Once you get BAQ life gets better. But, in the Marines I believe it's part of the jarhead subculture to thrive on misery. -- 95 Formula 1 of 7,448  "Life is too short to drive a slow car."

I was on an older base though. Single tech school style room with a shared bathroom between 2 rooms. You're right... this isn't the time to mess up in the Air Force right now, they're doing another "force shaping" and kicking out around 3700 people over the next couple years. -- 95 Formula 1 of 7,448

"Life is too short to drive a slow car." Posted By: mystic95cam On: 11-21-2009 @ 20:57:39 Reply | Top | Edit "creatrue comforts" is bull crap. If you were a civilian, or if you lived out in town you'd have to buy all that stuff anyway. "food" is also bull crap. If you have a meal card, you're garaunteed regular meals at the chow hall. COMRATS isn't enough to eat out every night on, so you'd have to go get food and cook it yourself anyway. Also, if you're an idiot and run out of money on COMRATS, no more food for you. Your meal card never runs out. Also, your chow hall on Lejeune is way better than ours. Yeah, field days in the barracks suck, but as long as you keep your stuff clean, your rack made, and your wall lockers secured, it's not so bad. When I lived in the barracks, we'd spend maybe an hour cleaning the room on field day, and I had all kinds of car parts and other crap in there. P.S. When you pick up Corporal, you're still gonna get treated like crap, only then you'll also be held responsible as an NCO for all the Pvts/PFCs/Lcpls, even the ones you've never even met. If one of them screws up, it's your fault. I go to brief after brief where our SgtMaj tells us how we're screwed up because Lcpl Shmuckateli from some shop I've never heard of got a DUI over the weekend. In conclusion, yeah, it sucks sometimes, but overall, I'm glad I joined. In the long run, you probably will be too. -- Steven, 96 Z28 M6, intake, headers, exhaust, 4.10 gears, LCA reloc. brackets, HBHRacing fan switch  Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 11-22-2009 @ 12:05:54 Reply | Top | Edit Shmuckateli, gotta love that.

Did somebody say you're stationed at Lejeune? I have a buddy who's a 2LT Combat Engineer down there. I think he gets shipped out in January. -- 96 Chevy S-10 4.3 LITERS OF FURY!!!
