Like josephd said, if picking up rank fast is what you're after you're in for a rude awakening. For MPs it will be minimum 3 years without a meritorious promotion, which come only if your have s***...

If you have any questions about how the reserves work (at least for my unit, I'm a reserve MP) PM me and I'll happily answer.

Yea we got weekends off along with a couple 96s which you can go home for if you get approved. I loved the training there and most of the instructors. A few of us were lucky enough to pick up our...

I posted in the Former Poolee forum a few days ago and haven't go a response yet so I decided to post here. I graduated bootcamp on 16 Nov and MCT on 21 Dec. We had an early grad from MCT so they...

I'm heading out to Fort Leonard Wood on Monday and have some questions.

What are the barracks like? Is it like at MCT or is the two or three to a room kind?

How long is it? I've heard both 9...

Yea my recruiter that DEPed me got out early this year. Nice guy and my recruiter now is cool too.

Thank you for the profile change and the answers. I'll remember that but I have a long way to go before that time comes. Thanks again.

Greetings Marines. It's been a LONG time since I last posted on here. I DEPed in on 16 Nov. of last year and I'm shipping out to Parris Island in 12 short days. I PMed Sgt. Leprechaun about my poolee...

Greetings. I've been a member of this site for years and have done some posting in the past. I would like to reintroduce myself to the everyone on here. My name's Dakota, I'm 17, and a junior in...

Hey Marines. It's been a while since I posted on here and I got a few questions. I still have a year until I can go into the DEP and I'm also looking into the reserve infantry. I have done research...

So to be clear I could for example, join the DEP and not sign until an 0311 slot opens up and then sign with that MOS guaranteed to me and if one hasn't opened up in a years time I could drop out of...

I thought you couldn't get a guaranteed MOS only a feild if you went AD. I am going to show him this thread later today. Thanks.

My best friend and I want to join the Corps when we graduate. This morning he told me how he wants to do things. He wants to go reserve so he can get 0311 and then switch over to AD. He would be...

Alright that makes sense now. Thanks again.

I did do a search and found nothing so sorry if I over looked anything. I was on about.com reading job descriptions for the Infantry and I noticed it said "Rank Range: Sgt to Pvt." Does that mean...

Yea Semper Fi was on the strap. I think there was an EGA just above the s too. Great song. I'm gonna have to download this.

My parents know that I want to join and that I am going to join but everytime I say something about it my dad says "You should join the Air Force instead so you don't get all mentally messed up in...

Ha ha that was my guess too. I just wanted to double check. Thanks.

This may be a dumb question but why do you need to have the loop sling cutting off the circulation? Thanks in advance.

My grandfather was a Captain in the Army Veterinary Corps during WWII, my great aunt (grandfather's sister) was one of the first female Marines and my uncle was in the Air Force. They are all on my...

Since I am not a Marine and cannot post in the threads on here I guess I will just start another thread. Not that this makes any difference to me but in the USMCR does it take longer to be promoted?...

That's probably the funniest thing I've heard in a while and I needed some humor since this has been a pretty bad week for me and my family.

This has been bugging me and I want to know what it means. What does it mean to "eat the banana" in bootcamp? Thanks.

Do Marines go on peacekeeping missions for the UN? Thanks.
