oh come on. the fat girl with the girl personality (C-130) needs to be an option

alright max. expect to run and train hard at OCS as well as get your ass chewed a lot. dont worry about it, happens to all candidates and even when you are at TBS. at TBS expect to have some fun and good experiences. learn as much as you can. API sucks, because its a lot of book work, but do...

i went straight from TBS and started API a week later. and i started primary a week and a half after i checked it. Marines are definitely getting pumped through. unlike the poor navy dudes who wait for like 6 months.

under armor is a life saver. trust me you will want it on the range. for the room, you are not going to need much. maybe a small tv, a computer (laptop is what i had) and some civilian clothes to hit up DC in. i ended up buying a coffee maker for those lovely early mornings and a microwave. i...

this guy should freaking stay and die in the United States. He is nothing more than a terrorist and should be tried as one. i can't stand the guy. Send him to Iraq to check out bombs or weapons of mass destructions on his own.

there are 10 of us Marines that are reporting on June 20 and class up on the 25th from TBS.

yeah man, dont be that candidate that has a yard sale in the middle of the parade deck. have your stuff organized in zip lock bags and all your footpowder and whatever else taped together. the sea bag is a must. the sgt instructors seemed to like to pick on the dumb guys who brought the huge...

if you find out that flying isnt for you. and you are in IFS before TBS. you can drop your flight contract and try to go for another ground MOS. i am not sure what happens if you do IFS after TBS and find out you dont like it. i know that there are two guys here at TBS that didnt like flying so...

relax, take a break, go to georgetown, baltimore, or wherever. you can study sunday night.

some OSO's do a little more than others. i know my OSO in san diego took us to Camp Pendleton and we did land nav and a 5 mile hike. we also did the O course and also the O course that the navy seals do at Corondo. we had study sessions with the five paragraph order and prep. and PT on tues and...

could move the f/a-18 squadrons to Lemoore, with the Navy.

OCS. take it day by day. dont look how long you have left and being is good physical shape as mentioned above will make life easier. just dont over stress yourself because thats what they want. they are going to put stress on you to see how you handle it. do your job and be confident about what...

i did PLC combined summer 2002. did another year of school. graduated in may and got commissioned in june. then i had to wait until the end of november to pick up with Alpha Co at TBS. that sucked. but then again i got a stash job with an F/A-18 hornet RAG. so that was great experience. if you...

the Marines all go through martial arts training. we are doing it as of right now at TBS. and there are two navy chaplain's that are doing it with us. but like said above, navy doesnt train in martial arts.

motivating e-course. awesome. christmas leave is awesome too. taxman, you picking up with us in artic alpha or bravo?

i know on the west coast they are at Camp Pendleton and Miramar

PLC Combined 180, Alpha Co, 3rd Plt.

that is a good one bigworm. pretty freaking funny

outfreakingstanding.

you should be able to download it off this website. go to file library. should be some gouge there

we once got on the line. threw all our trash in the middle of the squad bay. i mean everything. while the Plt next door came threw and step on everything, and we had to be yelling, "we are third the turd" then we had to salute them with a boot on our right hand. it was freaking funny looking...

the link didnt work for me. so page couldnt be displayed and went to some yahoo ads

its called IFS. but you dont have to get your private. its 25 hours of flight time. basically they want you to solo and do a cross country. i know Marine SNAs have to do it before TBS or after.

the nova video is sweet. definitely get you hands on that.

i dont know about actives. we had a lot of reserves in our platoon.

after your junior year in college, you have to go to six week bulldog OCS. its lots of fun

one of my favorites, our Sgt Inst made two candidates go around the squad bay while everyone else was on the line and go up to each candidate and yell, "ha ha ha, i m stupid" i couldnt hold it. the same candidate had an MRE in his wall locker and the Sgt Inst made him sit indian style on the...

i know that when i was in ROTC i started out Navy with the intentions of switching to Marine. after a semester i tried to switch over but they would not allow me to, plus the Navy offered me a 3 year scholarship. but i did neither and went to Marine Corps OCS. but i think you have to apply for...

shining your boots wasnt tough. i would rather look like a Marine with spit polished boots than one that looks like you are wearing some kind of fungus on your feet.

yeah you dont have to polish the new boots, but guess what, they are ugly.

the boot thing must be new. that sucks. hopefully it doesnt punish your feet bad. i dont know how much the utilities are. you probably can check online somewhere.

when does the new season of JAG start. i gotta see my girl Catherine Bell. she might be a full bird now

you should get your boots prior to shipping off, so you can run in them and get them worked in so you dont tear your feet up. you get your UTES at cash sales and they are automatically deducted from your pay when you are there. you should get paid the second week you are there. and every two...

f/a-18 are stationed in Miramar California, Japan, and Beaufort. you can also be an instructor pilot and be stationed at the various instructing schools. Harrier is in Yuma and Beaufort. Cobra's, Huey's are at Camp Pendleton CA not sure on the east coast. and 46's and 53's are at Miramar...

if you have you private you are not qualified to get the hours for free. i had 32 hours after OCS and asked if the Marine Corps would give me the 25 hours. they said since i already had over 25 hours they would not do it. if you have 15 hours they will pay for 10 hours of flight time. and no...

"I can tell you, but i won't." "Go ahead and act stupid if you want to." "Undastand dat."

i got 14 units of credit for military science when i went to Marine OCS. it just depends on your college. most private colleges wont accept it. but i went to a state college, it took some time to get it finalized but i finally got the units. and it helped too.

yeah PLC guys get the shaft. taxman, good luck at TBS you will be halfway done by the time i get there at the end of november alpha co. later man

if i were you i would let it heal. dont jack it up so there is permanent damage. you would be suprise at how much in shape you can get in two weeks. if i were you for no is lift weights. do abs. and do the rowing machine for cardio. that way you foot has time to heal and you are still getting...

i had three pairs of boots. one pair of leathers for drill and marching, jungle boots for inspections and o course, and PT boots for humps and events they will let you wear them on. i knew a guy that had those three boots and bought a pair of boots for inspection and he never had to spit shine...

i disagree with the canteen covers and belt. i went throught the entire program and only failed one inspection (mainly because it was the first one and everyone fails) with the gear they issued. all you have to do is after an event where you are going through the mud and water, take your gear to...

DaNang, definitely a butt kicker. like said above. get used to running in boots and utes.

if you already have your degree when you attend OCS, you will be a direct commission. if you have one more year of school PLC Combined is what you will do. you will have to wait a year or however long of school you have left.

i am suppose to class up around end of november or early dec.

megrey when is your tentative tbs date?

i am one of those sweaty guys. i sweat like a mother f**ker. even when i am sitting in the cockpit doing nothing, you should see me after the freaking gym. but at least i know my pores are working

i have heard of midshipman getting their summer tour rides in the hornet and they puke the first couple of times, and then after a while they get the hang of the feeling of the jet, some never get used to it and throwup all the time. but i know you can put a puke bag in your G-suit just incase...

when you do PT, it is an average of no less than 3 miles. you gradually work up to five miles. then the endurance run and harder PT. the endurance run was the hardest i thought. although the LRC runs in SULE II were tough too.

21:00 is a good 3 mile time. i went into OCS with that time. i ended up running a 19:30 at the end. so it will come down, even though you will be dog tired by the last PFT. good luck
