1. Its Parris Island
2. You don't just "join" the military. You either enlist or receive a commission. There's a difference.

It's it's.

At first I thought it was with two r's then auto correct happened and I second guessed myself lol
-
It's all good.
-
Got me there. I've gone to MEPS and all that fun stuff but I can't go until I finish senior year or high school
-
Yeah, that's how it goes man. I enlisted when I was 17. My parents had to sign off on it. Was in DEP for 8 months before I finally left.
-
I'm gonna be in the DEP for a little over 11 months
-
Use the time wisely. Better start running and working out if you're not already. Heads up, you're gonna drop serious weight in boot camp. I went in weighing 205, left at 176.
-
I started running about a week ago and got some shin splints but it's all good. I don't need to worry about my weight I'm at 150 right now
-
Shin splints are probably gonna be a common thing for you considering you'll be doing ruck sack runs and 3-5 mile PT morning runs in your combat boots.
-
Can't wait for those. Gotta get my legs used to running long distances and I'll eventually get used to it
-
It'll be fun. It will suck, but it will be fun.
-
I'll embrace the suck
-
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)?
-
If enlisting isn't considered joining, what would you call it?
-
I would call it enlisting. Because that's what it is.
-
Yeah, true. You're also [i]joining[/i] the ranks of the greatest modern war fighters in the world.
-
After boot camp and whatever follow on training your particular job has afterwards, and after your qualifications are complete. Then yes, you will join.
-
Editado por D Lemmiwinks P: 7/26/2017 4:55:49 PMTechnically once you sign at MEPS you're in. (Or joined, whatever) Also, once boot is complete you're a marine (soldier, airman, seaman). Complete with rank and pay. I'd say, the second you graduate boot you joined.
-
Technically you're right. But anyone who has been in would tell you, you're not a part of the family until you qualify and become a productive member and contribute.
-
I was in...
-
So was I.
-
Joining and being part of the family are different things. One is a signed piece of paper, the other is earning your place. I knew guys and gals that got kicked out after years for non-conformity. Were they still in? Yes Were they considered brothers/sisters? No
-
Couldn't agree more.
-
What did you do? If I may ask. I was a crew chief on 130s.
