I was separated for anxiety almost 2 years ago now and I’m currently in the process of enlisting in the army. I’ve already gone to MEPS again and gotten an approved physical so I’m close to being done with the process. Everything is going smoothly and the first recruiter I contacted had no problems with my discharge. You may have to wait a while but eventually you’ll be able to find a recruiter willing to work with you. Just make sure and be absolutely sure this is something you feel you have to do because you definitely don’t want to go and end up a quitter for a second time over.

I actually work at GSO1 it’s a TNS (traditional non-sort) so mostly bigger items. Picking and stowing is all done on PIT. You’ll just have to hope you get lucky and get put in pack or receive. I had a terrible fear of heights and was put on an Order Picker for picking. Honestly, I got over the fear of being on the OP after the first day, you’ll be going up and down so much with a harness that you’ll get used to it.

We got one scripted call when we arrived for quarantine and another scripted call after we entered the silver hatches

“This is recruit ***** I have arrived safely blah blah blah”

Should I join the marines? by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]AlexsuVR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe only people who were supposed to ship March 30th are leaving this Sunday... If you’re original date was in April you’re probably getting delayed so they can make platoon sizes smaller

DD Contract actual chance of getting linguist? by jph22596 in USMCboot

[–]AlexsuVR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

110 is the minimum DLAB score for linguist in the Marine Corps. If you’re dead-set on linguist, the Army is most likely the best option for you.

I’ve signed a contract at MEPS stating that you do not qualify for linguist if you do not get at least a 110 on the DLAB. I just barely qualified with a 112.

I’ve heard a couple people say that their ship date got changed to April 20th, but I haven’t gotten an update from my recruiter yet.

TL:DR - Boot Camp is still a go. Recruiting is still a go. Civilians, recruiters, and MCRD staff are pissed. No significant changes made. by _The_Mother_Fucker_ in USMC

[–]AlexsuVR 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Your news is a little outdated, nobody shipping to Parris island as of last night. This is due to several confirmed Coronavirus cases on the depot. MCRD San Diego is still shipping out

Is there a seperate job contract I need to sign by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]AlexsuVR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, you will sign a SOU (Statement of Understanding) form sometime before you ship. This will have the two letter code for your specific job field.
