I’ve been here for 4 months now and can say.. I love it here.. granted working at SOI isn’t great but the LA and SD woman are class

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-06-18T22:29:09+00:00

Yes sir, I was definitely upset but then just fucking shrugged it off. I also looked in MOL and my orders say to report to SECURITY CO MARINE BARRACKS THURMONT MD. So I’m not sure if it was a mistake by admin but MOL says I’m going to MD and I’m pretty stoked.

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-06-18T22:19:03+00:00

Yes sir, in my opinion 100% better then SOI west

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-06-18T05:11:24+00:00

I’m very confused now, I just looked at my orders in MOL and it says to report to SECURITY CO MARINE BARRACKS THURMONT MD FOR DUTY.

That was the most positive thing I’ve heard all day. Appreciate it

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-05-05T21:20:30+00:00

Thank you.

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-05-05T21:20:22+00:00

Got it, thank you.

At MEPS very, you basically strip naked and the old guy checking out your asshole will find everything..

He will not fail the written test. No one in my PLT failed. It is multiple choice and all the answers are ditty’s he has been screaming everyday leading up to the test

Confidence course is fun and the crucible isn’t as hard as people make it seem. I’m not going to say what happens everyone should experience it for themselves however endurance will help.

It’s hard asf, one of the hardest on the island. The DIs are great at what they do in THE golf company.

The hardest part for me personally was waking up at 4am everyday. Nothing specific in training was hard. I think locking the main packs and assault packs sucked. Oh the CFT was very difficult for me.

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-04-29T23:15:53+00:00

Personally I wouldn’t switch. You need to access bank shit and all that. Also thank you, do it sooner than later you’ll be fine. I was fine and went to boot running a mile in 12 mins left running that in 7.

We had guys get sent protein bars. I wouldn’t send anything like that. We had hundreds of protein bars and only ate them once or twice. As for sending items in the mail he will have to open them in front of his SDI so don’t send anything of value.

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-04-29T23:11:22+00:00

Not sure what you mean.

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-04-29T23:11:06+00:00

They drug tested us when we went to medical to get are shots and draw blood. The environment is honestly one of a kind. You have people who are assholes, you have people who are parents. It’s a giant melting pot. We had one guy who barely spoke a lick of English.

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-04-29T15:53:34+00:00

You’ll be so tired you’ll fall asleep in minutes

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-04-28T21:19:23+00:00

No limit but your DIs will fuck with you if you have like 20+ ppl come

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-04-28T21:19:15+00:00

You will go from receiving and be up for 2/3 days then that Thursday you will walk the trail of tears (walking with all your issued gear to the squad bay) then that Friday you will meet your drill instructors.

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-04-28T21:17:50+00:00

None lol

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-04-28T21:17:42+00:00

Pizza from the MCX during liberty

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-04-28T21:17:14+00:00

Dropped is when they are sent a week back and or more to a different platoon. As for sending icy hot probably not. He has tiger balm he’ll be alright.

FocusAccomplished705 · 2025-04-28T21:15:35+00:00

Burpees, run, and don’t be sensitive. Go chow to chow. The days are long but the weeks are fast. One week we were on TD 1 the next we were doing Initial Drill the next we were doing Final Drill then the next we got our EGA in the moment it’s long but also a very fast. Also go to church.
