Just thought I would say hello, I'm Ridgrunner665's son. I don't own a 1911 but I have shot my dad's, and I was hoping that after he bought his new XD that he would give me his 1911, but it don't look like he is going to. I've had 2 pistols so far, a Bersa 9mm and a Bersa 45. The Bersa 45 is at the gun shop for sale so i can upgrade to either an XD or Glock 45. I have not made up my mind which yet...but it will be a 45.

I'm going to get a 1911 whenever I can afford it.

I'm in ROTC and planning on joining the USMC after high school.

Welcome young pup, glad to have you. You will probably be running this place one day.

Awwwww dad, no 1911 for jackrabbit?

Hello JR, good to have you. Thing about a 1911 is that they are hard to let go of. You'll get one one day. I am currently 1911 free, but am working on one.

Welcome aboard, glad to have you. Hope you learn and enjoy.

Welcome to the forum. If you have any questions about the Marine Corps let me know.

 

[jackrabbit101]

Thanks usmcmp, I do have one question. What do I need to expect in basic training. I would really appreciate it.

 

[usmcmp]

There is a lot to expect in boot camp. Tell you dad to give me a call and we can talk some time.

 

[Ridgerunner665]

Will do...but its about time for him to head to bed. Maybe tomorrow evening if you're not busy.

 

[usmcmp]

No problem. In the process of getting ready for the movers to come tomorrow. Just let me know when you want to call.

 

[usmcmp]

What MOS are you thinking about doing?

 

[Ridgerunner665]

He thinks he wants to be an armorer..but he's not sure yet. He does like and enjoy fooling around with guns.

 

[usmcmp]

Well let him know if he decides to be an MP and comes through the school before the next 3 years I will be there to greet him.

 

[Ridgerunner665]

He is 16 and MP is one MOS I have suggested to him many times...but I'm letting him decide for the most part. There are so many to choose from and he is a very smart young man...his options are wide open.

All I have told him is to get some training that will be useful...he says he's going in for the whole 9 yards though (until retirement)

 

[usmcmp]

MP is a good MOS for the most part, it has its ups and downs just like any job. When you get deployed instead of marching or doing foot patrols you get to drive around in armored vehicles. You also have to be 19 by the time you graduate the MOS school in order to go to a PMO, but if you go to a field unit you can be 18.

Welcome!!

 

[jackrabbit101]

Thanks you all...

usmcmp, thank you for the info. I'll probably have more questions later as they come to me. Gotta get to bed for now...school tomorrow.
