[Connary]

Just curious how many of you are stationed/live near or on Camp Pendleton?

[Parker 1st MRB]

S. Myers - U.S. Navy (Ret.)

W. Myers - U.S. Army

A. Spear - U.S. Navy

M. McCarthy - U.S. National Guard

M. McDowell - U.S. Marines :: Camp Pendleton

C. McKenzie - U.S. Marines :: Camp Pendleton

R. Burk - U.S. Marines

B. Womble - U.S. Marines (Ret.)

And there are a few others who will be serving in the U.S. Military soon.

[McKenzie 1st MRB]

Connary I believe the only two MRB members who actually live on Camp Pendleton are myself and Cpl. McDowell.

[Connary]

Wow that is a good amount of people in the area. For the Army guys where do you go to drill? I live in Fallbrook, and go up to March AFB to drill myself for the Air Force. I think army has a center up there as well outside the base.

[Wilhelm]

Shit, all of you guys are in the military eh? That's pretty rad. My art skills make me too much of a pussy to join.

[Tragedy]

lol dunno why but that was really funny

Hell you would fit right in... lots of painting in the military, buildings, walls, shop murals...... rocks then flip them over and paint the other side... heaven for an artist.

[Spear 1st MRB]

S. Myers and I live in San Diego

[Marsden 1st MRB]

im ten hours away lol, will be there once MEPS pulls there heads out of their ass'.

[McKenzie 1st MRB]

Haha ah ah ah. Marsden you're going to MCRD San Diego first mah man! Have fun! lol.

[Wilhelm]

Lol sadly this is true, also when going through Recruit Training, you could also be the Artist Recruit and create something bad ass for your Drill Instructors

Hmmmm ... excellent point

btw, im awesome at painting rocks .... yeaaaaaaaaa

[W. Myers]

Right now I'm in Georgia, but within the month I'm being stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I got lucky and got the dream station right out of AIT. Speaking of painting, they had us repaint the curb outside our building brown, then decided they liked the original color more and we had to paint it back.

[Ford 1st MRB]

Where at in Georgia?

[Marsden 1st MRB]

lol McKenzie I was supposed to have been there at the beggining of this year, scored a 92 on the ASVAB and passed all the fuckin checks at meps, but the CO in Seattle didn't like the look of my long haired with piercing scar on my eyebrow ass and told them to red flag my file and asked for all kinds of bull shit paper work i didnt have, so now i'm going to try for the reserves and then once i graduate and get my BA i'll go regular and so ya. if you have any strings please pull them lol

[McKenzie 1st MRB]

Haha I'm just a lowly Lance Corporal my man. I don't get any string pulling ability til I hit at LEAST Corporal, more likely Sergeant. Even then its local. But technically you could raise the BS flag on that CO and claim discrimination based on appearance.

[Connary]

I say join the Air Force.. and forget Marines. Air force will treat you good.

[Marsden 1st MRB]

I know the Chair Force will treat me good in their 4-star field accommodations, but that's not what im looking for lol. I'm not necessarily belittling the support that they lend our ground forces, it just doesn't really appeal to me to be a mechanic or to have to stay in school for another 4-7 years so i can fly u know?

besides My Ass Rides In Nave Equipment Sir.

And McKenzie i wish i knew that back in December when i got the third or fourth bullshit request through my recruiter from MEPS. And on top of that im no longer in the same MEPS district, i would have to go through the Frisco office this time, but thanks for the suggestion. would that still work for me anyhow?

If they keep fucking with you, raise a shitstorm. If your ready willing and physically able, they technically should not be able to turn you down, provided ya know, your not a serial rapist. or something.

[Le 1st MRB]

i'm gonna do AFROTC once i get to college. Best way to fly.

[McKenzie 1st MRB]

Yeah, especially since only officers get to fly...

[Le 1st MRB]

now what about special forces? is that open to officers?

[McKenzie 1st MRB]

I believe so, but I don't think they do much sneak and peek operating. I think they are more behind the lines with like intel and all that. Like officers can get into Spec Op units, but as support.

[Marsden 1st MRB]

lol gotcha. well now i'm going to get my BS in Game Art and Design so I'll go into the corps maybe as an officer, havent decided yet

[McKenzie 1st MRB]

Must be nice to get to go to college lol jk jk. Nah, I am working on getting my AD in General Studies then my Bachelors in Information Technology and Security or something like that. I might go into one of the Federal Law Enforcement Agencies, do some anti cyber terrorism shit.
