OCS 187, Christians?

[Crowbar]

If you were meeting to "socialise" as you call it, i.e. drink...would you want Ned Flanders tagging along?
So why would a Christian group want a bunch of potty-mouthed heathens interrupting them?

I say this and will stand by it until I die. There will be people you like and dislike at OCS and in the Marine Corps. It will have nothing to do with their race, religion, gender, shoe size, favorite food, etc. It will be on their performance of their assigned daily duties. I've worked with atheists, devout Christians, Muslims, so on and so forth. The only thing I cared about was how good they could do their job and how they treated their Marines, it had nothing to do with cliques or excluding others.

Please somebody answer the original question, this is way off topic already!

Sounds like good advise.

Sounds good to me!

Instead of all posting messages about it- let's just fight!

Oh wait, what was everyone's PFT? ...hahaha

 

[USMCBebop]

It is an attempt to create a clique

Don't worry, clique or no clique, Christian or non-Christian, it won't help you in peer evals if you're a dirtbag!

Clarifying

Guys I was only looking for someone that could help me during the tough times in a unique way by reminding me of Christ's nearness and strength; during the times when I will be tempted to quit, thus the encouragement would make me a better Marine. If I'm accepted, it will be an honor for me to serve you all as best and hard as I can when you are given the different leadership billet positions over me and others. Please do the same for me. It would also be great to hang out with you all during the rare moments of leave. I didn't and would never intend to exlude anyone, much less a Marine whom I am/will be forever grateful for their sacrifice. Many of my friends of which I care about the most have nothing to do with Christianity. Thank you for serving, I wish you the best.

Cool, I haven't served though, hope to see everyone at OCS.

 

[leatherneck82]

Well I'm not a very serious christian but I'm trying. But if anybody is giving away free encouragement at OCS I'll take a hit. PM me. I'd be glad to meet up with anybody who has got their head on straight and their mind right so we can mentally pump up. Oorah!

 

[USMCBebop]

Read this one from the Navy side of the house. Everyone is treated the same regardless! That means you'll suffer together and you'll have you share of good times together!

 

[smileyl]

lol fellas. Like Crowbar said, at OCS you don't care who is who, you are all there for the same cause. There are religious services, so don't worry Riffle, you'll meet plenty of Christians there.

the first sunday during in-processing or whenever it was i was at the protestant service with the chaplain and he gave out a little bag with a tiny bible and a cross in it to everybody

 

[lucky1899]

Im not that religous, but something tells me once OCS rolls around I'll keep that cross, just for luck :icon_wink
