Re: Wish me luck!
You rock, Fischer!
Just don't make the mistake of letting other recruits at MEPS talk you into drinking and partying all night the night before the physical. Both times I went to MEPS, I saw a ton of potential recruits get the boot for failing the breathalyzer in the morning after partying all night.
As long as you are drug free and have a pretty clean criminal background, you should be good to. Just try to get into a specialty that has relevance in the civilian world if you can. It will make yuor job prospects better when you get out.
Good luck!Comment

Re: Wish me luck!
That is what im shooting for. Right now im going to a community college for business administration, so becoming an officer would be a good way to establish more experience for any kind of future work. (I want to open my own car detailing shop)Originally posted by William_F View Post

Re: Wish me luck!
Good luck in your adventures in the Corps! I initially chose the Marines, I wanted to be an MP but the recruiter told me that I was too short.
Joined the Army instead and got to play with a 4.5 million dollar, 72 ton M1A1 tank
for 3 years. Ahhh the memories! Now as a reservist I get to play with pre Vietnam era deuce and a half's....don't really know how that happened but hey, it's still fun!
Like others have said, don't get into any trouble.....especially at MEPS, I suspect they stick you in a hotel over night on purpose to see if you'll go hog wild.
Also one of the most important things you'll learn about in the military is to never become complacent with your surroundings! Always know your surroundings and be ready to "cowboy up" in a nano second!
Basic training is just as mental as it is physically demanding. When the brown rounds are chewing your butt out for what may even seem trivial, keep in mind that it is not personal (they're not doing it to get their jollies), but it is to prepare you for the stresses of combat. They need to "toughen" you up so that you'll keep your cool in "the ****" and in the unfortunate event that you become a POW.
With all that said, good luck and godspeed to you Marine!
It's a fantastic journey...one that you WILL NERVER FORGET!

Re: Wish me luck!
Thanks everyone for the support!
I met with the recruiter today. We discussed couple things and options. From the looks of it, i would rather go into active duty because there arent any jobs in reserve that are appealing.
As for breaking the news, im going out with my dad tonight over beers to discuss whats going on. Then im going to start dropping hints to my mom and on Friday the recruiter is coming over to talk to her.Comment
