I leave in 5 days for Parris Island. Any Jarheads on Sup Forums? Anyone else enlisted waiting to go?

There are a lot of tryhard edgelords that post all the time about wanting to rape and murder babies and brown people.

I'm glad, for once, someone is actually acting on that urge. Good for you. Go rape and murder some brown children.

I was looking forward to raping the goats more but thanks all the same

Enjoy making sugar cookies.
I was lucky enough to go to lejeune.

Never forget, blood makes the grass grow. Spill blood!

>Making sugar cookies

wat

Lejeune is nice, I've been there once.

Heh. Run into the surf, then roll in the sand, then lay on the asphalt for 20 minutes. Hence, sugar cookies.
A fair warning. Eat BEFORE you get on the plane. They give you a food voucher in an orange envelope for the arriving airport. You will NEVER get to redeem that voucher. There will be a drill instructor at the arrival gate hawking out people with those orange folders

I'm taking a bus, shipping out of Columbia SC. But ya, I figured I would eat before I get on the bus. I don't imagine they'll greet us with dinner

2nd recon. Which is why lejeune.
What are you joining?

3043, Supply Admin and Operations. Lima Company for right now I think.

2nd Bravo.
Good idea for your MOS.
They played up recon. It's mostly sitting in a MRAP on top of the world's hottest mountain that day, waiting for instructions that never come.
Good luck recruit. Semper Fi.

Stay focused pup
Best\worst, longest\shortest thing you'll hate while your living and love thinking back on.

...

spent five years active, got out last year. welcome to best shitty time of your life.

The only reason you didn't write this in another language is because of the U.S. military

Yeah I wanted an MOS that was useable outside the Marines, something I could put on a resume. With this MOS it will give me education on business (To an extent, I plan on taking college while in)

I heard the same thing from my dad. It's the best of times and it's the worst of times.

Not a marine but build MRAP. You in an RG31

Not really.
We would not have lost WWII no matter what. The EUROCUCKS would be speaking german, but not us.

Sandniggers just blow us up, they will never get anywhere with it.

So maybe your great-grandpa and grandpa were in danger, but not in modern times

Also, there is nothing you can do that a drone cannot do quiter and more efficently.

>soldiers are paid with tax money which makes them lazy and useless
so do teachers need to "get off their asses and get their hands out of our pockets" too? I'd assume so because obviously whoever you had for economics didn't teach you jack and obviously should have been fired.

This

It's been 5 years. I have no idea what model we were in. There were two types. The early ones were tall and thin with vertical windows. The later ones were wider with slanted windows.
But I am super grateful you guys were building them. Heh.

I've seen reports of those things getting blown as high as telephone poles and the guys in them coming out with just their bells rang. I can't being to imagine how many lives those things have saved.

Call the first D.I. you see a pussy. Start it off right.

True story i actually told my Batallion commander to fuck off in basic during a run. Didnt actually know who he was or look at him. Just sound like someone i wanted to kick the shit out of in another platoon. Lt. Col. Estes. Went on a pretty cool 10 mile run with him personally after that. Nothing else came of it. Because i gained his respect on that run while talking about everything from military history in my family to him knowing i knew i fucked up and actually expected to be ran into the ground because of it.

Honorably discharged combat enginner, army.

They are lazy and useless, and they get paid to be lazy and useless.
Reading comprehension. Perhaps you should go back to elementary school and pay attention this time.
We are spending all this money on training, and it is not used anywhere beyond populating other countries us soil, so we spend money on them.

Teachers are paid by the STATE. Not the FEDERAL GOVERMENT

Where the fuck do you think the state gets its money

My 2 cents: Don't fuck around with the rules. As long as you put out effort, the corps will take care of you. I saw so many kids fuck around with beer/spice/coke/bath salts/other shit (they banned 4Loco...) and get dropped from the service like a hot potato. You've got a real shot at a good experience, lots of money, long-lasting friendships, and a resume bullet that will open doors. Don't fuck it up for a beer, or the price of a cab ride home. Watch out for your buddies too. You may seem like a douche, but a douche with a job and an Honorable discharge beats the cool kid with a OTH on his DD214.

Source: I was the one doing the dropping. Former JAG.

Not military, but starting in the police Academy this fall. Good luck man.

Nothing you said matters in the workplace.

Don't be first. Don't be last. I went about 6 weeks and the drill instructors didn't know my name. Get the bottom bunk. Take the stock of Mach 3 razors before you leave. You get more points on the PFT for pull ups than running faster. So.. pull-ups, crunches, run. Think... max, max, relax. Don't suck it in when getting fitted for uniforms - you'll get fat after you leave. Eat cake with dinner; you'll burn it off. Don't try to be a hero; do your time; live chow to chow; go home and fuck the hottest chick in your home town; then don't bring her to base - it'll be nice for a week, then she starts wanting to stay in your baracks room or your buddy's baracks room.

Have fun, devil. Never get out. It sucks out here.

yeah and they also let you army faggots use your phones in boot camp, try that in USMC bootcamp and they would fucking break you

Don't listen to
Higher work ethics are formed in any branch of the government, that's why citizens could never understand.

I don't plan on ever smoking anything or drugs, and keeping drinking very very responsible. I have never been one to party, but I'll take your good words of advice and watch out for my buds.

Definitely dont fuck around with drugs or any stupid shit. You will get caught. I fucked up once and almost got popped on a random. I was actually a hard worker no other issues but was stationed at my home town. Civy friends had pot. Dont do it. Also if going in plan to retire. You wont regret having your first retirement in your mid to late 30's.

>Can't join the Air Force because im too light.

feelsbadman

I've been in convoys that took a few hits, but never been hit myself. The only time we ever lost a man was to IDF. Thanks for your work.

Poolee here in Texas, ship to MCRD san diego sometime in october

as in you dont weigh enough? workout take creatine and mass gainer and fucking drink beer. stop making excuses fucking air force i swear to god man.

Poolee, I'm telling you right fucking now

I don't care how much water you drink, or how much you run, you need to do fucking more. You will never drink enough water before you leave.

>Air Force
>Not calling it the Chair Force

what do you mean?

No they didnt you dumbass. I was a fucking combat unit and went through in 99.

Combat engineer. I was the motherfucker standing around with c'4 satchels in my ruck and bangalores on my shoilders smoking a cig while grunts ran from us.

I was working on becoming eod while they were still god like status. But an injury cut my career short. Lost hearing.

>citizen
There goes your pompous attiude.

>work ethic
Every military man i've met under 35, has been such fucking assholes, they dont have merit or shit. They think they are special, still riding on the 9/11 bandwagon.

You're not special
You never were
Thats why you joined the military
So you would be told how to do EVERYTHING in your life, with no free thought.

>goverment
So all those high level jobs that are being brought in from the private sector?

I was kinda skeptical of this advice lol

USMC Core values require absolute obedience, if I tried callind a DI a pussy day 1 they'd probably either section 8 me or refusal to learn/take orders.

i mean i respect all the branches but the air force is full of the most lazy half ass unmotivated people ive ever met. Theres a lot of people in the airforce that are cool and work hard but its the branch that lures in lazy fucks with their E-1 one room dorms and non combat MOS's

ITT: Jarheads who think they matter at all

You

NEED

To drink more water

Start with a gallon a day. Carry around a milk jug, nobody gives a shit. I did it when I was a Poolee

obviously there was no cell phones in 99, however today the Army lets them use their phones on a DI decieded basis.

Yeah I totally support all branches, but AF definitely needs to change some shit

you still havent told me WHY i need to drink more water.

i drink a good amount but i also enjoy my fermented beverages..... 21 year old poolee of course

Just have great work ethic and dont be a idiot. Honestly.

I wasn't going to. He's clearly got a chip on his shoulder. I've taught every HR/recruiter type I've met how to read DD-214s, and which copy to ask for. I screen probably 30-50 ex-military resumes a year as they are applying for positions with an average salary of 80-100K. I can spot a shitbag a mile away.

If you do fuck up, downplay your service, or don't even mention it, because if you put military experience on your resume, I (and most other vets in a position to hire you) will do my fucking homework. If there's dirt, it will get found.

Also what this guy said. This is the best consolidated advice in this whole thread.

I used to think that too. Then I realized an E1 Marine gets paid the same as an E1 Air Force. They actually get a little more if their 'dorm room' isn't carpeted

my dude i leave same day

>Of course, Of course. No arguing here :^)

The first phase for me, I figured out I didn't drink enough. Like half the guys in my platoon didn't. My tongue became so dry it felt like leather. I don't know, maybe you do drink enough water, but seriously. It was a god damn problem for me when I was going through Recruit Training. Hyperventilating, blacking out, all that shit comes along with not drinking enough water.

80-100K a year for just military background or college added onto that?

yeah man my biggest worry about boot camp is that i have a small bladder and if i drink a lot of water i piss every 10 minuets, ive come to peace that i will end up pissing myself a couple of times

Two tours in Iraq. Got out in 2010. You will have a good time man. Enjoy every minute of it.

-Dont do drugs
-Stay away from hookers (wrap that shit up)
-(Try) to stay away from bars (with a lot of civilans/strangers you dont know) or if you go make sure you have a battle buddy.
-Dont drink on Sundays when you have formation on Monday at 0600 hrs
-Domt fuck other Marines wives while they are deployed and you are stuck on base. Dick move and you could possibly get yourself fucked up.
-family comes first, while deployed or on base dont forget to call thise close to you. They are just as important as the new brotherhood you will acquire.

Just a few suggestions off the top of my head.

They cannot refuse you to use the head. Just keep that in mind. They can't control your bladder anymore than you can.

>Water
>Head
>Food
>Religion
>Medical Aide

those are the things they can't refuse you

My nigga

Where from? What's your Platoon?

Oh! Always save your paperwork. Everything range scores certs. Make sure to get them as certified copies. If you have a run in with mp's victim or whatever. Get copies of reports. Get copies of everything military related!!!!!! When you get out and are trying to do stuff with the v.a. IT WILL MAKE LIFE EASIER 1000% alot of those records are discarded after an amount of time.

im from pa and i think im in 1st and lima

for sure, but im positive they can make your 3 months hell if you are constantly asking for head calls

Some college, or equivalent training. They're IT consulting roles. 40-70 hr weeks, base starts at 80s for our firm, but if you've got industry relevant experience, that will escalate. Most ex-mil candidates did 4-6 years enlisted, or 4-5 officer. I get suspicious when I see less time-in-service than that.

Sandfleas. Getting slayed. It's only a few months. But getting that EGA.. No better feeling. Hoo rah!

>implying i haven't been working out and taking creatine

>implying im 21

assuming everything isn't healthy user

I'm Lima too

RCT Wilson, if you hear that name getting shouted :^) Good luck my dude, see you on graduation. (hopefully)

Hooah

last names Miles

dude quit being a pussy and just drink anyways, ive put on 20 pounds in the last 3 months working out and eating a lot, its not easy but it aint impossible

Hooah to you, Marine. Thanks for the IST advice

because of this I am asking why you don't give our boys some AC in those vehicles?

Poolee from Indiana. Did you get your referrals in, boy?

Some of that stuff can be turned into college credits. Too. Just trust me get copies of all paperwork. The military will only hold onto that stuff so long and when dealing with v.a. they often want certain things that the military may no longer have records of. Just trust me. Everything! Been having a hard time getting compensation for 2 years now because the fucking army doesnt keep certain records.

Also and again, retire. Retiring in your high 30's is good. I didnt injury but i regret not everyday. When i know a lot of people who have.

>Did I get my refferals in

I have four people that enlisted because of me, 2 in the DEP, one is already a Marine. One is waiting for age into DEP

yo Wilson u got kik

Caiman mraps have the best Ac ever! Army fag here iraq 09-10

Drink that canteen they give you. Hydrate. You might get pneumonia early on so go to medical before you get dropped to RSP, like me :( (Hollywood recruit who never graduated)

Bring goddamn bug spray. Sand fleas like a motherfucker

I do but my iPod broke so I'm Sierra Oscar Lima. Won't have a mobile until after recruit training.. you have an email you're willing to toss out?

Anyone, is bug spray even allowed/provided? I've heard a lot about the sand fleas at PI

If they ship you out to Iraq or Afghanistan, bring porn and travel sized liquor bottles (like the kind they serve on airlines)

both of these items are barter gold with the locals.

shoooot
email this shit one and ill give my better one

Man open you are lucky. I'm planning on joining after I finish my last year of high school

It's Oorah, fuck knuckle. Hooah is Army. Hooyah is Navy.

It's only the IST for the very first time when you get there. PFT from then on. If you can't do 2 pullups or run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes, you're already screwed.

Oh yeah, volunteer to be the 'house mouse.' Special treatment during field day

It was 20 yrs ago my mos was ground pounder you are going to love the pits
Semper Fi

Don't do it. Go air force.

13:30

Provided? Ha

"STOP FRIKKIN SCRATCHING"

Former Marine here
Wasted 4 years of my life
Wish I never joined
Gi bill wasn't worth it
Ended up just being a hvac technician once I got out
Could of just did that from the get go
but decided decided to forfeit years of my life.
My advice is to find something that makes you money, not something you like
Just make dough and don't be a beta faggit and go out and enjoy life
Just my ramblings

Talk to your recruiter like I did and join the DEP. They keep you in shape. You can sign up after your junior year.

>Inb4 Sup Forums's age limit is 18

Keep that shit on the DL, you jail bait fag

1.5 mile time for men in 12:30 i believe 14 minuets is for women, either way if you cant run a mile and a half in 12:30 you should probably kill yourself

you'll washout, don't you worry.

:D

That's an easy E-3 my boy. About a year of waiting for promotions just swept under the rug.

Your ramblings have been heard, thank you user.

Don't bring your own. You'll buy it there. But you'll only use it to clean stuff, like removing glue residue off your rifle's buttstock.

11:52, OP here

>volunteer to be the 'house mouse.'

no. don't fucking volunteer for anything. keep your head down.

Fucking grunt faggots make sure you keep sending checks to your gf so she can take me out to eat
