They'll take ASVAB or ACT as well

Well just to be ahead of the game I would gather the Letters of Recomendation and fill out anything you can in the meantime

We get to bite the digits, yes?

Depends, how many five year olds you got!

Wow this was a long post tried to read as much as I could so my very well threadjack but I hope not. I've got my doubts about this "cell" processor, I've read about it and so many parts about it are vague. I've been a processor geek/enthusiast for a long time and regularly read tom's hardware...

M-16 still gets its fair share of double feeds

I like where Sirius is going content wise, that being said know this. Legislation was passed quite awhile ago which required sattelite radio companies to have interoperable hardware, meaning your supposed to by any kind of sattelite compatible radio and then choose your content provider...

Supposedly taking SAT prep courses on average moves a test taker one standard deviation to the right, and its not uncommon for even greater improvement. Seeing that when the SAT was developed for it not to be taught to I think there is plenty of hope for increasing you ASTB scores. It will take...

The upgrade is great I can't believe you and some of the contributors put so much effort into it for all of us....I think the text in the Airwarriors graphic on top of the page can be spiced up a bit.

I'm a pie man myself, cake is far from my most favorite confectionary delight. Pies are meatier, and more substantitive like me.

I wonder if they still use CLP?, betch you inspection arms is a real pain with that.

They deserve it, I've got a friend who is going through Nuke school now on the officer side and it is some intense training;studying 18 hours a day isn't my cup of tea and if someone is will to do it they deserve to see a big paycheck at the end of the road.

Perhaps some jet guys would like to weigh in on this, seriously, would American pilots be any more effective if the aircraft they flew were any more maneuverable? It seems to me that increases jet performance doesn't do anyone anygood at this point; detection is the game now...I may very well be...

DocT I see completely where your coming from and its a valid point, what I'm trying to get at is that the branches don't condone us as representatives of them. A simple case study of General Mattis's comments would elucidate both our points. The Marine Corps said that his comments do not reflect...

I certainly agree with Kbay's point and thoroughly intend and buying a Bedford handbook for writers once again, but now your just beating a dead horse. Seriously you went to the first half of PLC so you know that the D.I.s can't spell or write for ****..I got enough chits to prove it. It does...

running reds is more of a florida pastime then just pensacola...I don't know what it is but the further south you go the more out of hand it gets. I just try to ram them, usually they stop and then are left stranded in the intersection

Well Gtodd knows as well as I do that OCS gets its fair share of uber students to. In my platoon there was 1 artificial intel guy from princeton, another comp sci guy from Stanford plus some smatter of other elite schools like Notre Dame...oh and of course UF :icon_wink

Easier is a horrible term in this case, first of all many officers in other branches won't even qualify to apply to OCS. Most people can't do a 3 mile run in 24 minutes. The reason why a person may view USMC standards as easier is because they only focus on GPA, ASTB qualifying scores for pilots...

"When morals are low, morale is high"

Question "How long to we have to pull the rip cord" Answer "Son, you have the rest of your life to pull that frickin cord"

Well thats the thing about the book its told through 18-22 year old eyes and ears. While I can't confirm that all the things he says are true I think everyone misses the perspective of the book. If your a staff NCO I doubt your 22, odds are by then you understand things better. Everyone keeps on...

As someone who went through college without gettinh paid by the military perhaps I can provide some insight on the benefits of not doing a program like STA-21....nope I can't

It will interesting to see another Marine boot camp done in the film, I just looked up one the guys playing as DI in the movie and he's just an actor. Scene can'y be as powerful without and actor who has some kind of USMC experience. Just going to be a guy trying to copy what Ermy did in Full...

I enjoyed the book but can't understand how it could be turned into a movie without making up a bunch of stuff. Its going to be a lousy movie thats very well may turn into a conduit to insult the Corps...which I didn't view the book as.

GOOD LORD, normally I would get some gratification from someone getting hurt for doing something stupid + trying to pick on someone...but that was to much

Well this is why you need to be Marine for yourself and not others, seriously I would say about 85% of people 40 and younger don't even understand the real difference between the services beyond AF=Air, Army=Ground, Navy= Water...they don't have a clue about Marines other then they think they...

I'd like to see the return of the chatroom, but hopefully it will funtion better then the previous.

OCS quotes...I would suspect that thread

Well I should of edited my post because as it goes on you should recognize that I become more rational...damn I'm sorry.

Well that thing about not needing a degree for the Army is technically true, but funtionally completely false. There are some e-6s who go WOFT without a degree but they're pretty much all crew chiefs. As far as getting the acceptance rate its all garbage...no one who know would tell trust me on...

I'd like to think I'm your man. I've lifted pretty consistently for 7 years with a few long breaks inbetween...and I'm a firm believer good weight is the only weight. I see alot of guys in our position of over analyzing the nutrition stuff...yeah don't start swalling down Mcyd's but as a college...

I had a Nigerian guy in my class who had duel citizenship, fact. I was going to add some speculation but since they don't actually process your EPSQ, I think its called the SF 86 now until your done I figure the speculation doesn't matter to much.

Well seeing that you pulled an 8 month crappy post out to be revived I'd say oh, 8 months

Skid and Kbay are pretty right on this, I can now speak from experience from both. I completed OCS with the USMC but had family complications and left. I'm not going through the whole WOCS thing because while I enjoy saying that I went through OCS I really didn't enjoy alot of stuff about the...

Well skid is dead on with that, albeit brief. Just to give you some more info you will actually only be in the USMCR when you first enter even though you'll be active so you can only actually get a slot in the reserves and you have to eventually get augmented into the USMC...I think except for...

Ah, I think Ken Waltz is going to die soon. I don't think the polar systems really apply to todays world. The polar systems only recognize nations not unitys. No Nation in the middle east would try to go to war with us, but throughout the mid-east there is an underlying nation with no borders...

I know the Navy is issuing them to new officers, I'm not sure about all but at least the guys going nuke.

Tablet PC's are gay.

I personally don't know what I would do without this site, I think my life would be a hollow shell without it...or is it the otherway around?

nah, its honnalee place is great except for this stupid dragon that smokes pot all day

Did it talk about all the fat chicks in Kingsville, because this site does that and I bet google doesn't.

I'm not an attorney but all my friends from college are so I asked them. They didn't actually have any ideas all they knew was that she could probably be picked up by the public defenders office as long as she could excpect to be there at least 2 years. I ran by them the idea of firms that...

damn, I'm just saying if they South Texans drive like crap they should be sent to gitmo...geez...god.

umm, at home I spend all my time trying to think of witty things to say about other peoples posts....am I alone on this one.

A4's you make powerpoint presentations at home as hobby don't you...sir.

Preaching to the choir Godspeed, don't worry a 2 more months and many of them leave and those who stay you get to kill (you have to go to Wal-Mart to get the license though). FYI Daytona is for p*ssies, yeah you get rear ended but come down to South Florida...driving down here is just like being...

As a Rule I don't care for Texans (seriously my father had a conversation with me about texans when I was younger...we were from NY) but if what Fly Navy is saying about the blinkers something needs to be done. I thought I had seen it all with the geriatrics in south florida but I have never in...

Oh Snap

Just like esday said, but as a correlate you should realize just because you've earned leave in the military doesn't mean you can take it. You'll earn 5.5 days of leave at OCS but you can't use any of it at OCS.

They won't make you do any pullups there, at least not for a grade. What you want to make sure is that you can climb a rope, I'm not one of these physiological know it alls who understands why girls can't climb the rope all I know is that girls can not climb ropes.
