there's so much missinformation out there.... i can tell by some of the posts. been there done that
it's not as great as the recruiter tells you but not as bad as rea and some people on here make it seem. would i lie to you? run before you leave though really do run..... no seriously, run all the time.
you get 20 mins from line to formation to eat. but girls get low carb, low sugar meal packs, us guys got sugar , carb and protein loaded meals.... food isn't too bad for the males. get your friends and families addreses before you leave, ask them to send you 1-2 sheets from magazines or newspaper in their letters, they can send you stuff like razors , maybe femenine items i wouldn't know.... but you will SMELL BAD for 3 straight months i guarantee that, don't try to stand out , in a good way or a bad way... do what you're told it's easy don't get an attitude.... and 3 months will seem like 3 years if you don't make friends..... and write letters and get letters , leave on good terms with your parents , you'll regret doing and not doing soooo many things, it is really up to you in the end to make a change in your life don't use the marine core as a crutch it won't work out too good. what's ur m.o.s. ? oh and run a lot before you leave .... i know i said it but it's worth repeating.....run bitch, run!
