Just change your avitar to a coughing doggie.  Sorry to hear about your asthma and the ELS though, hope they didn't send you home in baby blues.

I was in Fox Co. I got dropped a few days before going up north.Then a few weeks in MRP (medical rehab platoon) and a couple more in RSP (recruit separation platoon). Solitary- you ever go to the DI school on a working party in RSP?

I got sent home pretty fast from MRP since Asthma doesn't have much potential to get better, so in that sense I got lucky.

I didn't realise how much crazy **** happens at MCRD. Someone in my company in the cycle before mine ate a bullet from his rifle on the range. I got to personally stop one suicide attempt and a couple of UA attempts while on firewatch.  And a guy that I was in RSP with had fallen off the top of the stairway to heaven and hit a bunch of bars on the way down (that's a 45 foot ladder thing on the confidence course) and was clinically dead for a minute.

Hey Greg, sorry to hear that you wont be able to join the Marines like you wanted.  I have asthma too, I think alot of us airsofters do lol. With the right meds, asthma doesnt have to be a factor, but it still eliminates us. But I for sure glad that we have gained back one of our fellow airsofters :) Welcome Back!

Solitary- yes I do. I started singing cadence when I was walking with my girlfriend to see what she would do/say..
I got pretty good at calling cadence since I was in MRP and RSP and didn't mind doing it when we had to walk somewhere. Everyone else is always afraid of doing it but I think it's fun.

I also tried to do some rifle manual with my airsoft M4- didn't work too well- that thing really IS a carbine. I can't even put the stock on the deck at order arms without bending over.

I'm back.. a bit early

Hello everyone.. I just got booted out of boot camp last week. While I was in the middle of training, I got diagnosed with asthma... how great is that?!

I think that makes me at least the second AA member to be ELS'ed (Entry Level Separation) from the good old USMC.

So anyway- I will start playing airsoft again soon.. at least I got paid for my training and can therefore buy more airsoft stuff. Unfortunately, I fell even more in love with the new Marine Corps cammies and will now have to buy a full set of authentic MARPAT deserts and woodlands.. oh, and the boots too. I really like the combat boots.

I haven't been set back too badly though; I already started the application process with the Maricopa Sheriff's Office to get a job as a Detention Officer until I turn 21 when I can become a sworn cop.
