Hi I'm new to the website

[thirsty4blood]

i enlisted back in october of 07
and have been training heavily
i leave to SDMCRD on August 4th of 08
i started off by not being able to do 1 pullup
to ten now
not being able to finish the mile
to gettin my mile and a half in under 9
to maybe finishing 50 crunches to doing 115 in 2 minutes
i feel pretty confident about all my knowledge
and i think i'll do alright

if i want guidon in bootcamp should i start learning drill now?????:iwo:

[Wyoming]

[thirsty4blood]

you should get assigned your platoon together. you should know your platoon before you leave. once you get there they will most likely change it so your together, that happened with a couple guys in my platoon.

dont worry about learning drill, your Drill Instructors will have their own way of teaching it, so anything you learned now would be a waste. just start off on your left foot, and say the diddys in your head. youll be alright. being guide isnt all about Drill.

Read all of the Sticky Posts in the Poolee Hall. They include rules and tips. Including using proper capitalization.

Will Do. Soorry about that, also thanks for the advice.

Good to go. Not that we are on the same page, your PT motivation is very good. As far as Guide do you have any Leadership experience in school, sports, or Boy Scouts?

[thirsty4blood]

I do have Leadership experience as i used to be captain on my soccer team, I have also been attending every pool function for the past 6 months and have become sort of an example for the newer poolees.

[yellowwing]

Excellent. You should be tried out as a Squad Leader at least. Of course its more than the basics of drill. The maturity to perform and Lead under stress is essential. Your determination and drive to PT is part of that Character.

[thirsty4blood]

Thanks a lot for the advice. I got two guys to elnist so I'm supposed to get PFC after graduation, if I graduate Squad Leader would I be able to get Lance Corporal?

[yellowwing]

As Squad Leader, probably not. Earning The Title is what its all about. Do a site search on Covey_Rider. He was the last one here to Earn L/Cpl out of Boot Camp.

And make sure yor Recruiter has those 2 referrals documented and that you are Guaranteed PFC.

[thirsty4blood]

Okay thanks I'll ask Covey_Rider. My Recruiter does have those two referrals down, I'll make sure though.

[DGardner]

Thirsty For Blood,,,,,,,I hope you grow up your name,,,,,,, Blood runs, usually into dirt,,, and usually it's your buddies, unless you are the lucky one. Do you even know what your wishin for ?????? We've seen this blood,,, and you know? It's a little more red than a rose can handle

[sparkie]

Grow the Fuk up. :evilgrin:

[LittleMissStretch]

um...I don't want to seem rude or get out of line or anything of the sort but I do believe the purpose of this thread was for a new Poolee to ask a question. I do apologize for participating in it getting out of hand....But, in any case Welcome to LeatherNeck Juan.

[DJA20080211]

Grow the Fuk up. :evilgrin:

Sorry about that Sergeant, just an attempt at some light hearted humor.

[thirsty4blood]

Sorry i took so long to reply but i was at my weekly Poolee Function . I am thirsty for blood and i do want to and will prove it. I know a lot of Poolees come in and say oh i want to kill bla bla bla, but i want nothing more in this world than to be a United States Marine.i know its all just talk right now but i want to kill America's enemies!!All I want is grunt.

I don't mean to come off as an overexxagerator or anything like that..

with respect,
Thirsty4Blood

[thirsty4blood]

Thanks forall the reply's and welcomes.
Thanks LittleMissStretch

You used to be captain of your soccer team and you can't run a mile?

To become a leader in the Corps you are going to have to lead by example.

Good luck, keep it real.

[thirsty4blood]

I said that when i enlisted back in october I could
barely finish a Mile. Now I can run for at least ten miles nonstop.
I was captain of my soccer team two years ago, then I started working at Mcdonalds.lol. The rest is history.

So since October, roughly nine months ago when you couldn't run a mile, you can now run like the wind for AT LEAST 10 miles because you don't eat any burgers anymore?

You should go on Oprah..

My bullshiat detector is like a dog in heat on the scent of some tizail.

Like I said, good luck, but save the stories for the boys room...

[thirsty4blood]

Excuse me Sargeant but may i ask what it is you think im BSing you about?? i been PTing like crazy.. i run everyday and lift 5 times a week.

[sparkie]

[thewookie]

YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND START FROM THE FIRST STICKY POST IN THE POOLEE HALL AND READ. AND READ SOME MORE, THEN READ AGAIN.

AND, YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SPELL MY RANK.

WHY DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I THINK YOU ARE BSING ABOUT?

HAVE I NOT BEEN CLEAR TO YOU?

WHY?

BECAUSE YOUR STORY SOUNDS FISHY AND I SAY WHAT I FEEL.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

NOW, GO READ...

[thirsty4blood]

ok well im sorry for sharing my story, ill keep it to myself from now on Sergeant.

I told you to share it on Oprah...

Maybe you are legit, you're the only one who knows...

But you can't fake the funk at bootcamp...

You better thicken up your skin if you want to make it in the Marine Corps.

[thirsty4blood]

Yes sir I understand, I wasn't offended. Thank you for the advice.

Sheeit, he couldn't even understand post 2!!
