jobs are gone and the new fiscal year is after then. As far as other questions that's for you to decide. If you don't know any or remember some after the fact I'm sure you can call him or it's most likely been asked on here.

[AlanJames]

I probably won't be leaving to boot camp until after october? is that what you said boblasek? whats that mean?

[boblasek]

Yeah that's what I meant. Because there are so many people trying to enlist there aren't many jobs left for people to choose from unless they wait till the "new job year". Every year in October they open up new jobs for people to choose from. They are limited towards the end of the fiscal year and this year went by quite fast or so I was told. Can someone confirm on this?

Example: my buddy from work dep'ed in about a month or so after me but he had to wait till after october to get the MOS he wanted. If he were to go with me he would have had a very slim picking of jobs and im sure ones he wouldn't have wanted.

[AlanJames]

Dang, thats six months in DEP before i can sign the paper, huh?

I guess thats not rally so bad, cuz its four years- I'll just have to hope for the best tomorrow.

[boblasek]

No, you will sign your contract. It whats called an OPEN contract. After you will choose your MOS with your recruiter. Then either a week before or on your ship date you sign your Final contract with your MOS and ship date on it.

[Pandza03]

Man, only 3 (including myself) showed up tonight, well, that was around 7:21 EST.

:cry:

[boblasek]

I was there at 5:50pm PST and was there for over an hour. There was at least 7 of us :) is that the norm?

[DGardner]

My apologies for not being there to host last Sunday.

Poolee chat will be on this Sunday at the normal time. Be there.

[Teak]

Chat Time all Poolees and Wanna bes:evilgrin:

[DGardner]

Poolee Chat is tonight. I'm back to being the host. Be there. :beer::banana:

[DGardner]

Poolee Chat is tonight. I'm back to being the host. Be there. :beer::banana:
That's at 2100 Eastern time, which was 10 minutes ago.

[DGardner]

Well, I've waited for 30 minutes. I will be out of town next Sunday so I will try and find someone to run the chat. That is, if you want to continue the chat. I'm sure it's my fault for being inconsistent with the Poolee Chat.

So... I'm leaving it up to all of the Poolees and Wannabes of Leatherneck:

Weekly Poolee Chats. Yes or No? You decide. I'll come back and check before Sunday and see if I should bother lining someone up to host this week.

[introspect]

Apologies DGardner, I ship next Monday so I made it a point to get on the day before yesterday for poolee chat and for some reason something came up at exactly 2100 when it was supposed to start, and I also saw nobody in the poolee hall chat. But, I will most definitely be there next Sunday because I probably won't be able to sleep knowing recuit training is the next day. But I definitely need to brush up on a lot and so do my other fellow poolees so I'd like to see you host it, please :)

Thanks a lot

[Hartford]

Anyone still sign on for these? I'll check later tonight.

[Endurance89]

There will be a revival this coming Sunday. Let's get a good turnout, fellow Poolees! If you don't know how to access the chat, scroll to the very top of the page, and click on "chat;" it's on the same bar as "forums," and "My Info."

[sparkie]

good job, Enduance,,,,,[ You might want to wear a cup] Good to see it up again.

[Endurance89]

Cup is at the ready, flame shield fully charged as well, Sir!

[MarinesFTW]

Sorry everyone! My internet went down yesterday afternoon and it didn't get fixed until this morning. I hope someone took over, once again I am sorry hopefully it wont happen again.

[Yonkers]

Aye, Aye, Sir!

[0300ninja]

Im glad to see that there are many others as motivated as i am. In my pool there are only a few others that are Moto, the rest are just doing enough to get by and some arent even doing that much. Count me in!
