Each month my recruiting office hosts a trip for all poolees (those waiting to ship to boot camp) to teach them about aspects of the Marine Corps. It also gives everyone a chance to meet and talk to the other poolees and Marines.
Last month we visited the scout sniper school at the Marine base in Quantico, VA. We got a talk from three of the instructors, a demonstration of the different rifles, a lesson in stalking and scouting for hidden objects, physical training (PT), etc. The picture on the top left is when we got to dry fire some of the rifles (we did not shoot live rounds). The picture below is from our stalking lesson wearing a gillie suit. I'm the one with the pink shoes :)
We've already covered the fact that I won't look like a typical Marine... especially with all the pink I wear! Whoever thinks Women Marines can't still have some girly girl qualities obviously doesn't know me...
