Thanks!

Hopefully after this week the next time anyone will hear from me will be on December 15th. This candidate does not want to get hurt.

I heard that its a good idea to bring a self contained stamp w/ your name in 1/2" capital block letters, is it just your last name or your first initial and your last name?

toward the end of ocs i was getting lazy and would use my stamp to put my name on the butt-tape of my rifle... nobody said a thing.

you can buy one of those in the q-town shop on leave... believe it or not, i still use mine today!

Did anyone take that 6 week pre ship 10 page quiz?

 

[Slammer2]

we just used last name - no first initial. some people had these stamps and used their first initial towards the end. I dont think the staff cared about that sort of thing the last week or two.

That one that asks if you have any new ailments or glasses or anything? Yeah.

 

[Wagner83]

Not that one. There's one on the Marine's website that has like 10 pages of pre shipping questions, like Marine Corps history, proper distance to salute, a bunch of multiple choice questions. Only reason I ask is because I just found it and don't know hardly any of it's material.

Host it on rapidshare and post the DL link.

Have you all learned any cadences? I threw some in my mp3 player and went for a run. probably looked like an idiot, but my OSO was saying it was good to go in knowing some.

 

[Zilch]

Ah, very nice! I bet that'll be helpful.

 

[Slammer2]

That test is supposed to be for people returning to Srs PLC. You wont be tested on that stuff during inprocessing but it will be on tests later on. As far as cadences, the staff wont be calling them for the most part. Its all candidates calling cadences the whole time. The only time our staff called them was during the moto run 2 days before the end. If you want to get out there and call some then I'd say learn them. Otherwise listen up for some of the priors to call them. And try not to do the C-130 cadence ad naseum

 

[Wagner83]

Cool. thanks Slammer2 for all the help.
