Yes SSgt, the Desert cammies look so much better than the Chair..i mean Air Force Dress Blues. i cant wait till i can enlist, but, AFJROTC is just gonna have to do for now. =)

Fraser, im in AFJROTC. I know, its not the Marine Corps JROTC, but it helps with my decision and dream to become a Marine. I know the AF Dress Blues dont even compare to the USMC's but it's still...

A friend of mine that recently graduated from PI was telling me about a few new weapons of the USMC..he had to stay behind a few weeks longer than anyone along with a few other recruits to 'test' out...

Thanks alot to all of you. The insight and info is apprieciated.

My question is if I would have a better chance of becoming a SWAT member if I enlist in the Marines compared to someone who wasnt in the Marines or Military for that matter. My guess would be that...

What are the barracks like on an USMC base now-a-days? For some reason, I have a mental picture of green tents filled with Marines insides, sleeping in sleeping bags... which I think is not what...

yea, im sure the Corps would frown upon trying to take your family to Iraq with you.

very true marine84, ive seen relationships be destroyed, and relationships that are successful. and usually,...

Nah, Im not thinking about marraige, its just I watch this show called The Unit. from what I can see, the families live on base with their husbands, but their also Army...

Ive been thinking, can your wife live on base with you (in the Barracks or housing that the military provides?) I know its a stupid question, and im only 15, but I was just thinking...

thanks,...

Yea, my bad about the M4. I've just seen some Marines on the new and such that have a retractible/adjustable stock. Guess thats the M16A4, my bad.

I've noticed that some Marines carry M16's, M16's with M203 attachments, M4's, all configured with items like different scopes/sights, IR Illuminators, Flashlights, etc. How do they get these...

No Echo Four Bravo, Im not looking for a boyfriend. lol. Im not to worried about the BC glasses, it just that if I have the option not to wear them and still have good vision, Ill take that option. ...

SgtHMH, I was considering LASIK before Boot Camp, but the price is kinda high, and the Military can give discounts on LASIK, and depending on your MOS, you could get it for free. I dunno.... I gotta...

Really? Another question. What about contacts? Could I wear them during Infantry School, or would I need to wear glasses? And if I would need to wear glasses, would they issue me Birth Control...

Im going to get LASIK after I enlist and after Boot Camp. I plan on having a Infantry MOS, so when would be a good time to get LASIK? Would it be the day I get home from Boot Camp(Because Ill get 10...

Im not going to ask what it looks like, but Im pretty sure I dont want to be part of the after-affect of the 75mm. thanks for the input

Thanks for the help there. Yes, I was leaning toward to LASIK after Boot Camp.

1. I have allergies to some forms of grass, but it's mostly just during pollen season. I take Claritin everytime my allergies act up, and Im fine for the next 24 hours. My question is if I'd be...

Also, about Infantry, will I be able to choose my MOS if i score well on the ASVAB? Or will it be something I wont be able to pick?

I cant decide which MOS I want when Im able to enlist. Can any Marines that have experience in those field give me some insight? It's really giving me a hard time trying to decide which one I...

thanks you guys, it helped. i really need to start running miles and stuff though... Im excellent at sprinting, but Cross-Country/3-10 Mile runs I hate doing.

First off, Im 15 and a Sophomore at my highschool here in Raleigh, NC. The only thing I want to be in this world is a Marine. One of my close friends whos enlisting when I do(Do the Buddy Program...
