To all the soon to be shippers always remember; be loud, be fast, do what you are told, don’t make yourself too known as a troublemaker. Fastest way out of boot camp is by graduation. Other else than that, keep your motivation up and drive through one day you’re gonna look back in boot camp and think all the shenanigans you went through and laugh about it.

Advise to everyone going to bootcamp, Have plenty of cardio exercise by that means make Sure you can run 18 min in 3 mile. Sounds off all the time, take it one day at a time. This will be the most memorable and biggest achievement in your life. been out for 20 yrs.

My Grandad Alex was Marines my Moms dad RIP 😞🥺 1936-2021 he served 10 yrs way back 1956-1966 he was an MP E6 Staff Sgt after the Corps he was a Cop for 30 years 1966-1996 he retired a Captain 🇺🇸👍🏽

You dont need to be a tri athlete to make it. Train accordingly and rest a full week before you ship out. Make sure you can run 3 miles in 24 minutes or less (aim for 21) make sure you can do a 1:30 plank (aim for 2 minutes) and make sure you can do at least 5 pullups palm out from a full dead hang (aim for 8-10) if you are at those numbers before you ship you will be physically ready for what Boot Camp will hit you with. Physically, the mental part will be up to you and how you deal with it (homesick, being told when to shower, when to move, waking up at 4 in the morning etc.) Its what you make of it. If you quit, you will spend an extended period of time in receiving a place called RSP. RSP is where your soul can truly die, so the fastest way out is to graduate.

im goin coast guard active, but marines were def my 2nd choice. Nothing like a proud title of a marine.

The scene with the boot camp haircut reminded me of a couple of movie scenes where guys had their long hair get cut down to nubs. Then I also thought that some of the haircut recipients were paying homage to the barbers for their service as well by giving the barbers some long locks to cut. This somehow also reminded of a time when I was walking to my office with a Gunny from the parking lot to the entrance, and I shoved my hands in pockets because it was chilly. The Gunny immediately looked at me, and sternly asked if I was testing her. My hands quickly and promptly came out of my pockets with the reply, no, Gunny, absolutely not. BTW, I was a LtCol at the time.

And these tools will get into the fleet and realize that Marine Corps real life is lame and depressing. At 25 they'll be busy saluting grown men and women, some of whom will be younger than them while their peers are buying homes and making 6-figure salaries. So lame.

The DI’s have tailored sleeves on their Service Charlies, and I’ve never seen that anywhere else since I joined NROTC in college in 1987. It looked particularly sharp because details matter. The Marines should have recruiters do the same thing. Maybe even set up a couple day period of instruction with a cadre and curriculum developed by both MCRDs to help recruiters look good in public.

We do look good in public. Just because you've seen a few bad apples doesn't mean we all look bad. You also have to remember, it's harder for us out in the streets to keep our uniforms tailored because we're usually away from military bases and the tailors out in town won't know the regulations like on base tailors would. However, as I said, as Marines we should be looking good regardless.

In 2021 they did a couple of test runs. Starting in 2023, females from the west coast began training in San Diego. Around the same time, Paris Island's 4th Recruit Training Battalion was deactivated. Recruit companies are all gender-integrated now, though individual platoons are still single gender. Most companies, in practice are still males-only, simply because there are comparatively fewer female recruits.

I’ve seen short guys make it and a few fat ones too. It’s mostly a mental thing.

Please DO NOT allow Ukraine to fall, this will be a disaster for the whole of Europe. Respect and much love to the only global superpower from your humble NATO ally - Bulgaria! P.S.: Some history trivia for y'all - if Stalin, the russians and their NKVD agents hadn't poisoned our tsar (monarch) Boris III in 1943, my country (Bulgaria) would have exited the war on the side of the US and UK as active negotiations were launched and in effect. Stalin and the russians couldn't allow that to happen and we paid the price for 80 years by being violently dragged with guns aimed on our backs, to being part of the Eastern Bloc. PLEASE do not allow this to happen to Ukraine. I firmly believe the US, UK and English-native speaking nations from the Commonwealth are the bulwark against the russian madness. But now its Ukraine that needs help
