Bob A Feet posted:So just how bad is camp Wilson There's no cell phone reception. The PX has pretty good snack selections. You coming out for the next ITX? I'm going to be doing coyote stuff for it. There's a fake cell phone tower that's only like 10 meters high on top of a little one room building near the entrance to Wilson from mainside. That tower there isn't connected to the phone network, but you do have line-of-site to the actual towers back at mainside and it's about the only spot on Wilson that I can consistently get 4g data.

Pretty much all of the spaces on Wilson are insulated metal boxes of some variety, but they usually have an air conditioner hooked up to them. How well your A/C works is another matter, so good luck. At least our highs are only in the 90s these days.

But yeah, the place is lame, although I'm sure the training could be pretty cool if you have a good unit and aren't trying to cram what could be months worth of material into a two week summer AT.

The Marine that committed suicide on Pendleton this week was somebody I've known since boot camp, and went through language and MOS school at the same time as me. I've never liked the guy much, but I didn't dislike him enough to want to see it come to this.

It's fun watching the tankers that I share a barracks with field day. Lots of PFCs running around war crying with mop buckets while corporals yell at them like they think it's cool.

Bob A Feet posted:So just how bad is camp Wilson Only place on Wilson I could reliably get cell service without actually being out in town was up near the tent city, if you walk up past it to where you're overlooking the main road you should be able to get data. Of course that was a few years ago. For all I know that particular tent city has been taken down.

Go to any car dealership and get a base model mustang for 36% APR.MassivelyBuckNegro posted:just get a bunch of tats and spend every free minute you have in a stripclub. Also get a series of payday loans so you can spend as much money as possible at said strip clubs. I recommend the Mirage (if it's still around).

Get the hell out of Jacksonville every chance you get. Buy some decent camping gear and go on cool trips instead of spending all your money boozing in the barracks.

Seriously, I can't stress this enough. Get out of the money pit that is Jacksonville any chance you get. If you think you have interest in rock climbing, the bigass gym behind the main side PX (I forget the area name) has a decent wall to start on. Or pick up a long board and spend your weekends chasing mediocre waves. Just something. Don't get sucked in to the work/booze/my life sucks/sleep?/ work cycle.

So is tobies, when we were in holding platoon some kid spent his last $1400 of boot money Here's my Mirage story: at mechanic school (3521) on camp johnson, someone snuck off base and went to the mirage. Next day in class, his face was red and covered in pustules. He had caught panties a stripper had thrown into the crowd and drunkenly rubbed it on his face. Don't go to the Mirage/strip club/boot bullshit, save your money, do worthwhile things.

If you do get a tattoo make sure to go to the first place outside base, those are usually the best.
