Im an Infantry Marine, with the additional MOS of 8152(Marine Security Forces), I cant say much about what I do but I do have a top secret clearance. And Im looking at joining a Police Department after I get out.

Im looking at one of the bigger cities for shear action. So what is the best Department to work for. Not so much for the salary but for the training Id get and the quality of the officers themselves?

Im a Marine, who was boxing during the crucible about 2 months ago, and I took a shot in my left ribs. It was sore for a good weeks after but eventually seemed to heal.

However, recently Ive noticed that it hurts to laugh if Im sitting down. And after watching a pretty funny movie, Its hurting for no reason now.

So my question is, does it seem like my rib is just bruised and is taking a while to heal? Its not like unbearable, in fact it hardly bothers me except when I laugh. Im just worried I might need to have it checked out.

Im a Marine home on leave for the first time, Ive been home for 3 weeks, and I dont feel like doing ****.

Is this normal? I have a PT test when I get back, but Im too lazy to work out. I will of course, but its taking more self discipline than it should.

Is it normal to feel this lazy on leave? lol.

Im a new Marine home on boot leave, and I need my work email to qualify for AT&Ts military discount. The only problem is I dont have my email set up. How do I go about setting this up?

Is it through MarineNet?

Is there any way I can view my LES before getting to my first unit. Im home on boot leave and I wanna see my LES, but I need a pre-registered email. Am I SOL till I get to the fleet or what?

Im a new Marine on boot leave and Im thinking of getting some higher quality boots for SOI. What boots are authorized for wear with our cammies? And for future reference where can i find such information?

At the very least Ill just wait till I get to my unit, but Id like to know ahead of time if possible.

If I was issued a MEU(SOC) .45 , could I customize the weapon so long as I could return it to the Armory as I was issued it? Or are there regs prohibiting me from swapping out grips and adding lasers and stuff?

I leave for USMC boot camp next monday. Got a Marine security Forces slot, 1 of 4 per year, and I hope to be on a FAST team soon.

Anyway, I need to know what I should be doing in these next 6 days. Suggestions?

So I started smoking black and milds about 6 months ago. And I just bought a pack of ciggarettes, i smoked half a pack and said **** this...anyway, how much damage could i have done to my lungs? I only started inhaling blacks about a month ago, and I was smoking about 1 black per day. Then I smoked like 2 ciggarettes per day for about a week..

Im not too terribly worried, i just found out that it takes 15-20 years for your lungs to clear up. And to anyone just starting, quit, this crap sucks.

Im 18, Ill be 19 in December. Im in the Marine Corps Pool program, I ship 6 December. Im going to be an MP, so I have a good job that is marketable, Ive always been a leader. I was even picked by my recruiters to be the guide for our recruiting station. Meaning out of 50 other Poolees they thought I had the best chance of being Honor grad in boot camp.

I was in JROTC for 6 years, did very well. I graduated on time, Ive never been arrested, or did drugs. Im overall very well rounded and level headed.

So why is it, that no matter what i do, no matter how well thought out my plans are, my parents fail to recognize that Im motivated? My parents constatly accuse me of being unmotivated and lazy, and when I tell them Im doing the best I can, they say my priorities are jacked up.

My parents never give me credit for my achievments, they instead look for the next thing to nag me about. And the latest thing is, because I cant find a job, that makes me a bum. Even though Ive applied to everywhere I can think of, its not good enough. So apparently Im supposed to beat on the doors of everywhere I can every second of every day. Otherwise Im not motivated enough.

I mean, What am I supposed to do? I think Im just at the point where Im grown enough to have my own way of doing things. And its not my parents way so its automatically wrong. Is this normal? Im the oldest if that helps.

I really wanna get into motorcycles, Ive always liked them. But what is a good bike to start with? Once Im comfortable with bikes I wanna work my way up to a Yamaha R1. Super sweet bike. But its like 966cc.

So should I start with like a 500? What are some good starter models?

Im over 18, I turn 19 in december. What are the requirements for a colorado drivers license?

Im working on a story about some indians and how they responded to the arrival of the whites.

So is "Chief Runsnakedwitbitchesbarefootintheforest" a good indian name? Also, how would you say that in Indian speak?

How long do beginners normally take to become proficient in the first few Kyus? And do they test you to see if youre ready to advance?

I downloaded a game recently and it installed fine. But it is missing a .dll file so it wont run, vfs20.dll. Reinstalling it didnt help.

Anyone know where I can get this file for free?

what is the difference between a 9mm, 9mm parabellum, and a .380 caliber bullet?

Arent they all the same round?

My friend wants to know if its normal to fantasize about being ravaged by 7 black guys in jail. Shes highly concerned.

Just realized my ship out date is 20110321

USMC MOS 0321 is Recon, how fricken cool is that?

Anyone know any ways to do it? I know they teach you how to clear as a team but i need to be able to do it alone. Step by step process please.

And no BS. Only people with REAL training.

I just enlisted about a month ago and I know you can volunteer for up to 14 days recruiter assist in your home town.

But can you choose where you go, or is it wherever you were recruited from. Because I moved from Hawaii to Colorado, and was only in Colorado for about 6 months. Whereas most of my friends are in Hawaii and i feel I would be better prepared to help the guys down there.

So can I pick where I go? Or do they send me to the RSS where I enlisted from?
