I love how everyone develops an ingrained habit of writing the date in YYYYMMDD format after a few hours at MEPS.

Nope, never had that problem. I also write in blue ink when I can too.

I've found the 23 JUN 2008 format to stick to me.

I do that out of spite sometimes. I remember an nco handing me a pen with the paper i had to fill out then he goes uh its supposed to be in black. I got so pissed off i went to the copy machine and just did a black and white copy.

lol

I think it makes more sense to write in blue, that way you can easily tell if a document is a copy or not. Marines aren't really known for making things convenient though.

im going in september...

Maybe thats because thats how the ENTIRE military writes it ;)

If you've got trouble telling the difference between black ink and a copy then you have GOT to be a Marine.

Same here.

Its a govt thing everything gotta be in fucking black ink. don't ask me why but it does.

Same here.

My self and a friend of mine ship on the 8th for Paris Island SC, but yeah that would be something else.

Hardy har har...

I said easily.... as in passing glance, not close examination. If you deal with the mounds of paperwork like me, anything to make my job more convenient is something I seriously consider incorporating.

Goddamn, guy, whats with all the acronyms and shit? You ain't a marine yet!

I bet you juat learned that date format yesterday.

BTW, I already graduated BCT and AIT. 13B, King of Battle follow me!

Ya ya ya doggy your infantry school is as long as my Marine combat training. But if you poolee's need to ask questions go to leatherneck.com there is a large forum full of Marines and we have a section for Poolee's

Yeah, I have seen that web site. All kinds of good information there.
