HI Boys and Girls ( ok, mostly girls) :o)
I have my first poolee meeting tomorrow. I know that I'm gonna be the ONLY female there. Not that it bothers me, of course. Does anyone have a clue as to what I should expect??
Semper Fi!
Holly
P.S. BTW, my recruiter says that they are gonna be playing football!!! I don't even know the first thing about this male macho game ( not sexist at all here!! LOL) I am still gonna go, cause I'm sure I'll learn a lot, but football???

Holly,
I get threatened with football too :o) --the whole point is to just hang out together, talk about Marine things and get that cardio workout going! Be careful tho, I 'had' to play basketball with the recruiters and poolees (I'm the only female-I wasn't going to -not- play) and I got hurt which kept me from PTing for 3 weeks...(I'd never played basketball either)
So have fun, but be careful!

Hi Holly. I had my first poole meeting last week and I was definitely nervous, not knowing what to expect. I thought I would be the only female also but there were actually FOUR other female poolees and one newly graduated WM. We learned a little military procedure, such as standing at attention, right face left face about face, at ease, and we did the daily 16 and RAN! It was harder than I expected in some ways, easier than I expected in others, and a lot of tun. I have another meeting tomorrow and I am actually looking forward to it! Let us know how yours goes...
