Believe it or not, classmates.com has a place where you can go. If there is not already a group for your class, you can start one yourself. You would be suprised who will repsond.

Yes they do, like everyone is saying, I just wanted to put my two cents in. I had exodus last year, but I was already done with basic and moved into my actual training. But the soldiers who came in afterwards, one unit did the normal leave, while another unite actually shortened their basic by two weeks to have them out and done by exodus. Bullcrap! I did 9 weeks!

Hi,\nA lot of times, you can look on-line at the alumni association or call them to see if they have information.\n\nAlso, many people register with sites like Reunion.com and Classmates.com.  I put the Canadian links below.\n\nGood luck finding your friend.  The alumni association at the school might be the best bet, though, since you have that information.\n\nTake care...

Do you know someone who has an AKO acct.  My husband has one...I think that would be the easiest way to find out.  BTW, 101st is deployed right now.

Dig it: I was at both.  Ft. Jackson for BCT, and Knox for AIT (Bradley Mechanic).  Between the two, I spend 6 months in AIT at Ft. Gordon, GA.  This was a while ago, during the Clinton Administration when the Army was experimenting with "Low Stress" basic training.  I can tell you this: when asked during our final inspection what, if anything, we would change about basic training, of the 60-odd men in my basic training platoon, all but one said they'd make it harder.  We were all disappointed with how easy it was.  \n\nAt Gordon, I met some guys who did what they called "Pro-Train" at Jackson.  Apparently it was the exact opposite of what we did; thirteen weeks, ridden hard and put away wet.  Gordon itself was a very relaxed post for training, but it had to be.  AIT could be anywhere from 8 months to a year and a half.  You can't ride someone like you would in basic for that long.  \n\nFt. Knox was a wake-up call.  My MOS was reclassified and I was reassigned there.  Toughest time I had in training.  We did PT twice a day, training most weekends, ran to and from school, and had an hour of personal time at night if we were lucky.  But when I came out in the best physical and mental shape of my life, I felt an unparalleled sense of pride that I did not feel after basic training.\n\nRanger6 has the right idea.  Trying to get off easy is only cheating yourself.  Enjoy Ft. Knox.  It will be one of the toughest times of your life, but you'll live through it.  And you'll be able to stand just a little taller than some.  Good luck.

OHRAUH!  Outstanding!  I'm sorry, not many legit post about marines anymore. Yes you can look up past photos. I'm surprised you didn't get the photo package upon graduation. Do a search on yahoo for his company, like this\n\nNAME\nGolf 2099 Follow series\nAnd his Graduation date.\n\nG co. plt.2099\n\nIf i remember right The Chevron magi zine publish the photos.  Some sites of the top of my head are,  www.marinelife.com\nwww.marinetimes.com\n\nAnd their main site for Recruit depots has the grad photos. a search on yahoo can easily find it.\n\nWish him the best of luck, and that a brother in blue is thinking of him, and reading this made me smile.\n\nAlso you may wish to join MOM (Mothers of Marines)  \n\nSemper Fidelis.

regret NO WAY! I joined streight out of High School, boot camp, then to A school, went to BUDs and washed out the last day of hell week. went to a ship and to the first gulf war, saw many places and had a ship collision at sea, Lived in Singapore for 6mo, and apon returning to Pearl tried BUDs again, yes Its worth it, thats all I will say about that, placed with a SDV unit then with a SWTAB unit, Got out of active duity, went to reserves with a ASU unit then finished up with a SeaBee unit. \n RULE one in life (you make it so make it good)\nPeople say NAVY (never again volunteer yourself) B.S. You learn to Volunteer first to get a task you can do and not be given a task to do. It shows you will take a challange and do your best and it will be noted. Bravo Zulu My Friends, and Anchors Away.

Try military.com I've helped my husband find old shipmates that way. Go the to "community" tab and click on "buddy finder". It will only work if he's signed up though. Good luck!

Try one of the many "people finder" sites on the web. Also give his high school website a look-see, alumni section.

Hope this isn't too late, but I will be glad to help.  Just wondering, where do you go to school and what class is this for? If you have aim or any other chat program, it will be a great plus to communicate. Let me know, my aim is Ken2681

Yes, I went to Parris Island for boot camp.I saw a program on T.V. about a year ago on marine corps bootcamp, and it was alot differant then when I was in. So all I can do is tell you my experiences from 1992(man, do I feel old!) It was broken down into three phases.About a month per phase. They key in on Knowlege(everything from marine corps history,and uniforms, to basic infantry weapons,and communications), and they also key in on physical ability,(in other words they push your limits).Although theres more to it then that.If its something that your going to do, dont doubt yourself. Dont go into it half hearted. Once you make up your mind that its what you want to do, Then do it. In my platoon, We started out with alot of people, by the time we graduated and became marines, there was no where near as many.When people ask me what it was like, the only thing that I could tell them is that It's something you have to experience yourself. No words can describe it.Good luck! "Chesty Puller"
