    Marine wants people to stop thanking him...

    I'd rather be thanked and get sick of it than get spit on. I can kind of agree on what this guy is saying though.

    Path as a HS Sophmore....

    Marines, please back me up on this if my specifics are off, but: PLC. You go to school, get it paid for, and participate in some activities throughout the year like you say. You then do OCS over the course of two summers, once between sophomore and junior year, and back for PLC-seniors...

    April 6 board

    Just found out this morning I got accepted. Had to reapply for the May board because my SAT scores didn't arrive in time. I had a 276PFT, 7/8/8 ASTB, 2.5GPA (only 2 classes done last semester, lol), 5 LORs (1 retired Marine Colonel), OEF vet. I guess more people like to fly in the Louisiana...

    Reserves to PLC

    I don't think 13 weeks of bootcamp is going to sway the board that much more. A deployment, maybe. I went enlisted reserves right out of highschool, even intending to become an officer and a pilot in the Marines. I wish I knew about Air Warriors or MarineOCS.com back then. I have had a lot of...

    Pay no attention...Nothing to see here...

    Because we're some mysterious operating force full of coverups and dark secrets, and everything we do must have a top secret mission related reason to it.

    In a B-52 Bomber Over Hanoi

    My dad was in that exact mission, along with a few others, like LB1, in Vietnam as a B-52 pilot. He told me his favorite things to blow up were fuel depots and trucks.

    April 6 board

    Still nothing on my end. Time to play the usual waiting game.

    April 6 board

    The board met on Tuesday. I haven't heard anything from my OSO either.

    What happened to marine reserve aviation?

    What are the chances of an aviation based reserve unit allowing a Motor T Marine into their unit? Without having to switch MOS's. I have 2 years left on the reserves, and my parent command is Orlando, but I go to college in NY. I found a C-130 unit somewhere in NY, so I was thinking of...

    April 6 board

    Any idea when we should expect the results? I submitted my package for the April board as well.

    Different Jobs with different gateways to becoming a pilot?

    Something to add that I have missed in my previous post. Along with everyone else saying don't bother enlisting if your goal is to be a USAF officer and a pilot, I will use myself as an example on why. Back in highschool, my friend and I both wanted to be Marine officers. We graduated at the...

    Different Jobs with different gateways to becoming a pilot?

    How much longer do you have in college? And is there an USAF ROTC there as well? If so then I would highly advise you joining their ROTC throughout the time in school. You still have to try hard and get good grades, but after 4 years of ROTC you will be pinned a 2nd Lt, without having to even...

    Depth perception problem and options....

    I failed my DP test at MEPS as well. It's a requirement to have DP as Motor Transport, but guess what? I'm Motor T. I've worried about not having DP at all considering I want to become a pilot, but I went to a few eye doctors and all of them said my DP is fine. I never knew drinking water the...

    Marinenet Questions

    I've came across 2 I know of that gave me points, and possibly a 3rd. The basic Motor T PMCS of a 7-ton and Cat-12 Engine gave me points for sure. They didn't even have a test and took about 30minutes each to complete. I just did the transmission of a 7-ton and am going to see if it gives me any.

    New MARADMIN- no more rolled sleeves in cammies.

    I really don't understand this new regulation. Going by what the more salty Sirs are saying, not looking forward to the peace time Corps. Garrison life is always gay. At least I can Semper Sometimes my enlisted life for the next 3 years.

    MCMAP Mandatory Training Mega Thread

    I've never really gotten into MCMAP, then again as a reservist there aren't too many chances to get your belts up. As Motor T I am required to get a green belt, but really, who actually follows that? I got a question about it though, flame me if it has been covered, since I didn't read this...

    Possible assignments out of cockpit following first operational tour

    Yes I am a reserve Motor T Marine in Orlando, sir. Thank you for the information, this clears things up a bit for me in my options for my B-Billet.

    Possible assignments out of cockpit following first operational tour

    I know this is 2 years old but it's a sticky so yeah. Since I'll be a prior and looking at an Afghan deployment in the near future and also Motor T, would any of those be a factor when getting assigned a B-Billet? Like lets say I wanted to do a second assignment in a Motor T based company, is...
