    Today, i went and spoke with a Marine Recruiter. It was amazing, interested me so much, so i enlisted. My ship out date will be around july or august of next year, after graduation. Today marks the start of a journey i didn’t originally plan on doing, but thats how life goes. Can’t wait to see what this route has for me :oldglory:

    Not the first time I have heard that. Y'all do earn it.
    Most of my Marine buddies were, Radio Bn and Radio Recon. Love working with them!

    Congratulations and Best of Luck.
    I was going to join The Marines, I wanted to fly helicopters but I had to sign a 7 year contract, then the Police called me and I went there.
    Wish that I signed up first.
    Pick a good MOS, it could be your future.
