Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below i'm talking to a recruiter. some of you have emailed me and helped me with my situation earlier, but i looked at it and i just couldn't afford shit without going active. i think i'll just keep my college focus and try to knock some of my schooling out while i'm in. so marines, what's your average day like.

Fuck me!
And here's me all pissed off cause my girl turns up on my door after a night drinking w/ friends. Drunk as a skunk at 2am.
Totally pissed off cause I only got 3 hours sleep and this has fucked up my day of hard n' heavy training.
But bro, after reading your average day, I feel better already.
I feel you dog.

One word to remember --- Airwing---
One MOS to ask for ATC
AS for me typical non PT day 0715 at work in coveralls
0730 bullshit for 15 min
0800 invertory tools
0815 check work load
0830 drink a protien
0845 start work
anytime take a break
1100-1230 lunch
1230- come back to work
1245 act like your working
1300 start working
1430 start wrapping things up
1445 start clean up
1530 stand around till someones says leave
1600 done
On pt days 0600 at the gym till 0700
be at work by 0800 Yes I get paid to workout.
It gets even better once amonth you'll get 3 or 4 day weekend for laborday, thanksgiving, all holidays. Not to bad its about one long weekend per month all year long. Not to include 30 days of leave. If taken smartly (monday-friday) then thats like another 4 weeks of no work.
Just remember Airwing and ATC. I'm not ATC only because no one told me how great it is. They get fast promotions and big $$$ bonus to stay in. every time they re-up for three times. I know a guy who every four years bought a new car with his bonus.

bout the same here ryker, marine corps has it's bullshit, but damn do i love the wing. after talking to some ground siders i'm greatful that i went into the wing. and yea, you can get some college done. they pay for most. but if schooling is your main goal, get a job where youll have time for it, like the wing. good luck.

non - pt day
0600 - pt students for 1 hour and then hit the gym
0800 - go to work bullshit for at least 20 mins
0830 - teach students for 50 min then take a 20 min break. continue this pattern till chow
1100 - chow till 1300 (1pm)
1100 -1300 - go to college
1300 - back to work, bullshit for 20mins

...airwing is the way to go, Decem puts up with all that bullshit and i get paid the same ammount he does, but it also depends on why you join. My job is cake though
