Future FMTB Student

[bigambaUSN]

So I'm going from NMCSD to FMTB Camp Lejeune for the March 08 class. I'm unable to to get on the FMTB web site for Camp Lejeune (but can get on the one for Camp Pendleton). So i have a couple questions. Where can i find the most updated list for what is considered a "full seabag"/and specific items for FMTB? Also, i'll end up checking in to 2nd MLG, but in the meantime, are there any military storage facilities around Camp Lejuene that i can hold most of my stuff in while im at FMBT (i dont want to keep all my stuff at home, Illinois, then have to spend a bunch of money just to have it all shipped 2 months later)? And what about my car? I guess I'm just worried about moving from coast to coast and how to deal with all my belongings. BUT I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THERE! IM SO EXCITED!

All personnel will report with a full Seabag. Senior personnel should check current requirements since they may be different from their initial uniform issues.

ACTIVE DUTY Enlisted students enrolled in the basic course will be issued all FMF uniform items.

My son had his car at Lejeune when he attended FMSS (now FMTB). You will have to take an online "driving course" before your car will be permanently registered on base. They will issues you a temp pass until you do that. As far as storage goes my son used his car for that. When my son was there (which was up until about 2 weeks ago) a North Carolina car inspection was not required as long as the vehicle was not registered in NC. Hope this helps you out.

Yeah all this helps alot! Thanks!

Thats according to age/rank... so if your under 24/e4 you will need the safety class. Check camp lejeune's TMO for storage questions, or you can find a place in jacksonville. don't get crazy buying boot bands, whistle, etc. the local exchange will have all that stuff on hand. start working out, the humps and pt can kick your butt if your not in shape. the school house and barracks are on camp Johnson. think like a Marine and you'll get buy the school just fine.

Welcome Aboard HM1, were glad to have an instructor contact who can answer FMTB questions. It's also nice to have the contact number, and a working website for FMTB East.

Looking to see more of you on here.

FMTB is bar none the best training I have received.

[FMF_DOC]

The drivers test your refering to is on NKO and is the Drivers improvement Course. This is a requirement of all Military personnel below the age of 26.

FMF_DOC;

Excellent profile picture, love the duty belt!

[bigambaUSN]

Heading off to FMTB early tomorrow! My next post will surely be an interesting one :)

[Corpsman77]

I'm curious about the MCMAP training that I didn't get there. :(

[8404]

Additionally, are there MCMAP training opportunities for reservists and where would that training be held?

[Corpsman77]

IF you are with Divison you'll get MCMAP. I've already been told I'll be in classes soon from the recon unit I'm attached to. A Sgt and a CPL are both instructors, each at a different level.

When I was with the MAW for that one weekend I was never even given an answer.

I look forward to gaining technical and practical expertise in MCMAP.

Mark;

You're attached to a recon unit? Are you going to get to attend the recon pipeline?

oorah Delta! Sheesh, what is the Delta for anyways.....

[Corpsman77]

I got attached to a sniper team and I've only had 1 drill with them so I don't have too much information yet.

All I know is they have an acronym with recon in it. lol


And, Delta was my old instructor team. Our current instructor, Pegasus, is an instructor in Delta unless they move from team to team.

Helluva instructor group. Gave real answers when I asked real questions. No beating around the bush. ;)

[bigambaUSN]

Well Ive finally reach a computer that i can use and get on here, but im well out off FMTB and at 2nd MARDIV HQBN BAS. Any questions, shoot em to me! Oh and HM1 Paul, thanks for all of your help!!
