it's an F'ing regular cab truck...my uniforms, boots, etc. alone would take up all the available space.

Ok, so here's my situation. I have a '97 Ford F-250HD 7.3L 4x4 and all that good jazz...but, the kicker is that it only has a regular cab. So, I've been thinking about putting a truck topper on it so I can stow non-essential gear such as extra clothes, etc in the back--since there is minimal...

there is no difference in pay. you get the same base pay as me, except you probably make more because your PEBD is probably earlier than mine. i believe it's just an admin issue.

best advice ive ever heard...

Gents, First of all, thanks for all your input, it has helped me to resolve this frustrating situation. I finally got ahold of the Admin. Chief for the RS and they found the problem. They had me in the system as a PLC'r, but I'm actually an NROTC grad, etc. So, basically, things weren't...

ok, so im just a 2nd LT so what do I know, but is it a good idea to be scanning your military ID and mailing it to every Tom, Dick, and Harry?

yeah, it let's everyone know that you and the sungod are pals...and the fact that you like long cylindrical things being shoved up your ass.

after commissioning, my MOI presented this opportunity to me. It's not PTAD, PTAD--key word PERMISSIVE temp. add'l duty-- is only used for things like househunting, pregnancies, etc. If you went down to VMFA-134, it would most likely be no cost TAD (read: no cost for the squadron). So you'd be...

The good ole days ahhhhhhhhh the memories...

ok, well if you really want to know what absolutely, positively will never ever wash off i'll tell you. black spray paint. i dont know how this kid in my platoon got it through pick-up, matter of fact i dont even want to know, but that sh*t was money. after the first couple of nights, when...

yeah, definitely havent received any money. you have to get into MyPay to set up your direct deposit according to the OSO im working for. and since he farmed me out to another command, i cant just walk into his office and clear this up. there's a big communication breakdown...

if you don't, you should...

I've got PTAD orders. Thanks for all the advice, we'll see if it works.

that may be true, but I'm looking at a copy of my orders and the subject line says, "Assignment to Active Duty." I've got an Active Duty ID, etc. I know at the least when I check into TBS I'll get my backpay, but right now $ is tight.

I can't log into MOL because it doesn't recognize my SSN. I get the message "no Marine found for this SSN."

Okay, first off let me say that I have searched all the forums for answers concerning my question, but it has been to no avail. Ok, so here goes: I commissioned in January and was brought on Active Duty 22 January 2007 (PTAD for an OSO). I have provided all the "necessary" information to the...

hide those butterbars in the deepest, darkest corner of your most unused drawer. dont even look at them, actually, dont even think about them!!! haha. jk, but seriously don't jinx yourself. make sure the uniform fits, but dont go taking photos and posting them on facebook like some idiots...

im going to throw in my two cents here...i love bates lites. they take years off run times, but for ropes...ive found the soles dont grip the rope very well since theyre made out of that high speed "foam" sh*t. but, then again everyone has their own opinions. as for them tearing up, mine are...

Concur, my orders to Delta specify 14 June as the report date. Still waiting on an ORMOD so I can check in with Mike at the end of March for IFS.

commissioned 070116 with an air contract. i got my orders for TBS and I'm Delta company. dont know if that helps any. but the wait is friggin long. BOOOOO Long wait for TBS, Hooray Beer!

to prove the USMC doesn't give a rip about degrees...im an SNA and hold a B.S. in Geology...although now that i think about it, i did take a sh*t-ton of math and physics

i'll tell you why the Quigley sucks...when youre on a boots 'n utes run 2 years later you can still f'ing smell it. this is only one of the many reasons the Quigley sucks; that, along with the fact that if youre 6'3" tall and going under the slanted poles you get stuck. and remember kids...no...

yeah, apparently a lot of people get anthro'd out of the prowler...I did. wasnt too disappointed though.

yeah, im going Delta Co. sooooooo...im not really looking forward to another VA summer. but then again, i live in Mississippi where you can't go outside in the summer without your balls sticking to your leg and looking like you went swimming in your clothes...so i guess it could be worse.

But Lawman...did you forget about the acid washed denim shorts and the white calf socks???

I'm sorry, but I may be missing something here....how in Jesus' sweet name do you not know what you contracted as? That's like saying you forgot your first name...

Slammer, did you piss out gallstones the size of golfballs soon thereafter???

Master, at least youre honest with yourself....

Apparently, the Navy has realized that honey catches more flies than vinegar.. http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=c5de3c93b978055b314deba58fe82b76.1210011

as a graduate of an NROTC program, I can tell you that a 2.5 GPA is sub-standard. it may even land you on academic warning/probation/LOA (possibly). also, with those grades, you will not be very competitive as far as being selected for a Marine Option scholarship. If you had about a 3.3 GPA and...

ah i see, one of those digital foot stomps i suppose

getting a copy of the test before you go is like sleeping with your sister. you're not supposed to know all the tricks of the trade for OCS--that's how they evaluate you. i wouldnt stress about the test

good to go, thanks for the gouge. anybody on here heading up to Mike soon? also, is it worth trying to study ahead for IFS or is it pretty chill?

has anyone ever heard of several LT's going in together and getting a place out in town for the weekends/downtime...you know, like a place to blow off steam and relax. Im reporting to Mike in a few weeks and heard some guys do this from my MOI

anybody have any insight into the PT regimen of M Co.? Or for that matter, what the day of someone in M Co. consists of, especially if they are in IFS. Do we paint rocks, weed-eat (obviously when the grass starts growing), etc?

youre going to psyche yourself out man. just take care of yourself, do what youre supposed to and make it happen

i heard that you can just quit whenever...haaaaaaaaa

As funny as they (safety goggles) may look, my friend had an accident not too long ago. He was finishing up FEX III or something and a branch whipped back right into his eye. Now his cornea is f'd, and he's probably going to have permanent vision damage. His advice to me, as a SNA, was to always...

this info may be coming a little too late, but a good way to grease the skids is to come bearing gifts (read: unit coins, etc) to the Man, I wont mention his name, but if youve been through NAMI you know who I'm talking about. if not, PM me.

well, i figured as much. why take them out when you dont need too. i just didnt know if it was SOP to have them taken out to completely eliminate the possibility of future problems. i just didnt know if a new Navy Doc would see my molars as a "target of opportunity"...

Actually, it's not all that hard to pick up a flight guarantee as a Marine Option...I know because I just did in Dec. At the time I was notified, I believe there were still about 50 +/- a few slots left for the fiscal year 07. My MOI, who is a F/A-18 guy (he's been there, done that...so he broke...

Ok, so I may be getting in on this a little late, but I have a question. If my wisdom teeth came in perfectly (i think i actually have room for another set...) will they have to be taken out prior to API? I've had the NOMI/NAMI flight physical down in pcola and dental didn't say squat about them...

well i dont think anything is seriously wrong, the area is still tender and yes sit-ups hurt like a mofo, so does hanging from a pull-up bar. did your appendectomy have any implications for API, etc? im going down to NOMI on 11 Sept. to have my flight physical so i hope it doesnt cause any major...

Gents (and ladies of course), Researched this and couldn't find any hits on it so here goes: I had an appendectomy in late June. I'm finding it harder than I thought to recover physically as far as getting my run times back down, more pull-ups, etc. I know all this stuff takes time, but I...

i dont know but you'd have to be a sick mothertrucker to wanna walk back and forth across that thing. i can still hear, "tighten it up right now!!!" anyways, i didnt say that they bridge was torn down, there were just mounds of dirt out in front of Bobo Hall the week before OCS kicked off. i...

i was up there 2 weeks ago knocking around and it looked like Bobo was shut down and things were all dug up around it. Im going to be so pissed if they dont make those dirty candidates walk across that bridge. that was part of the whole OCS experience. maybe they can build a replica and...

Gentlemen I don't know how many of you have already seen this, so if you have then please disregard. But, it's badass anyways. Enjoy, http://www.youtube.com/w/Coolest-Toy-EVER%21%21?v=LqcDJGlfAGE

i know this is off the subject of TBS, but it is dead on the subject of girls...you boys ever been down here to OLE MISS (University of Mississippi)? The girls down here are ridiculously beautiful. Something in the water I suppose. When we suck at football, our motto is, "We redshirt Miss...

maybe we should just tell them ALLLLLLLLL the secrets to OCS
