What is the running like.?

[JessicaDee1987]

@Dessy676 If you are a good runner then it will be easy otherwise, it can be difficult to adjust.

Uhm this may be a dumb question but during boot camp what did you do about your hair? Like eventually you had to wash it right. So with mine I usually flat iron it but when I wash it, it gets cruly and unmanageble. So during boot camp are braids aloud?

[JessicaDee1987]

@Ashyey Yes braids are allowed.

I really want to join the marines but I always wanted to do something that involves combat or infantry and being a female my dreams are sort of crushed :,(

[JessicaDee1987]

@TheAnnoyingPestz Well, now there is the Female Engagement Team (FET). But combat deployment is going down.

I'm a very driven person.Been thinking on it for over year now.As a reservist my bf advises against me joining. Don't know why?he can't put a finger on it.Should I head his advice since he's experienced it?Any advice is appreciated cause i'm confused.

[hollyblackmon88]

Since I went to my bf's Fam Day/graduation I wanted what he had in the Corps.I want the challenge of bootcamp and the sense of accomplishment that the Corps seems to offer.I would join as reservist.MOS supply.

@ROYALLTIY Wow! Congratulations on your new venture. It will be amazing and exhausting all at the same time. Tahnk you so much. I am so elated that you have enjoyed my videos and learned from them. It is important for females to help each other out. The food is healthy but good. Not 5 start quality but good. you will have plenty of fruits and vegetables and protein. Black women choose to wear braids, weaves or buns while at bootcamp. Hope this answers your questions. i will pray for you :)
