Hey good luck. I've made the same trip before (Navy) and you'll be back driving before you know it. It's an odd feeling the first time you get back into a vehicle after several months, I will warn you that...

I remember doing the same 14 weeks on the west coast. Don't worry man, it is cake, just move fast and yell as loud as you can. Four weeks in MCRD San Diego, four weeks Camp Pendleton, then your last four weeks in MCRD San Diego again.... You will like the crucible, three days, three MRE's, and 70 miles. LOL By then you will be conditioned enough to go through it with no issues. My biggest problem was laughing, my bearing sucks man, just don't smile or anything. LOL

Good luck there Devil Dog and once you are done there you will have ten days of leave, then go back to Camp Pendleton for MCT or SOI, Marine Combat Training or School of Infantry. After you will go to your MOS school.

We'll be waiting to hear from you when you get back.

Semper Fidelis and Ductus Exemplo.

So are you going to be a Hollywood Marine? I understand Hollywood Marines are issued sunglasses and usually get well-suntanned from the California sun. This comes in good, I hear, for attending all the Hollywood parties where you get to meet all the young and upcoming actresses.

Good luck and I hope the training goes well for you.

I have a lot of respect for Marines as the training is as tough as it gets and thank you for your service to our country.

As long as you don't show up with condoms and porn you will be fine.... LMAO In 2004 a fellow Lance Corporal of mine sent a messed up letter to his friend, "who was already in boot camp at the time". The funny thing is, if your letter looks suspicious i.e. heavy or colorful, the drill instructors would make you open it in front of everyone and spill everything out, so this is what my roommate did to his friend.... and is no joke... I had nothing to do with this BTW...

He sprayed the letter with perfume and wrote outside of it "I hope the drill sergeants are as cute as you say they are, you lucky guy you"... LMFAO Then he put little rocks in the letter so it will be heavy and added condoms and gay porn. Hey none of this was my idea, but at the time I was laughing so hard I had a headache for hours....

Just imagine, a bunch of recruits and drill instructors around you are reading gay slang on the envelope and looking at condoms and cut up pictures of gay porn that fell on the floor after you turned the envelope upside down... Yeah, I am sure that guy had a ball in boot camp. ROFLMFAO :ftard:

Goochamus, you will be fine man and ENSURE you are the guide for the platoon, you will have a good chance at becoming honor grad, and you get free dress blues, I wish I did it when I look back. I just wanted to share a messed up story that really happened to some poor guy who got an evil letter from his buddy. hahaha Marines are a funny breed boy let me tell you...

If you guys have some funny boot camp stories I am sure Goochamus would be happy to read them here...

BTW Goochamus, what is your mailing address while you are in boot camp??? LOL j/k. :teeth:
