who the hell uses the spell check?

I wasnt hard on him, I just told him the truth. The guy already had his mind made up about joining, I just wanted to help him out. He will hate life when some dipshit who is in charge of him has him doing the most retarded ---- ever. Like field daying his room until 2am or some dumb ---- like that. Wait until he sits in a power point by death safety stand down for 2 days straight. He has it coming to him ;)

Good thread, can't believe I missed this one. I'm considering going back in at the end of the summer, depending of course on how much ---- changes between now and then.

ok after reading a bit more of this threat let me put in a few more cents... what a recon contract will get you is a guarantee of being able to take the recon indoc during your time at ITB (infantry training battalion) SOI is school of infantry and also incorporates MCT (marine combat training) which every marine other then infantry goes through before their MOS school. if you get a UH contract which is just basic infantry you will still get a chance to take the recon indoc. if you decide to take the recon contract or even participate in the recon indoc under a basic UH contract and you can't pass it then the only thing that will happen is they don't allow you to attend the recon schooling after completing ITB.. you will still be marine corps infantry and you will be assigned to a standard infantry battalion. the one disadvantage to doing the recon indoc is that you will be forced to be an 0311 (basic rifleman) the other options you have at ITB if you choose not to take the recon indoc there are 0331 (machine gunner) 0341 (morter man) 0351 (assaultman--> demolition, explosive and manual breaching and the SMAW which is a light amour rocket launcher) and 0352 (antiarmour man --> guided antiarmour missile launchers)

hopefully that wasn't too confusing.. if it was let me know and ill try to explain better

and unless its changed the recon indoc is a 1st class PFT in boots and uts, 500m swim in cammies and 30 min treading water in cammmies
