    Re: Boot-Camp

    Now let's think about this logically.

    You leave High School, attend Boot Camp, and then what? You attend your Senior Year of High School as an Active Duty Marine. Does that make sense?

    Seriously. I'm not trying to be an ass, but in this case it's just too easy.

    1st you don't rate the Maggot level of Recruit, so loose the Rct.

    2nd As was said, no there is only a program like that for Officers during their later college years.

     

    The best you get is being a Poolie until you finish High School.  Go join your fellow Poolies from your RSS and start prepping. (i.e PT & Studying)

    Yeti-Man, Northridge is confused with the US Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard.  They allow High Schoolers to got to Basic Training between their Jr and Sr years, during their Senior year they have something like "Drill Weekend" with the Reserves or Nat'l Guard, when they graduate HS, they go on to MOS TRNG and on to their respective Units.

    Sorry Junior, only the Army has a program like you discribe for the Enlisted.

    You have to BE A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE to join the CORPS.  This one made my head hurt and I already have the flu.

    On top of it all, learn to freaking spell, what is a "u" and a "sig" also could you add an "s" onto your "thank" so that it is grammatically correct, and also when you talk about yourself, the i is CAPITALIZED and the word everything is spelled wrong. 

    Miller, Yeti and Tom I thought you guys would have caught this stuff, are y'all getting old on me?
