Hello Jodi, YES. You should start out with his military rank. Private or Airman Basic or Seaman Recruit John B. Doe His UNIT... 3330th Training Squadron (etc) Fort Dix, New Jersey (whatever base) Zip Code. Things to do and don't do: Do NOT douse your letter with perfume! The Drill Instructors will smell it and pick on your boyfriend being a "casanova" or "playboy." Don't do stuff that calls attention to him. Don't send him and sexy photos. Don't include any nude photos because you feel sorry for him being away for the upcoming months! Everything he has is subject to inspection and when they see your photos you will be embarrassed and he will be hollered at for keeping such naked photos. Do send him a book of stamps. It's easier for him to have stamps ready so that it encourages him to write you back. Do send him a blank sheet of paper and envelope preaddressed to you folded up into your letter to him. That way he has a reason to answer you back - daily. He doesn't have to send you 10 page novels. He doesn't have time for that. He has time to write 1 page before lights out to tell you he loves you and that he is OK. Do NUMBER your letters on the back of the envelope. Sometimes they don't go to check the mail daily and you might have sent him 5 letters by them. This way, if you number then, then he will know which one to read first and it will be easier for conversation. Photos: Send him nice clean photos of you at places where you both enjoy being together (not the bed!) Take photo with his CAR to show him it's OK. Take photo with his dog/pet. Take photo with his siblings. Take photo with his parents. Don't send any photos with some other guy friend in them. Don't send photos with your other girlfriend in them. Guys always end up showing the other 49 people in their squad their photos - why? Because the other will tease him if they don't. Because some guys have no girlfriends and seeing someone else's girlfriend seems to make them happy for their dorm/barracks buddy. Don't talk sex or bedroom talk in the letter. You never know who is going to see the letter - once it is opened in his footlocker. Don't send drugs or other illegal substances. NO. No one is going to open his unopened mail unless some drug dog alerts on it. But, his opened letter in his footlocker can be looked at during a general search for drugs and illegal contraband. OK. Go write to him - everyday! We love to get mail. We all have to go to the postal service center mail box and if we have no letter we have to clean out the dust in the mail box. A big disappointment. Let there be at least 1 letter from you. Best wishes, Larry Smith Senior Master Sergeant, USAF (Ret.) First Sergeant

Go to a "OUT BACK" Restaurant and ask the waitress.

You don't have a burning desire to become a Marine so you can mark that branch off the list. Decide what you want to do in the military and talk to the recruiters of the other branches with that job in mind.

Your Battalion S-1 will be more than happy to help you out with examples... And don't use "fixing" you hick...lol

Here is the key, place your self in the mental aspect of it is not personal and they are just doing their job. No matter how loud they yell they are not doing it because they don't like you or because you smell funny, it is because they want to make sure that you compleat what ever the task they set before you. As long as you keep your head you will do fine. Also don't get worked up the Air Force is not known for being abusive or "hard core" so you shouldn't get to stressed. And fuck the rest of these cats that act like the air force is less then anything else, your serving your nation in the way you were called and that takes guts and honor.

After Corpsman A-school volunteer for FMF (Fleet Marine Force) school and qualify. Then you will be stationed with the Marines not in a hospital. The rate is still called Hospital Corpsman but if your'e FMF qualed the you are good to go. FMF Corpsman info site by Vietnam FMF Corpsman http://www.marzone.com/corpsman/Ferrell.htm and another one http://npa2.tripod.com/CORPSMAN.htm Just search it up if you have any more questions about FMF Marines, but at least you know what its called now Edit: You can also get FMF school in your contract

LOL. Letter of apology isn't going to help you. However if you still want to I would start by saying your a disgrace to the uniform etc and how you will get yourself some help in the civilian world.

You should be able to avoid heat exhaustion if you hydrate properly. Cardio is probably one of the most important things to work on. Run A LOT, but also practice push ups, pull ups, and situps.

Hey Michael, MY ADVICE TO YOU IS ATTEND A COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR A SEMESTER AND REGISTER FOR 15 CREDITS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. YOU WOULD FALL INTO TIER I THE MILITARY HAS 3 TIER RIGHT NOW YOU WOULD FALL INTO TIER 2 Tier I Applicants in Tier I have a high school diploma, or at least 15 college credits. This means a high school diploma, not a GED. Depending on state law, completion of high school by home study may or may not be considered equivelant to a high school diploma. Tier II Tier II includes GEDs, home study (in some states), Certificate of Attendance, Alternative/Continuation High School, Correspondence School Diplomas, and Occupational Program Certificate (Vo/Tech). The services limit the number of Tier II candidates it will allow to enlist each year. In the Air Force, the limit is less than one percent each year. In such cases, the applicant must score a minimum of 50 on the AFQT to qualify (Note: The "AFQT" is the overall ASVAB score). The Army will allow up to 10 percent each year to be Tier II candidates, but they must score a minimum of 50 on the AFQT.The Marines will only allow about 5 percent each year to be Tier II, and the Navy about 10 percent. Like the Army and Air Force, Tier II recruits must score a minimum of 50 on the AFQT to qualify. The Coast Guard only accepts Tier 2 candidates if they have prior military service, and even then requires them to score higher on the AFQT (50 for prior Coast Guard Service, 65 for prior service in other branches). Tier III Individuals who are not attending high school and are neither high school graduates nor alternative credential holders. The services almost never accept a Tier 3 candidate for enlistment. If you fall into this category, your best bet is to get at least 15 college credits, so that you will be qualified as Tier I. Make sure all 5 courses need to be 100 level or higher no remedial courses. If not you will not be accepted It can be from any Dept as long as they are 100 level. Trust me For example, English 101 World History 101 Psychology 101 Spanish 101 French 101 Art 101 GOOD LUCK!!!!
