I talked to him a few weeks ago on AIM.

He has a job and a kid and stuff. Works as a mechanic.

i got active as well, congrats! i was 1,922 on the active duty list, 68%. Only one guy who wanted active got deferred to the reserves, so overall it wasn't bad for our school. Any idea what date branches come out?

they were supposed to come out mid October last year, but didn't because of a delay, but my PMS doesn't give out the branches until all the seniors are in the room at the time. The total number in the nation was 5342 of which i was 2599. The total number taken for active was 2817.

not TOO shabby on the math, but i guess you don't plan on going finance

I suppose it would have come out closer if I hadn't rounded to whole percents.  Definitely not finance, MP or FA

Quite a few marines I know with less than 8 years in, both officer and enlisted, have had quite a few gripes that the Marine Corps have NOT been doing that over the last few years. I don't know if it's true or not, but I can think of 3 or 4 guys off the top of my head that had to go through hell and back trying to re-up, because it's cheaper for the government to pay new officers/soldiers at lower paygrades, than to continuously pay out for higher paygrades and signing bonuses.

Again, may not be true, but I've heard that story from a few different unconnected people.
