Yeah..theres always a few lads out there that just have to be different. :) haha

Oh, believe me Sergeant, I understand that. Its just my logic was that somehow someway for the majority of humans, the muscles used for underhand was easier. I can remember all through middle school,...

Wow, that really surprises me. I've never heard of anyone that could do pullups easier overhand rather than underhand. Not once. I just assumed that you used either more muscles or stronger muscles...

I live in Pennsylvania, it gets really humid here in the Summer. Yesterday was so bad that the mountains just a few miles away were surrounded in a white haze. I was at the shooting range and when I...

Yeah that's not all that unheard of...the Air Force, Navy, aren't all that much larger than the Marine Corps. The Navy has like 330,000+ or so I believe. The Air Force, I'm not sure, but its a...

When i was in the DEP I was doing 27 pullups and I did NOTHING special. I also had done more than anyone in my high school and again, did NOTHING special...all I did was pullups. Theres no way to get...

60 people and your the only one going for the Marine Corps? ...wow. I think when I swore in there weren't many now that I think of it..... I think there were more than one though. Yeah, I know...

I agree..do the college credits. Its summer, you can enroll in summer classes and get them done in no time..worse case scenario, enroll in fall classes and you'll be done by early December at the...

Just a little update for anyone that might possibly be in a relative situation to my own. I spent hours on the internet last night looking at different OSO's web pages as well as the Marine's new...

Fantastic, perhaps I should contact my local OSO.

Sorry for the confusion there, but your information was helpful anyway. Looks like the Naval Academy is right out for me. I'm way off on the age,...

Thank you for your time Captain.

I guess that means I'm SOL then. (if that reply was meant in response to my post) However, are those same qualifications in application the same to the other...

My apologies for the typos. I hope that was understandable. I was trying to do several things at once and now I can't edit it.

I have some questions myself. I think I know the answers to these but it doesn't hurt to ask.

My little background story real quick. I wanted to be a Marine very badly, so I joined up. Went right...

Congratulations man, I envy you younger blokes so much. What I wouldn't give to go back and do it all over again.

She signed eventually.

My Mom and Dad weren't too keen on the idea either. My Dad came around a little easier, but my Mom took some serious convincing. She talked to the recruiters and said she will only sign if they...
