Plz be nice and have a good time! We had a drag who made fun of all the upperclassmen the entire time, even got into arguments w people. Not a great impression

In my personal opinion, IDAY will be the best and worst day out of the summer. On one hand, you're so confused and scared that everything sucks. You literally have no idea what is going on (Napsters and priors will have bypassed this,) and its such a harsh adjustment. On the other hand, its so...

A new thing they started this past summer was "active recovery time." It'll be almost every night right before bed, and you'll have around 15 minutes that everyone is required to stretch in the hallway. We were actually issued foam rollers too, and you'll use them sometimes during PEP. You'll...

Also keep in mind that Marine Ground has an extensive amount of jobs, and that they aren't referring to just the infantry or artillery type MOS.

Inhaler for the flu or for something else?

Haha, I remember my roommate being SIQ and having to open a care package in the doorway in front of a detailer. The box had like 10 bottles of vitamins. The detailer laughed and went "yeah seems like you could use those"

If its an actual injury that would prevent you from doing plebe summer, (something broken, torn, strained, sprained, out of socket, etc,) then yes. They want to make sure everyone that shows up can get through the first week or so without problem. If you go and the doc says its no big deal, then...

Got asked to give a first salute to one of my old detailers/firsties, we are pretty close. Was thinking of giving a super small gift as an end of the year gratitude thing. Any thoughts? Going subs.

gotta remember your roots

Had a highschool friend who went to Culver, he loved it (actually did a 5th year.) Can't give much specifics but he was always happy and boasted about the school a lot

I can offer a little more "behind the scenes" too: As a plebe, morning workouts are required for most and start at 0530, so you'll get up at around 0515 ish, 3-5x a week (depends on company/batt) Company training time from 1240-1320 is kinda sporadic, you may not have it some days, but when...

okay gotcha, my firstie said to put the 15,000 and then watched us all get immediately denied lmao

Yeah makes sense, I'm just confused as to how virtually every mid has an AMEX PLAT in that case

As income or asset
