SITREP THREAD. Post your Progress Here.

Head down the road to Parris Island for Boot Camp in less than 5 days, excited and ready to go finally! It's been about a years plus wait. Fully confident in myself, and thanks to everyone's guidance here as well. Hopefully if I stay locked on I'll be trolling tis forum in about 13 weeks. Thanks again, see ya'll soon!

Walra, good luck! Come back a Marine. Piece of cake. My MEPS was out of Syracuse. Left Ithaca to go MCRD, PI, Plt 1060, 1985. Do the best in everything and look out for your fellow recruits.

Finished week 5(finally). We knocked out our 12 miler this morning and then just turned in weapons and got a few classes covering the next few weeks. I also was appointed class leader by the cadre so I've been doing that this week as well.

Did you graduate?
 
Keep your head straight, Tropicana98. Don't be one of those dudes that gets to within a week or a couple days of graduation and decides to go out and party and then ends up being a story for the next few years of classes.

Walra, you've been on the board long enough to get all the necessary advice and prep you'll need. Here is something (consider it a gift) that perhaps no one else has offered you though. If things still work the same as they did, the weekend before graduation you are given the opportunity to visit with parents/friends in uniform. Without fail, mom and dad can't wait to take their new (almost) Marine for a burger/fries/coke and put some meat on his bones.

Without fail, your drill instructor will "bend and thrust" someone until they puke it up...and someone WILL puke it up. Also, tell the family and friends...no post cards, no food, nothing through the mail that singles you out. Follow this advice and I will await a couple good stories of "glad I listened to you" when you get back.

Semper Fi

Turned blue today and graduate tomorrow. As of now I'm still looking at 1-2 weeks of airborne hold. Apparently holiday block leave caused some backup. Looking forward to my 3 days off before heading back to Benning.

Stop holding your breath and you'll be fine.:p

Seriously, congratulations. Do extra PT, it'll pay off.
 
Finished up week 6 today. Did a lot of shooting, ran our final 5 miler yesterday and had a 6 mile ruck run for PT today. Final PT(last critical event) is Monday. We also lost 4 more dudes today. 2 of them to injury and were dropped, the other 2 quit...yes, they quit. 81 out of an original 136 remain.
