He'd be the goose who was asking about 97E earlier this year, never served a day anywhere, let alone a day in the Corps.

Marines usually leave the Marine Corps a little f*cked up in the head....but you didn't hear it from me.
How about a cup of STFU coffee............. Serj, I am going to pass on this, thinking to myself it is thursday and he is on his second 1/2 rack of beer.
Don't post while intoxicated......
It was a joke, not to be taken seriously. I appreciate the service of all our service members. I apologize to our Marines if it has offended you. It was a stupid, failed joke.
Please, Marines, don't make a version of this directed torwards me saying " Halp us Power Serj, we're fooked up in tha head." Like this:
Yes I was asking about 35M (previously 97E) and did already sign up for it in the Army Reserve and will be leaving for BCT in September, and will be reporting to Ft. Hauchuca afterwards for AIT. I'm going to inprocessing on Thursday and will be attending drill on June 7th. I can't wait.

Looking for exercises...
So, I recently just got done with MEPS processing and swore in.
I have about a month before I'm off to Benning and I'm concerned.
Maybe it was the lack of sleep coupled with mental / physical exhaustion but I nearly bombed on the duck walk.
I was wondering if anyone has any exercise that will help strengthen my muscles around the knees. I was thinking of just hitting the squats machine at my gym but I dunno.
To be honest, any good conditioning or OSUT pre-training suggestions anyone has would be of great help. Last thing I want to do is get the platoon punished for my lack of endurance / physical performance. I really want to ace the PT test before shipping.
Thanks in advance!
Nobody aces their first PT test. In fact, they set you up for failure on it.
Don't worry too much about being a PT stud right out of the gate. You'll have plenty of time to become one while you're there, and you don't wanna risk injury before you go.
You don't wanna be a PT stud the first time, leave room for improvement. Also don't worry so much about PTing before you go, you've got a month, just enjoy yourself.
just run, crunches, push ups, pull ups. all u really need
what do you guys think is a MOS that will give me the most civi job expearance in the USMC? I have been thinking and I dont want to go in and hate it, because I would just have 4 years of infantry(what I was planning on doing) and that does nothing for me in the civi world. But If I go in and hate it at least I would have some hands on work for a job on the outside.
What interests you in the civie world? IT? Mechanic? Driver? Pretty much anything in the civie world has a similar MOS.
id have to say computers, thats pretty much it.
Look at the 26 series:

Here is another list, I am not sure how current/complete either link is.

I know someone who's going in the Corps to do something with computers (not sure exactly what though). Talk to your recruiter, if you don't have one, I recommend you get one.
I was lucky enough to have a good recruiter, because I know some real douche bag ones. Don't let your recruiter push you into something just for the sake of getting those papers signed either.
Last Minute Tips for Marine Corps OCS???
Well that time which has had me alternating between piss my pants excited and sh*t my pants nervous for months draws near. Over the past few months several members of the MP.net community have given me great advice on what to expect and what to prepare for at Marine Corps Officer Candidate School. I was wondering if anybody had any last minute advice for myself and/or any others heading to Quantico in the next few days to begin training.
Also, thank you to all the members of the community who have helped me/us get ready for this challenge. I know at least one good friend of mine who left last Saturday for OCS who stumbled upon my old post about Bates Lites and the advice that was given there, and I know he is thankful for your posts, and I'm sure there are others reading who are getting ready to ship out soon to Quantico. Thanks again and any advice is appreciated.
I was enlisted. I wish you the very best.
