Dear Frederick, thank you for your nice letter, but I am actually a US Marine who was born to kill, whereas clearly you seem to have mistaken me for some sort of wine sipping, communist dick suck. And although peace probably appeals to tree hugging bi-sexuals like you and your parents, I happen to be a death-dealing, blood-crazed warrior who wakes up every day just hoping for the chance to dismember my enemies and defile their civilizations.

Like someone said earlier, it's not the exercises, it's constantly getting hazed and messed with. You can't say "I" anymore, you can't say "he". You can't scratch your face, you can't MOVE in any way unless told not to. Think about that for a second. Think about all the things you may do that you don't even think about. Scratching your leg, moving in your seat, rolling off your heels after standing for 10 minutes and shifting your legs a little bit. None of that.
I have friends who are/were reservists and they would constantly complain about going to drill. I always told them to quit their freakin' whining, they signed up for it and it's only a weekend.
If you break your nose again in boot and it's crooked, you'll simply get the surgery again to have it straightened for free. Don't worry about that crap.
How did it feel? To be honest? It sucked a lot of the time. But there were plenty of moments that made it all the worthwhile. You'll never make better friends or brother anywhere. You'll never meet more interesting people. You'll never have such interesting experiences when you're out. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Absolutely.Last edited by Hatebreed13; 02-08-2011 at 05:44 PM. Reason: need to add something after "it sucked" or else someone is going to take it the wrong way and nag me.

Corpsmen do alot more then dispense moltrin. He will need to learn everything about the US Marines history, especially for FMF. Im coming to the conclusion that you are a reservist? You think we drop marine corps history right after boot? you might, i and most of the marines in active units don't, im pretty proud in the fact that i know where and who i came from.Disregard Everything, Acquire Aesthetics Crew

Yes the Flushing Marine history and the Motrin dispenser were jokes. Sorry for trying to have a little fun. No disrespect was intended.
Yes, I was a Reservist, but Marine Corps History was not taken lightly. We had it drilled into us at EVERY turn. At my first unit (Tucson), we had to memorize EVERY Marine that won the MoH and what they did to earn it plus memorize every Marine Corps Commandant. At my second unit (Phoenix), we had to turn in a book report each drill on a book from the Commandant's Reading List. Over the years, I ran into a few Marines I knew from Tucson, and they were talking about having to watch documentaries on Marine Corps Battles and History, or recalling casualty figures from things like Belleau Boods, or the Inchon landing. The Phoenix unit just did classroom lectures oh history.
On a side note, I knew Corpsman went through Combat Training, but I had no clue they they also studies Marine Corps History.USMC - OEF/OIF Veteran

A buddy of mine who's Army got it done and it did not look like a cake walk. He was "technically blind" for like a week and had blurry vision for a few more weeks. I have an appointment for a specialist in a couple weeks so I guess I'll get that expert opinion. Thanks.
From what info I acquired, LASIK will not DQ as long as not one is not intending on an MOS in Combat or Combat Support. Army buddy told me this is why he got PRK rather than LASIK because he's combat engineer and his recruiter told him so. Still, I will get the info from both a specialist and recruiter. Thanks.
Side note:
There is a documentary call The Battle for Marjah showing on 2/17 on HBO. Its about "the Surge" in early 2010 if I'm not mistaken.

Should I make good gains on pull-ups without a program like recon ron, or the Armstrong program?
I find it too tempting to just do them pretty much everytime I enter my room, and just at intervals throughout my whole day... not sure if this is very beneficial though.I smash mics like cornbread, you can't kill me I was born dead.

Looking to join the Marines as an officer but still thinking about other officer programs of other branches. How are officers looked upon - those who has never gone through Marine enlisted?

Oh I see.
You have to figure out what branch you want first.
Marine officers who are not prior enlisted are judge on how they take care of their people and how good they are at there job. That's how I judged them.
If you're a moron, or someone who doesn't take care of your Marines you will be figured out early on.I wish everyone the best in achieving your goals

Agreed. It shouldn't matter how others look upon them.
How do YOU look up to them? If you're considering joining, it should be something you aspire to be, something you know you will have to work hard and really push yourself to obtain. In which case, Marine OCS is going to be a definite challenge for 99% of the candidates.
