Gone for a bit in 2 months
-
Basically, come January 5th, I will be gone for 3 months. If all goes well, I will then return home for 10 days, then leave for another 3-4 weeks, then after that have computer access again.
You may ask yourself why? You may not really give a damn if I was gone forever or here everyday. If you feel this way, fuck you.
After 2 months of waiting and going through hoops for my waivers to be processed and approved, I officially swore into the Marine Corps Delayed Entry program. My plans, so long as I graduate boot camp, is to go active duty. As of right now, i don't have a job chosen, but am looking into becoming an Intelligence Specialist.
Pheylan, aka GodoftheTwinkies, will hopefully soon be going through his OCS bootcamp. One day he'll be flying airplanes or helicopters like he did in BF2. I will be scared for the enemies sake./tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
So, 2 months to train... I'm excited and looking forward to boot camp. -
Yeah, to tack on to Gachi's post, pretty much the same day that he was getting all his final shit together, I found out that I got accepted into Navy Officer Candidate School and Navy flight school following completion of OCS. I'll probably be leaving around the same time as him, but I don't have a date yet.

haha, so true, now only if all those who played joined us.
Only difference is, Pheylan will be an officer in the Navy, flying planes or helicopters, while I'll be in the Marines fighting on the ground and doing specific type stuff related to my job. -

Was going nowhere, fast. Working retail is terrible and can't really afford to go back to school to get my bachelors, and an associate degree for Criminal Justice helps me with nothing.
Plus my family and I will be able to travel. -
QUOTE (xemplar @ Oct 26 2008, 12:50 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>traveling can take a toll on a family...it isn't always fun and games.
I'm used to it as my father is retired Navy. My wife is excited to travel, and if possible, we're looking at Okinawa, Japan as a place to go. Then while on vacation leave, we could go all over Europe. But I'm thinking too far into the future as I have to complete boot camp first.

Light be with you ( to much fucking wow lately) -
So, why the Marine Corps?
-
got a few friends in the Marine Corps. After doing extensive research on their training, their physical fitness, etc, I found the Marine Corps more of a challenge and more appealing.
I also did the Army thing back in 2001, and was disgusted by their misdiagnosis of me. Also, I'm seeing more and more, that their physical appearance isn't that of the Marine Corps. The fact the Marine Corps seems more professional and have a great appearance, both in uniform and physical fitness, is an attraction as well.
So in general, the challenge, benefits for my family, more money for college ($80,000) using the GI Bill, the chance to travel is rewarding in itself. I just need to make it through boot camp before I really focus too much on the other ideas. -
I P.T. with Marines every thursday. It's quite intense, since it's with a bunch of poolees about to ship out, so they prepare them for boot. Or at least as much as they can.
Just make sure you're working your ass off well in advance before you go. Whenever you think you can do enough, you need to do more.
Good luck. It's a hell of a title to earn.
(ps I'm shipping out this spring/summer) -
I wish you luck.

unavailable for comment.
Best of luck to ya. -
Yeah Gachi, I'll be at Paris Island MCRD sometime in the summer or late spring. Looks like you'll be getting out of there a little before me. I look forward to hearing the good news

ps they will probably laugh really hard they will hear gachi yelling like a girl like he does in bf2
"Son of a bitch! Hacks! There is no way that fag killed me again!" -
I don't think being pantless falls under don't look don't tell...

Zero, when do you ship?
Check out the website www.leatherneck.com and surf around on the forums. Be sure to fill out your profile, and before asking any questions in the poolee or Ask a Marine section, be sure to search for it first.
oh btw, had a mock Marine Corps Ball yesterday, wasn't anything huge.. small buffet, had a cake ceremony, showed us what a POW/KIA table looks like. It was a great learning experience.
Next Thursday we're running a PFT (3 mile run, crunches, and pullups). I've never ran 3 miles before, so I'm hoping I will do good on time. -
What is a good time for 3 miles? I remember back when I wrestled, I'd run three miles daily. I'd get around 42-43 minutes and still have energy to spare.
I'm thinking Marines would be closer to 30 minutes. -
Wow. I'd love to see you do it. GO GACHI!
-
If I ran 3 miles alone, I don't think I'd do it, but the fact that I'll be running with a bunch of other guys in the same boat I'm in, It'll make me push myself to stride faster. I'll post the results so long as they're not embarrassing.

that means we will not have any results -
Good luck to everyone and I'm sure you'll all do us proud.
