Marine Poolees Face Drill Instructor

During Family night for the Lincoln Recruiting Substation in Nebraska, U.S. Marine recruits face a drill instructor from MCRD in San Diego for the first time. Intense, yes, but only a taste of what they will face the 12 weeks during boot camp.

As my young men continue on I will occasionally post updates in my blog at
http://www.ndjmom.wordpress.com

Based on various comments I have changed the title to reflect poolees, not recruits, as they are not recruits UNTIL they get to boot camp. What do I know, I'm just a Mom of two Marines and I figured since the office is considered a "recruiting station" and that's what they called my boys, that's what they were.

i talked to my recruiter today he said im not in the delayed program yet he said i could go down and work out with them is it worth going even though im not in the program yet?

@kAsHMoN311 If they will let you work out with them then yes go, there are recruits, then there are poolies, ones waiting to ship. My son went to PT at the RSS months before he was actually a poolie. Good luck to you

@kAsHMoN311 YES! Go and work out with the other recruits it will make your life a whole lot easier once you get to MCRD or Parris Island. You don't want to be some smuck struggling on the pull up bar or can't do push ups, the abuse will only increase.
