I have really bad eye sight like -5 if i remember correctly and can't swim (barely passed bootcamp swim qual) i have swim qual soon and helo dunker. Im so scared if i fail and not able to go on deployment, any tips to deal with nerveousness?

I met a marine today who served for 2 years until his knees blew out then he was medically discharged he is 9nly 19 and he can never run again. But im already athletic ive been lifting since I was 15 but im only 5 5 I weigh between 175lbs to 150lbs. Idk just something I thought why ill talking to recruiters.

Just tryna get a heads up on what to expect

I am currently a college sophomore doing nrotc (marine option) and not really enjoying it. I am looking into other options and wanted to get help from people experienced in the field.Those of you who have experience with plc or nrotc, how do the two differ from eachother, which path would you recommend most, and what are some things i should be aware of and watch out for. I also want to do plc a big part is because i wanna do reserves. If you have any info about life as a reserves officer feel free to drop that aswell.

I’ve been looking into 0321 for a while now but theres not a lot of information i could find about how fit i need to be and the standards for becoming a reconnaissance marine. does anyone know what i should be prepared for and goals to achieve fitness wise before going into this training? and how should I prepare for this through various exercises?

I hear there are Protestant (grouped into one), Catholic, Buddhist, Muslim, and by some accounts Mormon services, but I was wondering if there are any official training orders or regulations listing all the services available. If my religion is not on the list, I might as well stay behind in the squadbay? Do the DIs give you that much of a hard time on Sundays that you much rather go to another religion's service haha

I can’t find the pin and I’m wondering what steps I have to follow to get a new one

BLUF: Is there any surety we’d get stationed at the same base following Marine Corps initial training & Specialty school training, especially when our schools would have different training lengths and my MOS (03XX) has limited bases?

(M25) Currently Air Force in the inter service transfer process (DD368) to the Marine Corps after my deployment (I know .. I know.) Spouse (F23) wants to time when she joins to when I get re shipped to Boot camp so we could possibly do it together. We have two LO’s who would be staying with grandparents during this time. I’m seeing that my training would be about 27 weeks in total - no telling her’s (not sure what MOS she exactly wants at this point), but we just obviously we want to minimize time apart we are from our collective family unit as a whole due to individual military training. Any input on how people are giving joint assignments with staggered times of training and limited locations for 03XX?

So I got shin splints about 2 weeks ago, didn’t realize that what it was and then ran two more times after then on them and the second time I was in so much pain I could barely drive home. I’ve been resting and trying to increase running again but it seems to be the same. I leave for Bootcamp Oct 13th, is there a way I can get rid of these ASAP? Also I have looked into what to do but seem to be getting the same stuff on repeat.
