Like Mistybluelady has kindly elucidated, it's basically mudchucking and I'll try to be above it in the future. I may go so far as to apologize for going off on you, though I'm still pretty mad that...

Yeah, well I'm usually a respectful person. Something about people trying to act high and mighty, with a bone to pick for no damn reason... really grinds my gears. Didn't do **** to the dude. Acting...

Wow this thread went on and on.



Because some random guy talking **** is terrifying... I guess your mother didn't teach you when you were a kid that your opinion doesn't really matter that...

Pretty much. Couldn't do a pullup to save a life.

And why? Because I had people ask about what happened with trying to enlist in the Corps.

I had no medical problems while I was trying to go...

Try another recruiting office if you can. If you're deadset on Marine OCS, then it's really your only option.

It's a shame you didn't get my old Marine recruiter. Sgt Lyons was one hell of a guy....

Because the OP got f***ed, here's a new one:

I've been putting off posting this because, frankly, I'm ashamed at how things turned out.

First off, I spent over three years trying to enlist in...

Will do. I'll let you know when I hit 100.

I still can't really do dead-hang pullups or chinups.

Ran 2 miles again today. Incline/decline pushups. Lifted weights. 35 crunches. Gonna do 40 tomorrow. Planking.

Yep. I don't like quitting something I start. Doing PT two or three times a week with a buddy of mind.

The only thing is that I can't keep in touch with Sgt Lyons. Talk to him for a bit and know...

I was supposed to do PT today, but it got cold around 2.

Had kind of a weird day, because an old friend messaged me and said that her ex violated her last night, and that she was thinking of...

Ran 2 miles today. Really finished like a champ. Feeling pretty good!

Not really Corps-related. I'm just interested in the language.

I have the nose of a hawk and the eyes of a floppy platypus. HEAR ME BLAP!

PT tomorrow. Going for at least 1.5 miles, hopefully 2....

Ah. Lol. At least I'm not wearing a bird on my head xD

Seriously been meaning to change that ridiculous picture though. Here's the non-screwed-up me:

I've been interested in NATO Military Symbols for some time, and started poking my nose into APP-6A a few years ago.

One question I have: what symbol would be used for a weapons company or...

Meaning? My profile picture, or that I'm a nosy person? Or something about allergies?

Also forgot to mention; I've started learning Norwegian (Bokmål).

Howdy all. Here's my update.


I've been in touch with Sgt Lyons. Apparently the med papers he submitted to MEPS weren't enough. They want more, only there aren't any more. There are references to...

Just an update, I've been having trouble getting in touch with Sgt Lyons. The last I heard, he had submitted my papers to MEPS and was waiting for a reply.

I haven't been able to go to Somerset...

I'm not 30 lol. I just turned 21 this May.

Nice to see you again, FoxtrotOscar. It has been far too long!

All in all, my biggest weakness isn't physical. That's just a symptom of having low...

Enlisting has not been easy.

I started at in late 2011 with a recruiter in Cincinnati, Ohio. I was in town living with a sister and trying to get a job. I finally got the balls to call a Marine...
