[@spencer-pz6sz]

[@allysonvilleda8343]

So am I! Nov28

[@dariuswells4961]

Those 1st 3 days are ROUGH! I remember I had a huge hole in my laundry bag carrying all my equipment to the squad bay! I was getting sooo chewed out! 2008 / Lima Co / PLT 3105 RAHHH!

[@daniellew952]

I ship out in about two months, this was very helpful. Thank you so much!

[@YarielizOrtiz]

Danielle W Of Course!! Goodluck!

❤️❤️❤️ So cute

[@faye3642]

ouuuu good luck!!

[@kim_chi1193]

How was it?

[@rod3546]

Hello Danielle, how was your experience in the marines ?

[@MABeltran86]

If you enrolled in the DEP program, you will know all these things and if you attend all the Poole functions you will know these.

[@chellacalix9399]

That is so true... I have been attending poolee's function and attending PT and it helps!!!!

[@mightymacdiesal12]

That depends on your recruiter. Some, like mine was, are lazy, bare minimum, meet their quota pieces of crap. Unless your a pretty female, then they will jump through hoops. Terrible.

As a person in jrotc and wanting to join the marines in the future this is a good video

[@mydog7492]

[@TailRotorMafia]

hi! I loved the video, it cleared up a lot for me:) thank you so much! i was wondering though, what does “rate” mean in military terms?

[@blueteddygacha1604]

Am a little girl that wants to become a marine

[@Oddlyn]

Thank you! I hope to enlist next year!

[@nana_untamed]

I'm thinking about it I'm scared because because I have 5 kids and I'm married but I'm so unhappy with my life 😕 I just wanna leave I know horrible thinking but I can't I've been my husband shadow for too long I have no life he and my kids are my life but he doesn't take me serious

[@raeojone9340]

Did you end up joining?

[@NaNa-re3wc]

Sounds like therapy would be a better solution…

[@MILZ414]

Oh wow I didn't know we're not allowed to have parts. I was planning on braiding my hair into just 2 braids (considering I'm african american) my hair is not able to go into a bun. I leave next month now I have to think of a new hairstyle, I really do not wanna cut it 🙃

[@QueenKenteaira]

Just get small braids it will last longer and you will have a neat bun

[@YarielizOrtiz]

I wouldn’t recommend doing like box braids because you won’t be able to redo them for 3 months and you’ll be training/getting dirty almost everyday!

[@YarielizOrtiz]

You can most certainly have a part when it comes to braids but there’s specific regulations that come with any hairstyle you chose to do!

[@RaiderTrey206]

You have a lot of confidence to be making videos.

[@glutenfreetiktoks9277]

Good advice👍

[@jonathangonzalez6972]

Can they drop you for failing a written exam? There’s no retake?

[@YarielizOrtiz]

Jonathan Gonzalez you may retake it but im not sure how many times they give you to retest.

[@gogurtz1738]

Tell them the real side of the Marine Corps. THE FLEET!

[@uhgirl6753]

Can you ask to go to the bathroom whenever you need to go or is there times when it is completely not allowed?

[@YarielizOrtiz]

It really depends but for the most part as long as you ask permission to go they’ll allow it.

[@oh9900]

Do the classrooms have actual classroom environments or are they just yelling the whole time? Also how long do they usually last?

[@YarielizOrtiz]

oh theyre actual classes in a “relaxed” enviornment but when they stop for breaks is when they start yelling.

[@YarielizOrtiz]

And being in bootcamp you never know what time it is so I dont know how long they lasted

[@oh9900]

Yarieliz Cortez Makes sense about the whole time thing. Thanks for responding

[@agentorange_3025]

“RAH” yarieliz! OOfuckinRAH

[@CPTUBESPACE]

How did you deal with period cramps???

[@YarielizOrtiz]

Most girls don’t actually mensturate during bootcamp! So it’s not something we really have to worry about.

[@gena.u04]

what will happen if i get my period during bootcamp unexpectedly how do i tell someone.. and will i be able to wash my body or something ? i’m trying to prepare myself before i go

[@qiyidian]

do they give you a break when you're on your period? and what if you get period during the crucible :( I always feel awful when I'm on my period

[@YarielizOrtiz]

No, but the truth is 99% of the girls don’t get it during those 3 months of training!! So you won’t have to worry about that.
