I'm going to be at Gordon for a while (19 weeks plus), I hate to hear it's so bad.

Meh, I was there 20 years ago, so it could've improved since then.
From my recollection PT was 5 days a week and started at 0430, and the actual PT field was covered with fire ant nests. The barracks were old, had no AC, and the rooms were 10 man bays. And your NCOs were DIs that had nothing better to do than mess with you - not much better than Basic Training.

25B is IT.

Typically the closer your barracks were to the Inprocessing Station and the Marine Barracks, the better you were treated, and by the sounds of your MOS you should be relatively close to these.

Anyways, congratulations (I think) and Good Luck!

Speaking of which, isn't Kid overdue to show up and call Korn a tool of oppression?

So if its not too personal a question, but why'd you join up? How old are you, mid twenties? Just wanted a new career path?

You'll be surprised how soon you'll be back. Last time I looked, Big Dork was moderating the MZO website from Iraq. The Worldwide Web is...well...world wide.

Keep in touch.

Good luck mate

[Verto]

Good luck

I've actually been considering Army or Navy, maybe change universities so I can get into an ROTC program.

Well I'm in Knoxville TN at a really nice hotel (the crown plaza I think), and I go back to MEPS tomorrow for a final physical then I'm off to Fort Benning. Just kinda playing the hurry up and wait game. Oh well I'm looking forward to it. I'll write when I can.

I'm 30, I'll be 31 in June. I wanted more college, but didn't really want to take out more loans for it. They offered me a set of really great incentives, and Im like lets do this, especially since I've always toyed with the idea for a long time. I've been going to National Guard drill (I'm doing the 36 month active first program) since January, and I've enjoyed it. That's motivated me. So I'm going to go and do my best and see what happens. Honestly it's made me feel more patriotic.

Never been to Gordon. I was at Fort Benning for Jump School and to mobilize to go to Kosovo.
