4 dislikes are from Air Force. ;-) Semper Fi and congrats! Go hard or go home! 0311 or nothing!

[bigbfoot1]

Any tips for ITB??

[mengotto]

@bigbfoot1 Avoid Mt. Mother F***er via wisdom tooth extraction. Other than that, the rest is golden. ITB (we called it SOI) was fun.

[MrDuobros]

is SOI like boot where you are there all the time or is it somewhat more free. For example are people allowed to have phones while there and get leave every now and then?

[VoodooGypsy]

@MrDuobros It is different for each training company. Supposedly my company, Delta, was the most unlike boot camp. But even then we got fucked up quite a bit. And no phones, smoking, dip allowed during the training week unless authorized. You get every weekend off. We usually got released at 1600 on Friday and secured at 1800 on Sunday. Basically make sure you and your fellow Marines don't fuck up. You do what your told you should be fine. You'll have fun though. LA and SD is fun on the weekends

[MrDuobros]

@VoodooGypsy the reason i know what boot is like cause i made it to TD 50 before i got dropped for medical but im allowed to start over with a clean slate... i was just curious about the use of phones and stuff like that. appreciate the help man, ill be wearing the same uniform one day

[gearheadd318]

I guess it's common for people to lie to their parents about doing infantry? That's what I'm gonna do, if I can get infantry.

[TheRcamero1]

Yea bunch of fuckin boots

[j187killa]

I doesnt even matter if you do that shit right, the fucking boxes are never where they should be. SOI is a fucking joke and a waste of time lol.

[bigcountry1315]

Semper Fi brother! I went through SOI in 1985.Stay safe.

[adrianJ05]

at soi did you get to pick 0352 or did they just assign it to you

[alexbelwwe]

Hey, I wanna be a Marine when I'm 18, do you like 0352? Because I was thinking 1371(Combat Engineer) now I'm stuck on 1371 or 0352.

[Zer03hree]

@alexbelwwe ..Oh hell yeah, I love being a 0352. Always gonna be attached to a Weapons Company which means you get crossed trained as a 0331 Machine Gunner. Also 52's have one of the lowest cutting score to pick up rank in the Infantry. We get to also do both mounted and dismounted patrols. But if you had the option between the two mos, I would rather be an 03 anyday. You will see why once you join...

[cowkeeper36]

@Zer03hree smart man... but I, and every marine EVER hates you for being an 0352.

Tho everyone hated me for being a Mortarman.

[Ihateopp]

@alexbelwwe You don't get to pick your exact MOS, just your field. When you're at SOI you can pick your top choices of MOS and hope you get what you want. Anything in the infantry or 03 is fuckin awesome.

[Ihateopp]

@alexbelwwe You can't choose you MOS in the Marine Corps. Only the field.
