Anyone that was part of Company K, 1st Increment, last summer will remember this one... Cand.First.Sgt : "Cand.Plt.Sgts, take charge of your platoons... and" (looks around and doesn't know what command to give)... "march them that way!" (comes from POA and points both arms in direction of...

DocT & JDawg, We all know that Kilo 3 was the best platoon in all the events! Haha. Just joshin. I can say that cause I was in K3, and I know what it's like to get beat in everything. We should of had that log run, and pugil sticks was close. We did take names in the 3 man hand-to-hand combat...

That's one of the best I've read. There's no way I would have been able to keep my bearing. Good stuff.

Kilo 3, First incrememnt for Jrs. Going back for first increment Srs this summer.

I know this isn't aviation related, but I feel that we all need to read this. I got this from another forum, and it's rather long. I'm sure some of you have already seen it. - If you want an unfiltered (media) reports of what happened in Fallujah, read the following: Lt. Col. Dave...

I guess there's a first for everything... (http://www.wftv.com/news/3971517/detail.html) Police: Dealers Report Stolen Marijuana To Authorities CALLAWAY, Fla. -- Help, police, someone stole my pot! A Panhandle couple is under arrest after notifying police Thursday that their...

...with a catch that big? must be a pilot.

Awesome news to hear. I'm sure he's glad they're over with. Congrats to you and your son!

I know the thread is a year old, but I figured I'd keep the thread going. Happy 229th Marines! I posted this topic a year ago before I went to OCS. Now that I've been to OCS I can only appreciate the Corps even more. Toasts to the United States Marine Corps! Oorah!

Good to hear he's doing well. I hated the bridge as well. He'll be home before you know it.

What do you mean by being a career killer?

I remember Chang

I got my results back from the OSO today. 5/6/6. That qualifies me for Aviator and NFO. Thanks all for the help on the newer version of the ASTB.

Was it "Creature" by any means?

What do you not like about actually driving the plane? I'm curious to hear your side of the story. I'm glad that your revelation came through for you. Good luck.

That's great.

Speaking of the physic question, there was one on the ASTB Version 3 that said something along the lines of: I you had two tennis balls and held them over a 10 story building, and you dropped one straight down and tossed the other horizontally first, but released them at the same time, which...

Green light is on the Starboard wingtip Red light is on the Port wingtip Big white light is on the front landing gear wheel when landing at night.

This is the same post I made in the "Caution new tests are out, and I was the guinea pig" thread. Just took got done with version 3 about an hour ago. Here's what I found out... Math - Nothing surprising. Similar to the guide off this site, and the ARCO book. Study those two, and you'll do...

Just took got done with version 3 about an hour ago. Here's what I found out... Math - Nothing surprising. Similar to the guide off this site, and the ARCO book. Study those two, and you'll do fine. Only section that I was pressed for time on. Finished with about 30 sec. left. Reading...

Taking it in the morning. I'll post as soon as I get back, so I can jot down what I remember. I'm just ready to get it over with.

Thanks, flyinhigh

For the guys/gals that have taken the newer test, do you remember if it's still as follows, or has it changed: Test. Min. Questions. 1. Math/Verbal 35 37 2. Mech. Comp. 15...

Been looking over the gouge on this site (mainly the SA part), studying nautical/aviation terms, and the math/verbal stuff. Ready for the test on Friday. I'll try and remember some stuff from mine, so I can help out.

I think every staff at OCS said this one... Gy Sgt: "Which way does the Sh^t roll?" Candidates: "Down hill, Gy. Sgt." Gy Sgt: "And who's at the bottom?" Candidates: "These candidates, Gy Sgt."

Yea, you'll see it. Just like the posts above said, make sure the candidate rank structure is working. If you're Platoon Commander, make sure you're Plt Sgt and 3 Squad Leaders are on point. Our staff called it "gaffing" one another off when someone would screw the person in a billet just...

"They're going to graduate some of you just to take bullets for the good ones." - SSgt Goodreau, talking to our nasty platoon. -

Iceman: " Bull S@#t (coughing)!"

Those quotes can only come from one man... Gunny Sgt. Whobrey. I think one of the best ones he had was "Two silver wings, head cocked to the right, ka ka!" Talking to a candidate about going to see the Col. I also remember him running up and down the highway on the night hump, pitch dark, and...

I had the privelage (if you can call that) of hearing this story first hand. There were several times, like the bologna dripping into the jug, where I almost seriously threw up. What a nasty human being. Thanks for the laughs, Beetle! It was a good time.

I recieved all the MCTAP and FAP paper work from my OSO this week. I haven't had a chance to talk to him, but I was wondering what obligations one has by taking FAP. I'm currently on a ground contract, but I plan on component changing to SNA within the next 6 months. If I take FAP as a ground...

Awesome Avatar there Nozeman! I love that movie!

I'm doing that right now. Just completed PLC Jrs in July on a ground contract, and I'm getting PRK in December.

Here's a few more... That's the A-6 Intruder with it's radar up front. The F-4 Phantom head on. The S-3 Viking that landed on the USS Lincoln with President Bush.

I tried attaching them again. They were there last night when I posted the thread. I dunno what happened.

Alright, ladies and gents, I was blessed with the opportunity to meet up with a Marine SNA while I was on vacation in Florida last week. We met up and headed to NAS Pcola and went to the O'Club for lunch. Then we hit the flightline!! It was awesome! I got to strap on a T-34 and take a look...

We ate an MRE for lunch that training day.

I just wanted to say thanks to Leatherneck and others that have started the new gouge on the new ASTB test. I'm taking mine on 20 Aug, so hopefully this stuff will help me out. Thanks again.

I'm a Christian that just got back from PLC Jrs a couple of weeks ago, and can say that religion was very respected there. Every night we had a lay reader pray for us, and there were religous services offered on sunday and one week night during the week called prayer and praise.

Well said KBayDog. At first glance, $2200 a month isn't jack, but when one looks at the other things officers get... it's not so bad afterall.

If I graduate in Dec '05, can I EXPECT my TBS date to be around may or june? Taking into consideration what most other PLC guys have done, is it safe to think that it will?

What's worse is having one of the instructors walk over it with you while a train is going under. He picks out a random candidate close by and plays the freedom train game... "Oh, so candidate X wants to look down at the freedom train, huh? That's good to go. I can get you on that freedom train...

YES SIR!! That's the bridge.

..."Tight to the right! Tight to the right, aye Gunnery Sgt."... ..."Step it out! Step it out aye Gunnery Sgt!"... ..."Platoon formation! Platoon formation aye Candidate Plt. Sgt.!"... Oh the memories from the freagin' bridge!

I think everyone there had a red USMC shirt on. Man, did we stand out at Reagan Int'l!!

While we're on topic, could someone explain the roll of the Huey in the Marine Corps. I have never really looked into it. It's a nice aircraft just never reallly thought about it's position in the MAGTF. Thanks.

To second what UORBulldog mentioned, don't buy the 8 hour a night deal. Atleast, I never got it. Sure, you can sleep all 8 of those hours, no one is going to stop you, but you won't have any of your other things ready to go. Personally, this is what I did. I just got back on friday from Jrs, so...

Feels great to be home tonite in a nice bed! Good luck to all those who are headed to 2nd increment. I just completed 1st increment, PLC Jrs today. Kilo-3!

So if you do 40, that's really 80 right? I don't know that I can do eighty in a row without stopping.
