Some of you have known this for a long time, some of you might not know, but I am leaving for boot camp on the 30th. Now, I'll be actually leaving for
MEPS on the 29th, and though I'll most likely get a chance to check in with you guys again I've been fairly busy as of late, so here it goes.
I've never been good at introductions or goodbyes so I'll just tell you where I'll be and what I'll be doing for the next year or so...
For the first 13 weeks I will be in Marine Corps boot camp. Yes, that's the one that the politicians haven't managed to ruin yet. I think you all know what that entails so no links required, but it will be taking place at
MCRD San Diego.
The next step will the the
Marine Corps School of Infantry which lasts 52 days.
After this the path becomes a bit sketchy, I am in what is called the UZ program, meaning I am guaranteed a shot at Reconnaissance so long as I meet the requirements. At this point I will either go
Force Recon or be assigned to a
Marine Recon Battalion. To explain the difference in short, Force Recon is roughly analogous to the Navy SEALs while Battalion level is closer to that of the Army Rangers.
To make a long story short, I'll drop by in 3 months on my one week leave... after that, we'll see.
