not for everyone. its demanding both mentally and physically. most people will just say its easy because they completed it. once you do that anything thats hard can seem so trivial when you look back on it. one thing i reccomend though. never give up. it will make things so much easier on yourself and others. when you feel at your worst you push a little harder. Personally i like the Corps. You'll make some amazing friends and have the most fun you had in your life. AS WELL as the crappiest times in your life. if you need any help just pm me.

[lee-mill]

thanks for everything guys, and yes i am no where near a marine yet. i must earn that title. man i cant wait, january is not comming fast enough hahaha

[perk96]

[lee-mill]

haha nope, at least i dont think i am.

[2002redSdime]

well oorah. i've been in the fleet a few monthes now at camp lejeune. i must the training phase of your career is not like the fleet. now the PT keeps going but it does get better. when you get down and in FML mode just remember it gets better in the fleet. put out and do your best, don't do stupid shit and stay moto. this coming from a not so dicked up boot lol

[lee-mill]

idk he just got there about a week ago, i can find out what unit he is in if yahll want. his name is chris floryan and his MOS is radio communications. on a side note have any of you come into a gunny sargent named rutledge? he used to be a recruter by me

well if hes attending school then he is probably near me. the radio comm guys are right across from the data guys

[lilphyscokid]

yea we would need to know what unit, or if hes in school cause tony is in school and im stationed here so that would make a big difference.

[lee-mill]

yea hes in school, just started school on monday last week.

[lee-mill]

and yea its the stumps, this place is sooo boring. there are some bagged rides out here,
ive seen them all, from an 08 silvarado layin frame on 24's to a doored dakota on 22's

[lee-mill]

o got another question real quick, how fast did you run the IST? i ran it in 11:20 and my recruiter said thats pretty bad

[lilphyscokid]

honstly the ist dont really matter, its all about the pft just make shure you can run it within 13 min i think it is? or youll stay in receving untill you can do it,

but again IST arent really important you only do it once, and than youll do pfts and cft's


oh and btw if it gonna be your first time over here just let me tell you 29 does not do the west coast justice lol

like me and tony are from the bay (over by SAn Fransisco and oakland area)
and down here is nothing like back home

ok cool, cause i was like wtf when he said that haha. and yea i didnt think that that area would be like the west coast, either way im still pumped to go out there, lol get the hell out of ny for a couple dsays

[lee-mill]

yea cause i ran like 1130 when i did the ist, but my pft time was like 2030ish wich is pretty good i guess.

[lee-mill]

yea that seems legit for three miles.

[s10audi0499]

you go to boot in Jan right? if so you will be at SOI/MCT when im an instructor there.. hahaha ive been in too long

[lee-mill]

yea jan 4th i ship out, and o rly? haha thatd be cool if you were an instructor there

[Xtony]

yeah the IST doesn't count for much really as long as you can make it. i think i did it about 1145 or 12:00ish which is really bad since you need to get it in 13 min lol. but my PFT is 22 min which is decent. yeah the littleton is the POG chow hall but the officers seem to like it lol.
yeah the stumps is nothin like back at home. i cant wait for this weekend. going back for the 96 and starting my 4-link on the rear suspension!

[lee-mill]

cool thanks for the info.

and good shit on that 4link, kind of a weird question but can you work on your cars if you're stationed on a base? or is it like living in a apartment complex where you cannot

[lilphyscokid]

no youll be in the barrkks however you spell that, your not allowed to work on vehicles in the parking lot there is an automotive center were you can work on shit there, but i heard there hella strict and wont even let you use the welder unless you have a certification.

i just use my bodys off base, or he brings it to my house.

[lee-mill]

k thats what i kind of figured. also is it worth having a car when you are stationed on a base?

[JohnnyDigits]

I'm at lejeune. Not havin a car on base will suck! Here and bases in cali are huge and have several different zip codes if that gives you idea of size. There are hobby shops for all to use but are crowded and you will have to follow guidelines. Best bet to find someone with same interests in cars that has a garage. Check out the southeast sub-forum if you plan on being at lejeune. Low Class Mini's is gettin pretty large. Deuces...

[lee-mill]

o goodshit man. thanks for the heads up.

[lilphyscokid]

yea when you stationed some where Get a CAR lol you dont want to be stuck on base especially here on 29.

[lee-mill]

alright cool lol. o quick question as well, should i know all my general orders before i ship to boot? i know like the first 5 already so i was thinking of just learning the others within the next 3 months

[Xtony]

you wont be able to get a car until you finish your MOS school first of all. unless the school is like a year long. but you can always get a bike!

i would def recommend knowing your general orders, rank structure, and, if possible, some basic drilling. the more knowledge you learn before you go to boot the less you gotta worry. and trust me the less you worry the better boot will go. i learned ANYTHING i could before i went to boot so really all i had to learn was the medical stuff and some history. it helps because it puts less stress on you.

[lee-mill]

ok cool. yea i guess my school is like 7months or some shit. i have the rank structure down and a good amount of drill because we do that at the poolee meets
