Don't forget: every Marine is a rifleman. Are you prepared to get down and dirty and qual on an M-16? Do you have the mental and physical toughness to be a Marine?

Not trying to discourage you, but TI had mentioned some of the counseling he's given you, and I want to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.

You're going to hurt no matter how strong you are. Yeah AJ is right "Every Marines a Rifleman" Not matter what your MOS or rank is you're going to get down and dirty. Now if you want easy join the air for.........nevermind. J/K But seriously the DIs are going to break you and you dont go to basic to have fun.


Every marine recruit goes through this, even if you go in as a officer:
