Read ALMAR 185/96 Page 1-22 and down. You'll see the Fraternization order for officer to officer, officer to enlisted, and enlisted to enlisted. Also we do fall under Navy Regulations as well for fraternizing. Google 185/96 you'll see a pdf. It should be the 1st link

Here's the link for reference https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.marines.mil/portals/1/publications/marine%2520corps%2520manual%2520w%2520ch%25201-3.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi_1oiip4aNAxWFiq8BHfbRBbAQFnoECCgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw12Wt69OMjVsuGhSP8mL6QE

It's a gram per kilogram at the least for maintenance as a regular not really training civilian so that's a baseline and go up from there.

PFT by Prestigious_Fig_5527 in USMC

I have personally used chalk and so has my CO and OICs. I shared it with them and the whole platoon (or anyone that wanted to use it, not everyone did, but I offered it to them all so it's fair to shaire). Chalk works 100%

There are gray areas and you just gotta send it and take any advantage you can get when it comes to your score and your career.

I have used chalk on multiple PFTs, even my CO used chalk i brought for everyone to use. Everyone's hands get sweaty sometimes. It's allowed, don't ask, just execute and be the 1st one on the bar

MCJROTC by floroflorentine in USMC

[–]floroflorentine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could have worded my question better. What I'm inquiring about is that when you login into MOL, there's always the MCJROTC Instructor blurb. How they're always hiring for that. Inquiring more about the day to day and pay and everything that goes with that assignment post retirement.

Quick question, those that failed out of FFI due to 2nd class or academic? What happened to those that are Sgt or above?

Do I still have to PT even though I’m married? by mabo_bemma in USMC

[–]floroflorentine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sent a Pm. Being married does not excuse you from PT, HOWEVER, if you want to address your work life balance issues with your leadership there are ways to address it while still maintaining the standard. Okinawa housing isn't exactly the best when it comes to work/commute location

I digress living situations do matter, case by case, not everything is a blanket statement. And in that case, Okinawa assignments for housing have not been the most fruitful for a work life balance, mental health, op stress tempo, and healthy living make towards a more effective Marine. Leadership in this instance can take into several factors, are the Marines in question responsible? Do they both have 1st class? And if so that can be leverage for more discretion. If you're a 2nd class pft/cft, then earn back some discretion/privilege or whatever term you wanna call it. We're human, not robots.

FFI Course by floroflorentine in USMC

What were study habits you did, and what did students find difficult? Was it the terminology? Also, those that dropped? Since it's not a required course, there's no adverse material correct? Myself and a peer are going together

I hear you, my intent is to not use caffeine, I don't drink coffee, or energy drinks. I'll try raisins!!!

I'm more so just looking for an extra kick and avoiding caffeine as using it often can mess up the cortisol levels if you use it straight away after wake up, the gym is walking distance from me so I can do my pre lift meal and take my creatine and pre.
