I am about to report to Kingsville for training and have been hearing you have to stay in the Q six weeks. Is this required? Can you stay in town if you pay for it yourself? Does anyone have any info on this?

when i left Kingsville last year they were still making new guys stay in the Q for 6 weeks after checking in, but most guys, myself included, went ahead and got a place out in town anyways & paid for it out of our own pockets ... you still have to keep a Q room for 6 weeks though.

This bs rule was put out by my old commodore. Technically, its against the law unless you are under some type of punishment. He made it a requirement because they were trying to show occupancy to have justification to remodel the Q. I refused to subject my Marines to this rule and with the support of the MATSG CO, Marines never were required to stay on base. Sad to see that change. Sorry Jar. I guess this never got passed to Major Alpert or Aviaz. Frumby

nope, at least myself & my roommate didn't ... there is a certain amount of time that you are allowed to claim DLA, like 45 or 60 days ... so once your 6 weeks is up, you gotta get to Admin asap and fill out the proper paperwork, or yea, you'll get screwed out of it

Frumby ... oh well, life in the Corps i suppose

Yes, a little chilly, we started the range last Thurs. This weather is "extreme winter" to a west TX boy! When you did your cross-country did you have to land several times or did you aerial refuel?

I loved Pendleton. I wouldn't complain at all if I ended up there again.

sheew, i don't envy you bud, but i was there this time 3 years ago!

na, we didn't in-flight refuel. it ended up being two legs there and three legs back, i got to fly three of the five legs ... we had a centerline tank and a really strong tailwind so we made it to Vance AFB for gas, then on into Andrews AFB ... it was my first time into Vance AFB, quite desolate out there and very busy, but not as busy as the D.C. area! on the way back though that "really strong tailwind" was now a really strong headwind so we had to stop twice, Fort Smith AK & Albuquerque NM

Did you go into flight school wanting jets? I've always been fascinated with Helo's. I guess you were in the back seat for 2 legs? You graduated TBS June of 2000?
