flashlight_65 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) With all due respect, what are you going in for? It is going to be an experience (good and bad. I met the love of my life because of the corps but also had to experience the repercusions of war also) but I tell you what there's no other feeling of pride like leading Marines. You'll learn a lot from them but once you "got it" (a little time in and knowledge) sheeeeit you can't help but feel all the hard work and sweat was well worth it. Good luck and have fun with it and learn "the game" to make light of some situations (even though mainly the enlisted will feel the pain).

Chaise Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Marine OCS huh? Never actually heard anything about that. Should be a good time. I know I loved Air Force BMT. Operational military sucks - initial training is the most organized part of your military career. You're told exactly what to do at any given time and only have to do a couple push ups in return...and by a couple I mean several hundred a day. Lol. Quote I like the oldschool one..

flashlight_65 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Marines don't have a medical field. Navy does that for us.

Plus daddy runs alway suck Sir I have been sensing you are a Marine or are at least related in some way? Depending on exactly what you mean by what im going in for, as I said on my build thread Im doing the air track, but Im guessing you are meaning "why" Im doing it? Just in case you are, serving one's country I feel is something that gets into everyone's head at one time or another. Beyond that, im the type of person who takes on a challenge. That is the reason ive done track for several years and also why I decided to throw away going to a "party school" etc for one of the top engineering schools in the country that I knew was going to kick my butt every day. So, why not go for the top and be a leader? Beyond that, ive always had the dream of flying, and this route should get me there, at least for the start. Hopefully that fairly well gives an idea, something like this is a bit difficult to fully explain why to a full extent. But, its a big deal and I definitely won't be taking it lightly. Also thanks for the other kind words from everyone In other news, Im in indy at the hotel. I have to be ready at 0500 to head to the airport, so incase this is my last post, see you guys later.

No, not questioning why you're joining SIR, just wondered what field you wanted to go to. It does what it's told..... Sir What do you want to fly? Fixed or rotary wing? Your senses are correct btw, been in almost 6 years Quote My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
