Is anybody enlisted as servicemen here? I would like some information on how to prepare for USMC training bases.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Marine Corps: How to prepare

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I served 7 years as a Rifleman and Recruiter. If you have more specific questions, post here or send me a PM.Capodeciña said:Is anybody enlisted as servicemen here? I would like some information on how to prepare for USMC training bases.

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.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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
