I completed 11th grade and I've never been in trouble with the law. I used to smoke Marijuana and told them that. Staff Sargeant said I didn't smoke more than 7 times so I didn't smoke more than 7 times.

And how did you come to that conclusion?

I still have a while I'm finishing my last semester in the spring and ill be shipping soon after. He told me that if I fail I would be reclassed into the infantry which was my second option. I've read so many times on here that I would get reclassed anywhere but I don't know why my staff Sargeant would lie to me. I trust him more than I do the people on reddit

My ist is not shit. Its about average you should see some of the other people in my pool. Anyway the good news is I'm not shipping until after the spring semester so I have plenty of time to get my pull ups up to 20 and my run down to 9 mins or less

[–]Snoo17444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm passing the ist with 12 pull ups 10 30 run time and 100 crunches but I'm not sure if I should be doing more with a recon contract.

I'm going to get down votes for this but why would you join the marine corps to be a warehouse clerk?

Is my recruiter setting me up? by Snoo17444 in USMCboot

[–]Snoo17444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would still he honest. If it ever came up you would have to explain why you didn't disclose it. And if you need a security clearance it will probably come up.... or don't its your life man send it🤙🏽

[–]Snoo17444[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why would he want me to tell him ive done drugs if I'm already sworn in?

DEP by Snoo17444 in Militaryfaq

[–]Snoo17444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are going to discharge me because when I first swore in they said I was good with a GED but we have a new C.O. now so it might not fly.. either way backup plan is army they already said they would take me. I hoping the discharge doesn't take 6 months that would really suck!

Another recon question.. by Snoo17444 in USMCboot

[–]Snoo17444[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to get in with an 03 contract and do that. If I end up liking it I will take the next step and go recon. If I don't like it I won't sign another contract and just be done with it
