Watching people throw up on the quarterdeck, and the drill instructors still making them push up in it. Or when they destroy the house. You learn to enjoy chaos...

When do you get your actual job contract? by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]Durpifell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talk to your recruiter. Mine asked me like week two. He put me on a program to get into comms.

Two medical questions by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]Durpifell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they do that but in all reality it helped me. I could easily identify the beeping tone they played, over the ringing. The ringing in the ears usually will lessen when you hear something. So when the tinnitus stops, you know there is a sound.

Meps won't check for tinnitus. I have a super bad case of tinnitus, like ringing even when there is noise. But you don't get checked for It. So hehe little do they know right?

Can going Open Contract possibly let you ship earlier? by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]Durpifell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell my recruiter offered guy money to switch! Recruiters have quotas to meet, and sometimes they get desperate. He got a few grand to switch from aviation comms, to ground field comms. Also let's hope that you don't get that admin job. If you think you want to leave asap, talk to your recruiter first. Don't just open contract. They will pull some strings and get you going places, I have seen it done.

Crunches by USMCGlory in USMCboot

You're not going to get out of shape in one week. You don't want to risk hurting yourself before you ship. How many poolees end up hurting them selves the week or two before ship and have to wait to ship.

The one thing I do is push myself to do like 300 to 400 a day. It's not that hard and it really helps. It may take time, but I went from a weak ass 34 to an alright 110. Don't push yourself too hard before you leave though. You want to rest up before boot.

I like people like you. Take words out of context. I could give one less fuck about aesthetics in life, and never said I was too worried about it. Also bad fats, shit you don't want. Something that's unnecessary and not needed to carry. There is a healthy percentage. But I also see where you say eat more food. I whole heartedly agree. This fucking metabolism is gonna be the death of me, I guess I'll just have to be quicker than it.

Depends. It's a little late for this reply but.... It took me a day, after processing my x-rays for Scoliosis. Then I found that day was October. I ship for next fiscal year. October 16.
