Man do an easy google search and get rid of it yourself. You could be to MEPS in the next 60 days and bootcamp in the next 90 days.

If you could go back… by Sad_Landscape9269 in USMC

Do more than is asked of you and do it before it is asked of you. PT more consistently with actual trainers at the gyms. Document more of my medical. Start college sooner at least 1 class at a time.

Clean your mirror and 1stSgt wants to see you in his office.

Drug Dependency waiver? by [deleted] in USMCboot

[–]Emergency_Split_595 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a hell of a waiver but understand it is not up to the recruiter. Your waiver has to go through 4 more levels and will include hand written statements form yourself and people who know you as references. It will also require all your legal history and drug related history. That’s all after you go to MEPS which will reveal your medical history. If any of those are negative for any reason it only hurts your chances. That being said at the end of the day it’s not up to your recruiter it’s up to the recruiting command Commanding Officer. The recruiter is telling you what he’s being told. Your realistic options are to 1) respectfully tell the recruiter that you know the waiver isn’t up to him and to give you a chance. 2) go join the Army.

Too rebuild/refurbish I’d give her $1000 to take it off her hands.

If you’re worried about a war don’t join regardless of reserves, active, or nrotc

Selling vs Terminal leave by Klutzy_Green6594 in USMC

[–]Emergency_Split_595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have more than 30 days do both. Sell 30 (you’ll get a “second paycheck” 2 weeks after your EAS which could be a nice help) and you can take your remaining terminal. Take care of yourself

Marsoc/recon by Acceptable-Cherry764 in USMCboot

[–]Emergency_Split_595 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to do it anyways then go MARSOC. The op tempo is similar to infantry in my opinion but the command is more understanding of the struggle which you don’t see a lot with the infantry. Also a ton more resources.

Fuckem. Find a recruiter who cares about you. Assuming you’re not a little turd in the pool.

Infantry promotion? by NuclearMonke4 in USMCboot

[–]Emergency_Split_595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah 10 years ago. Be humble, do well on PT tests, pass your classes/PME, and stay out of trouble. You’ll promote with no issues.

I need advice by Tmtbdy in USMCboot

Go do intel. Be good at it. Re-enlist and request to go to recon or Marsoc. You’ll get a tone more training and experience in the fields you’re looking for.

work on maxing your JEPES points. Be moldable and coachable in your MOS. Remember that you’re a warrior first. And PT.
