    leaving for boot camp in 1 week

    I'm super nervous. Not for boot but because my wife is pregnant. It scares me going away for this time.

    Awe just remember why your going to begin with, IM sure they will get you to her when she is in Labor or close to. Good luck with boot camp and being new dad ! Being parent is the greatest feeling in the world ! Nothing compares=)

    Boot camp I not so bad and like the other guy said they will give you leave for family emergency. I was at boot in Parris Island when my little boy turned one they let me get a 4 day leave. Don't be nervous just be happy it will be fine man.

    Your wife is pregnant so apparently you have. And remember one of your chants in there will be just that. "This is my rifle this is my gun this for fighting this is for fun"

    Good luck to you, all will be fine at home. Take comfort in the fact that she is in a family way..lots of guys in boot will have a lot more to worry about leaving their girls back home LOL. Agree with what was said, volunteer for nothing, keep a low profile. Also keep in mind boots all a test, and only temporary. Its not the way life will be like in the service once you are out of boot, lots of guys forget about this and a few wks are picturing the rest of their time in the service being like boot.

    yea they are making enlistment super hard...even just for the guard, Tigers been at this for weeks now...they even want his med records stating about his tonsil removal....? how does that matter? lol


    you may be better off not going marine.. my brothers only 31 and his knees are cr@p plus he was a sniper/sharp shooter (whatever they call it) and almost lost an eye from shrapnel...he group (whatever they are called) all died from the incident we were very worried for him.

    hahahahahha, when I went to BCT they said "Privates" " Only 2 things come from (your state) and I dont see no horns on your head, you know the rest" This is as far as my DS's took it.

    MEPS's job is to DQ an applicant, so they want all of his medical history if he has ever had surgerys, been to the ER etc; Remember MEPS is their to DQ your husband, not pass his physical.

    Dont be that guy on Suicide watch 24 hours a day because you believed the DS when he told you you will find your GF or wife the same way you left her, Freshly Fvcked. Seriously the fastest way to leave BCT and AIT is to graduate. If you decide its not for you half way through, you will be put into a holding company until you can adapt and eventually recycled. Look DS's job is to break you down and train you the Army way.

    Listen to them, do whats asked of you, keep a high head, dont try to be GI Joe, Be you, Dont speak unless spoken to, The worst 2 weeks are red phase which are the first 2 weeks. After Red Phase you will move into White phase which is BRM and a ton of fun. Blue phase is is a culmination of all your training, which will include a 10-17 day FTX.

    Whatever you do DONT QUIT.

    thanks man. My wife is really very sweet. She wouldn't cheat. I'm going in with the mindset that its a game., just gotta win. And i'm thinking about getting huge and ripped again haha when I get on base. I'm like 190 now and more than 10% bf. By the end of my first contract I want to be back to 210 and 5% and by the end of my second 230. That's a large part of my drive now to. Thanks for your support

    Ohhh never never say that. Believe it but dont say it. You are just jinxing yourself. Dont drive yourself crazy thinking about it either and take things day by day. Stay in touch and if the worse happens be glad it was sooner than later.

    110% correct. For example I had a fiance while I was deployed to Iraq, came home to see she was 3 months pregnant. I always said "no my fianne would never do that" shore as the sky is blue she was flat backing it the whole time I was deployed.
