what would really piss me off is, loading up everything to head up to Pendelton just to turn around and head back for graduation - I like on the island I can just walk where I need to go (even though its on their course, at their speed and I could just go faster if they would let me go through the woods while avoiding the deer )usmarine2005 wrote:

Cram as much Marine Corps history and trivia into your mind as possible. The last thing you want to be doing is hitting the books on little-to-no sleep.keghog wrote:
I'm leaving next Monday, (august 13) for Parris Island, for marine corps boot camp. This is both a goodbye to the forums, as well as a request for anything that could save me a little trouble, from anyone who has been through it already. Any advice would be appreciated.

Don't drop the soap.
If you do dont get any food sent and tell your buddies not to send you porn as a joke, because the DIs will make you life hell.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:
I got a tip, if marine bootcamp is anything like army OSUT. DO NOT GET CARE PACKAGES SENT TO YOU.
Good luck, gods speed and Semper Fi
You do know that is against OPSEC right? You can be court martialed and then possible confinement up to 5 years and loss of pay.keghog wrote:

Oh come on...nobody's giving away blueprints and critical secrets, here. And for all the 'enemy' knows, this entire thread is a mass of misinformation. Chapter III's header is irrelevant in this case, because his entire family likely knows of his departure time and destination, and have probably told all their friends.ghostgr wrote:

more like you are inches away from freedom in the skies. It sucks for people who are from southern california I hear. They get sent to bootcamp only miles away from their backyard.SgtHeihn wrote:

Fucking aircraft. We got trashed on a regular basis because we couldn't hear the DI yell out commands during Drill.
FUCK.
