isn't honorable discharge when there's good reason? Thank you for your time soldier.

Well, yeah, but I just got that in the mail today.

Long story short, my billet (job) was filled by someone else while I was deployed to Iraq. What that means is that there wasn't any space in the Marine Corps for me, as odd as that sounds.

Basically it means I didn't get in any serious trouble during my ten years.

Do you get paid well while overseas? Or did you not qualify for BAH? I ask this because I too, am service bound very soon for this country.

MP, and the MOS's I've held are 0621 (Radio Operator via OJT) 3432 (Disbursing Tech) and 1833 (AAV Crewman via OJT)

And then the jobs that aren't MOS's, squad leader, platoon sergeant, Designated Marksman, MRAP Driver.

Those last two were fun.

It's the same pay scale.

a lot of marine/navy gets honorably discharged since they're overstocked

seems this is the case here

Any advice for BCT RayDyn? I have OCS coming up soon after

Not fired, just couldn't reenlist. There is a difference.

That like infantry training? Hydrate, exercise, hydrate, stretch. Really not much else, basically just don't ever think "I can't do this." As corny as it sounds, believing you can accomplish something helps immensely. I've seen people in better shape than me fail to do something that I've accomplished just because they didn't believe they could do it. A defeatist attitude is your worst enemy.

Also, I can't emphasize the importance of stretching and remaining hydrated, stretching and staying hydrated will help prevent injuries which are your second worst enemy.

will do, thank you very much. I have a few buds who just returned from BCT< and they're straight up goofs so if they can do it, what you say is accurate. I then have one other buddy who finished OCS and is officially O1, which is what I wanna reach. He said that was hell, OCS, so I'm kinda petrified but so far my drill weekends have been great because I've remained positive and followed closely. I hope I get a chance to be a good PG
