Good evening, is there any of yall lat moved to 7051, if so how was it?

I'm a college student looking into the marines (PLC) and navy (NUPOC).

First, do you have to be off all your meds for 2 years before PLC, even though you won't commission until after you graduate college? Or is it 2 years off meds BY the time you graduate?

Second, I can only do 10 pushups at a time, 1 chin-up, no pullups. My planks are maximum 1 min 10 seconds. Any recommendations? I've been working out 3x a week for the past couple of weeks.

i’m wanting to go into aircraft maintenance however i understand job availability is a big factor and was interested in see what other jobs are available to me with the scores i got

I got off the phone with a recruiter for the marine officer program. I told them I’m currently a sophomore in college interested in pursuing becoming a JAG. However, when I told them I was on ADHD medications they told me that in order for me to even begin the process I’d need to be off the medications for 3 years and have my doctor undiagnose me, and that there was no chance of a waiver. Is this true? If so, would it be easier if I were to just enlist first and get a waiver through that process, then finish my degree and attempt OCS?

Hello, I am being activated in January and I just sent my landlord orders and gave her notice that I am breaking my lease. Since 30 days from now is January 3rd, and my rent is due January 1st, am I on the hook for all of January as well?

I know you enlist as a group MOSS for arty but I was wondering if anyone had any insights on the chances of getting 0861? For reference i ship in January but with calculations I am at a first class PFT , 20/20 vision, and I have a 125 GT

I am almost 2 years away from enlisting in either the I.D.F or USMC, and would like to know. Is it better if I start out enlisted or do OCS outta college. And while civil Air Patrol experience of 2 years make it better as I do get benefits to be e-3 outta boot camp in the USAF and Coast guard, does this work in the USMC?

Good evening brothers and sisters. Wondering if anyone here has gotten out with an other than honorable discharge. I was in a little over a year and fucked up one night. I completely panic now whenever I run in to an old vet or any talk about military for that matter because I always get the “how long were you in for” question. And then I feel degraded and like a failure. It’s been 10 years and I still have a hard time dealing with it. Can’t get an ID, don’t have any benefits, in-laws asking why I don’t get anything.. if anybody has some insight or ways they deal with it I’m all ears! Semper Fi!

I’m going to the school house this Friday from MCT I’m wondering how long the school house is? I’ve been told 2 weeks and 5 weeks does anyone know?

So I signed a contract not too long ago for combat support. I don’t really care about anything rn but graduating boot camp and earning the title, so I’m not really concerned about what I get because I like all the jobs that come with it. With all that said does anyone know when they tell you what mos you got when your job field is combat support?

So my ex put a restraining order on me for cheating on me right didn’t want me to find out who she was with I know dumb. I never got arrested this was back in 2013 had to go to court got a temporary restraining order was never charged. I’m clear now have been for a while my concern is I want to and am in process of joining the Marine corp but when I look on the portal on that case it says OPEN still even though it’s done with and expired will that mess me up I have paperwork saying I’m good restraining order expired anyone please help

Is OC Spray and Taser eventually a must while in the fleet as a 0321 (recon)?

I’m going to camp Lejeune for my MOS school for 3051 and I’m wondering if anyone knows how the holiday leave is looking like? I’m heading over there this Friday after MCT.

I just arrived to LA and am wondering what it’s gonna be like as soon as I arrive at 29 palms tonight and the day after, is it immediately gonna kick into my schooling or some formation?

Hi so I’m thinking about joining the usmc and I’m supposed to go into Meps next week but I’m having second thoughts about joining, idk if I really want to do this? Or if it’s just fear of the unknown? For what I want out of life the marines would give that to me but yet I’m so scared about joining? Can anyone help? Thanks!

I went to a recruiter on 11/20/24 and it went well and he made me do an act or asvab I forgot but i scored a 22. I was also 230 at 5’8 and he wanted me to drop 10lbs and score better and go back on 12/3/24

Just came back from the recruiting office and I scored a 59 and weigh 223lbs. Honestly I’ve never been proud of myself since I graduated highschool in 2020. I call it a milestone bc other than me reaching my gym goals this year, this is my biggest accomplishment yet. And I’m not done

Looking to drop close to 200lbs around January and February. Im gonna keep studying to get my score even higher. Never wanted something more in my life than to become a marine.

Don’t plan on signing any contract or leaving till around February/ March so I’m glad I’m getting everything situated now and just getting my myself and my love ones prepared for me to leave and to make something for myself for years to come.

Thanks for reading!

I am shipping out on the 17th, to PI. Did they really change the Bootcamp photo to a Photoshopped version? Sounds like it was very VERY recently implemented.

I got orders to MACS-2 MACG-28 2D MAW BEAUFORT SC as a 2111 what can you tell me about it

I can do 3 straight push ups and are push ups very important in bootcamp?? And I’m going to start hitting the gym what exercises u guys recommend for me to start doing to work with pull ups ??

i’m trying to find a answer on this because I can’t find much, but my boyfriend left for MCT yesterday and I’m just curious if you going to have his phone? I know some people said it depends on company, and a lot of people I’ve talked to have said that they’ve had it most of the time at MCTexcept for like two days towards the end. He’s only going for 20 days because they close on Christmas. So everything is kind of rushed. But he is in golf company.

Just had a random thought, nothing important. I fuckin hate the feeling of hair getting stuck in the collar of my shirt and feeling itchy ASF after a haircut. Just curious if you get to shower sometime the same day after they buzz your head, or if they're going to make us wait until the next day just because they can.

Thanks in advance

I have to do some shopping for ITB before I leave next week and my parents want to come with me (Quantico) when I go to the MCX. Will they be allowed on base/in the MCX?

I’ve heard that the travel reimbursement for the reserves is inadequate to cover the actual costs of traveling to drill so it ends up coming out of pocket. Is this true?

I want to know if there's like an online calculator for it all for like MM and such.

My scores were:

AFQT- 83

GS- 67 \ AR- 61 \ WK- 65 \ PC- 61 \ MK- 56 \ EI- 71 \ AS- 69 \ MC- 61

Prior AD service, looking to go reserves. Located in NJ. Does anybody have a real prior service recruiting number to call for this area? Every number I’ve found online leads me no where.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

My first IST as a poolee is on the 14th. Are there any strategies anyone can recommend for the pushups? I'm not incapable of doing them, but I can't rapid fire perfect form for two minutes straight.

So back in August I (17 y/o male) went to the MEPS Station in my Area (Portland, OR) and have since got set up and am at the point of choosing my MOS Field, I was talking with my recruiter and he talked up the Cyber and Crypto Programs as I had a decent DLAB Score (71-73ish) but I really wanted to go for COMMSTRAT (45xx Field) due to him he advising to choose something that I enjoy rather than something with rigor just because I scored well.... Is it in my best interest to go for something I'm passionate about rather than what my scores go for and try to laterally move later in my career?

Is it possible?

Edit: (18F) I’m joining the Air Force because i’ll actually have time to get my degree done while in the military because the work life balance is way better. Along with I just simply wanna leave my hometown. I’m done waiting for my life to start. My ASVAB is really high(I got an 82). I am also currently a college Freshman(Criminal Justice Major) 3.8 GPA. My Dad was an enlisted Marine and told me that if I wanna be in the Marine I should go Officer. He told me that I should just be an Airmen period😂. But He did give me his gold EGA off his cover because he doesn’t want me to give up on it. I’m his little girl so he wants me to not have a crappy life but he also wants me to follow my heart. I want to be a Marine and I want to lead Marines. I know it’s takes a lot to be an Officer. I don’t know if a traditional commission or going the WO route would be better. I’m also open to any advice about which branch is best for commissioning. Also plausibility of commissioning once I did my 1st or 2nd term in the AF.

Hi yall I'm enlisting next year (infantry) into the reserves in the meantime I'm going to college could I get deployed while going to school?

I am in the delayed entry program, I swore my oath and signed my contract on 19 November.

I've realized that signing a contract with no MOS was stupid. I dont want to be stuck with sh*t detail, so I wanna make sure that I'm at least signing up for something of my own choosing, even if I end up regretting it.

I scored 81 on the ASVAB, but I have the composite scores for a 79 I scored.

MM: 118, GT: 115, EL: 122, CL: 128.

I've been interested in Rifleman, Machine Gunner, JTAC or some other form of combat arms. Any advice on how/if I can turn this around
