Yes I was serious, I don't take anything for granted especially with, no offense, someone who isn't in yet.

I went to Navy OCS, we didn't say any of that crap (although our Marine Corps Drill Instructors did)...

In any case...one of my good friends is also headed to Quantico on 31 May. Have fun

yocan...what type of contract did you get picked up on? Air or ground?

When I was on recruiting duty, I typed up a good study guide for candidates getting ready for OCS. It has all sorts of knowledge that you will learn at OCS. It would be a good idea while the stress, sleepless nights and DI's aren't a part of your everyday routine to learn some of it. If you want, PM your email address and I'll send it to you.

My apologies, I guess I should have stated that I am a Marine. I went through boot already, so I at least decently have an idea as to what I'm doing. With that I would have been justified in asking if you were serious, on the flipside, with that you wouldn't have asked. So sorry for not putting down enough information.

Yocan is in. He's enlisted at the moment.

Have fun, Yocan. 28 May is the 8th anniversary of the day I checked in for PLC junior. It's gonna be hot and humid. I was just down there for a couple weeks getting a class. (I am now a tacticool logistician.) Good luck.

I was down in P-Cola for MOS school in Oct. Nov. and half of Dec. That place was cold in the mornings. They had us out PTing in 20 degree weather in t-shirts and shorts then got pissed when the AMS Doc told them that our entire AD section was to no longer PT until furter notice. 80 percent of our section was sick.

So if I'll be enlisted for 2.5 years but a reservist before commissioning... do I or do I not achieve stallion status? I won't get the good conduct ribbon.... dammit. The bonus of that ribbon is that it cannot be attained by officers, and officers that attained it prior to becoming officers can wear it=auto stallion status. (takes three years)

jeepinbanditrider · 04-22-2008, 03:38 PM

I'm not real sure what "Stallion" status is. I'm not too familiar with the enlisted to officer programs.
