    Drug waivers for USMC higher than other services? Why?

    I was a recruiter from 94-97. If the kid admits to 1-10X use of marijuana, it was an automatic RS CO's waiver. Anything more than 10Xs use or something stronger (coke, peyote, etc..) went to the District CO. If they did hallucinogens more than once they were done. My kid is a recruiter in...

    Flew troops and supplies into Rhino, Kandahar, and Bagram because the Helos didn't have the legs. All at night, unaided (because the NVG planes belonged to the Reserves), using self contained approaches to uncontrolled, unlit, high elevation, bomb-cratered airfields. Did you know that small arms...

    There is a Marine Herc version as well. Instead of an "E" model it's an "F" and instead of a Viper it's a Hornet.

    Just say NO to a steady until after your first float. Better to tour the world in search of "Miss Right". There are plenty of "Miss Right-Now's" to keep you busy until then.:D

    anti-depressants...a bad word?

    Provided you are up front with the MEPS weinnies and have proper documentation, there is a waiver for everything. But you are right. Patience is key. And be ready to go ASAP when the waiver is approved. Good luck!

    Water Survival Course (and dunker)

    The scenario is pretty cool now, what with the lighting, thunder and all. The dunker rolls over alot faster than it used to as well. But the head kicks are still the same.

    C-130-2 pilots?

    Since the NAV school closed, they are becoming a rare breed. With all the mods that the program office is looking at for the "T", it may be more fiscally wise to buy some J's for the Reserves. But that's just me talking.

    Marines do. At least the aviation types do. Every MOS is always short of personnel. That's what the fleet is saying. Manpower (the suits in VA) will say it's a "management" problem.

    Naval Academy Looking at Cruise Behavior

    I been on the road with CO's/XO's that we had to restrain from "touching" the dancers. Booze can have that effect. A definite lack of SA and HW, however considering the source of the allegations, his or her ulterior motives (if any), and the media scrutiny, these guys are probably screwed.

    Most of these billets are for enlisted folks. But fret not, aviators. There is always MOS 9910, Billet Designator - Unrestricted Officer. Plenty of work for everyone. Semper Fi!

    A question for you Herc drivers

    Here it is in a nutshell. Once you finish T-44 training in Corpu$, you have two paths depending on MC needs. You can go to the legacy training (T) at VMGR-234 in Ft Worth and be at the mercy of grumpy FRS instructors. MCO P3500.88 (T&R) has all the required flights and hours. Or you can end up...

    Salute this.

    The next time you do get a salute(or don't), remember that your rank entitles you to a salute. Then ask yourself, "are they saluting me... or my rank?" Let me tell you... from an E's perspective, they aren't the same. Then again.... maybe it doesn't matter to you. You are 100% correct...

    Salute this.

    I have watched this thread in total amazement. The answer to the original post is to snatch 'em up and square them away on the spot. What are they gonna do, beat you up? They will either never do it again or avoid you at all costs. Who cares if they think your an ass.
