My boyfriend just left for Marine bootcamp yesterday. I know that they arent really permitted to make phone calls during bootcamp. But I heard that if you send them a calling card they can use it to call home. Is there anyone who has been through Marine bootcamp or had someone close to them go through it that knows from experience if this is true or not? Thanks guys =)

I know it's an idle offer that I can't really deliver. I am against the war in Iraq. But I would gladly take a bullet for any allied troop serving in Iraq, especially my own Americans. And I also know I would do it for any Iraqi child. Iraqi adults on the basis of knowing them a little. But, I can't deliver on the offer, so when I speak out against the war, I am doing what I can and from my heart. As a Viet Nam Vet I have some concept of what our and allied troops are going through now. Furthermore, I think I have insight on how it may affect you 20 to 40 years after. Never think that being against the war is against you. I just don't like lives cut short, our side, enemy or civilian. Were it me running for president my platform would be, if elected, I would vacate my office as president and assume my role as commander in chief serving on the front in Iraq. I suppose a shot at glory as it would be the first time a Head of State did that since Napoleon.

They got those big jets and massive planes to carry the troops why can't they use it as a water tank or something and drop water or somethin on the fire here

gahhhhh its so hot and smokey here and hard to breathe too


its hard to watch all the news of people losing their homes and having to move away

I live in Irvine and even tho the fire is moving away from my place right now its still a big threat since the winds can make the fire change directions at any moment...

even tho its like 25-30 miles away its sooo freaking hard to breathe...it literally looks like hell with the "red" surroundings

can' the Air force help us???

-I got discharged a few years back for a medical condition. In the civilian world I got the condition medically treated, doing exactly what the military doctors advised me to do requalify to reenter.
-However I got caught in a beaurocratic snafu where because of two regs written decades apart, which essentially tie the doctors hands up as far as letting me in.
-It's been made clear to me by both my civilian AND the military entrance doctors their is no good physical reason I can't reenlist (or commision at this point) in the US military. It's just a case where Form A says I have to be status X to get in, Form B says if I'm status X I can't get in. And the two forms only both apply because of a poorly written paperwork catch-22, they were blatantly obviously not written to be taken together, but due to a quirk they have to be.
-A recruiters I talked to and a doctor both said the same thing... contact your Congressman and see what he can do.
-Anyone try this? Does it actually work?

Mexican soldiers and civilian smugglers had an armed standoff with nearly 30 U.S. law enforcement officials on the Rio Grande in Texas,acording to the Texas police and the FBI. Mexican Army troops had several mounted machine guns on the ground more than 200 yards INSIDE THE U.S. BORDER (emphasis mine) about 50 miles east of El Paso. An FBI spokeswoman confirmed the incident. "People with Humvees, who appeared to be with the Mexican Army, were involved..."

The paper said Mexican military Humvees were towing what appeared to be thousands of pounds of marijuana across the border into the U.S., according to Chief Deputy Mike Doyal of the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department.

Such incidents..common, Doyal told the Daily Bulletin. November, deputies were called to back up agents ...in Texas after confronting more than six fully armed men dressed in Mexican military uniforms.

I just received someone's address, who is in Basic, but it was sent to me over text and with the spacing being kind of funny, I wanted to make sure the format was correct, because it kind of looked like "eco" and "4th" should have been on the next line. Here's the address

PFC {Last, First MI} Eco.
1.34th Inf. Regt. 4th
Plt. Wolfpack
{City, State, Zip}

Can anyone tell me if that looks right? Thanks in advance!

It's a person that never leaves the FOB. Like little Hobbits they hide in their holes safely on the FOB knowing of nothing that happens outside the FOB.

Grunts even made a song about Fobbits.

Anyone else got some funny stories with run ins with Fobbits, REMF, Pogues, etc or any good stories about some stupid FOB rules.

I know my grandfather was considered to be ex-army but he was also employed on the railway at some point close to the beginning of WW1. I want to know if he was considered "army" becuase of the railways role in the war Particularly the light railways.

Ok...I have been in for 3 years (Army). I have totally messed my back up to where I cannot run anymore with back spasms and my back locking up. Therefore it is keeping me from working out. I recently busted tape and now my First Sergeant says 60 days and if i haven't lost anything I am out of the Army. My question is, what do I do? I feel like i am being anally raped by the Military. They broke me hardcore and now they do not want to fix me. I will be getting an honorable discharge but Im trying to fight a Medboard. Any suggestions?
