    Just Graduated from MCRDPI

    April 10th, 2009
    MCRDPI
    PLT 3026

    Feels amazing to have finally done it, pretty surreal to be home though. If any poolees have any questions about boot, fire away. I know I really appreciated the answers when I was a poolee.

    Congrats MARINE! Welcome back. What advice has most weight on your mind? I'd just like to hear some of the stories and anything that sticks out you'd like to share to help prepare us.

    Other than that, enjoy your leave!

    The physical aspect of boot camp is easy, depending on what kind of shape your in. But in the end, youll be in shape, and you dont die. Its when you go back to your squad bay and there is nothing on the schedule for a few hours that you hate life, because the "games" suck haha. But what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, so just keep in mind, time can't stop, eventually you get out of there, as a member of the most feared organization in the world!! That was my mindset whenever I felt I was starting to feel down. When I got home, the first thing I wanted to do was field day my bedroom! Yea right haha

    Thanks, Private. I keep hearing just stay in decent shape and it's almost fully mental and endurance. Good to go. Just curious, what were you doing in the IST before you shipped?

    You get yelled at from the moment that Drill Instructor enters your bus, basically until the moment you hear your SDI give you "DISMISSED!" at the very end of graduation.
