"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Marine Corps: How to prepare

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Just run a lot and do a lot of push-ups/pull-ups.

There's really nothing you can do to prepare for it except to be in decent shape.
And even if you're not, you can still make it.

When I went into the Marines, the best advice I heard about the island was "Don't do anything to stand out. Just do what you have to do and fly under the radar."

As you will soon see, the guys deemed good leaders by the drill instructors will be made squad leaders and platoon guide. They will have a degree of organizational authority within your platoon, but they will also be the first punished when people fvck up.

If you are really ambitious, resolve yourself to seek and endure the added weight of leadership at MCRD. The platoon guide usually gets lance corporal at graduation.

But whatever you do, DON'T be like the idiot in my company who showed up at Parris Island with a USMC tattoo on his arm. They were fvcking merciless with that guy!

Or the guys who got caught sneaking out to rob the chow hall in the middle of the night and got sent back to week ONE of training.

Or the guy who tried to break his own legs, or the guy who almost shot a warrant officer on the range, you get the idea.

You're about to go learn alot about yourself. Just don't be a sh!tbird.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Standing At The Crossroads
Julius is right. Do not do anything to stand out. Do what you are asked, and do it well. That will get you noticed by your DI's. Running and lifting before boot will help as well. I did 4 yrs in the US Army Infantry. That being said, I say good luck and Semper Fi!!!! You can also get hints on how to prepare at military.com
