This page will be my feeble attempt to document my own preparation for Marine Corps Recruit Training as well as to collect and publish the basic Marine Corps Knowledge and requirements that would be of interest to other potential recruits.
KNOWLEDGE
: This is a collection of some basic knowledge that any new recruit would want to look at and learn before leaving for Boot Camp.
MOTIVATION
: This page is disgustingly, unabashedly OOHRAH stuff that I found inspirational. It's a collection of images, links, and quotes that would make just about anyone want to run off and join the Marines.
**PARENTAL ADVISORY: The "Motivation Page" contains language and subject matter that I would NOT consider appropriate for some children. Please view it yourself before viewing it with your children.
AMY'S TRAINING SAGA
: Well, for anyone who just really, really wants to know, I've put my weight figures and my training schedule here for all the world to view. I mean, what woman in her right mind wouldn't want everyone to know what she eats and how much she weighs. ha ha ha. Seriously, I find this sort of thing cathartic, so I do it for me. But...if you wanna see it, be my guest.
