Female Combat Engineer

[Cpl Keller]

Mullins, your first goal is to earn the title. Once that is done, set a new goal of being worthy of the title. Along the way, try proving your detractors wrong.

Mullins
Don't pay any attention to Ed, .......
he's old as hell and extremely senile.
All he does is sit at home
taking oxygen,
eating jell-o,
and (*****ing )at everything that moves
or breaths.

??????
MOI ?????

she shouldn't worry what others are-
do the best she can do
and show she can be better than the rest.


Besides

See one-
Play one.

He may be old etc; etc;, but ED is right and you guys know it.

[m14ed]

I am new to posting to this site
searched it over the past few months.

I am a 19 year old female
do not come from a military family.

I leave for boot camp in about two weeks.

I've tried to search all over the place for stories,
suggestions,
helpful tips
etc.
from other female Marines,

but seeing as there aren't many
its been a bit difficult.

I chose the MOS for
Engineering/Construction and

my recruiter told me the other day
that as of right now my job is 1371 Combat Engineer.

I have been looking at what this job entails
and was curious if there are any other females
that have chosen this route
and what they can say about it

I have no idea

if this was supposed to help
or be critical


so( I'm just going to say thank you

and I'll be sure to come back
and prove I have what it takes
to earn the title! ) ***

I'm Old,
I'm Cranky
*and i'm not a Woman Marine
and things in the Corps have changed
since my days *playing combat engineer

from my understanding of current modes
to qualify "ENLISTEE's" into a PROFESSIONAL
MarineCorps -
your recruiter telling you that you were scheduled
for a 1371 specialty mos sounds doubtfull to me.
*Unless - you are enlisting into the RESERVES ?

IF you are enlisting into the reserves
you started asking the wrong questions.

oh yes , also,
you could have waited untill the day before
you left for Parris Island to ask your question-

at least you have a little more common sense
than many thru here in the past.

good luck

Mitch, the last time Ed was right, 8 tracks were popular.

[Hammer]

Billy; I can't help it that you don't like Ed! I do. He's a good guy, and we have to humor him. He still believes that Mike is going to put in a chat room, here, because you told him (ED) that you would talk to Mike and Andy about it.

[Mongoose]

Mitch....it's hopeless. Ed sent me this pic. of him eating lunch...now you tell me you would believe anything he says??

[Hammer]

You're probably right about Ed. He and Troop 901 are both gullible. Next thing you know; Troop will want to be named Dispatcher in the Chat Room (if there was one) and Ed would want the chat room to be named Ed's Place.

Mike, said there would only be a chat room if Keggler was the moderator.

I thought you all were calling him Ed because he had "ED"

[Hammer]

Good point Russ! So, from now on, we'll call him erectile dysfunction, or ED.

wow, this sure went down hill in a big hurry.. ROFL...

We're just friends helping friends.

I wish they would get a chat room. I have talked to Ed on the phone a few times. I know you won't believe this shet.....but he actually talks vertically, just like he posts. Never a sentence with more than 4 words in it.

[Hammer]

The question is; why does Ed want a chat room?

[m14ed]

I thought you all
were calling him Ed
because he had "ED"
*NO-
because, I'm "Special"
and i rode a "Special bus"
while i had to wear a
"Special Helmet"
and a bib.
We're just friends
helping
friends.

*the MarineCorps did not
teach me how
to count any
higher
than
4-
(a$$holes)*

The question is;
why does
Ed want a
chat room?
*so i can try to score
with wannabe female engineers ?
OH yes -
also to instruct
TROOP and Ronnie how to stack
donuts onto those Special Donut
holders i showed them

so there
