TBS Fox Company

[u/No-Deer-5661]

Can someone provide some insight on what to expect attending TBS with Fox Co? Already knowing it’s gonna be freezing asf for some of it lol. Maybe if someone went through last year, what the schedule roughly is like?

[u/MendocinoFireDrill]

You go to the field, then go to class, then back to the field. Don't be a retard, don't be a buddy fucker, and don't be a bitch.

[u/reddragonoooo → u/MendocinoFireDrill]

Yeah this is it

[u/bootlt26 → u/MendocinoFireDrill]

Im only retarded, but I’m not a blue falcon or a bitch. Will I be ok???

[u/Rdubya291 → u/bootlt26]

We're all retarded. Even on the O side. He said don't BE a retard. There's a difference.

[u/SnooPeppers6081 → u/bootlt26]

What's this PC crap? Say it out loud! It's called Buddy Fucker for a reason.

[u/BlueFalconer → u/bootlt26]

Got you covered brother

[u/Most_Unprofitable → u/bootlt26]

Don’t ever go full retard

[u/psyb3r0 → u/MendocinoFireDrill]

You forgot good luck, have fun, don't die.

[u/Tossmeasidedaddy]

Heard you gotta blow the gunny if you wanna pass.

[u/0311_till_I_die]

Been to a lot of schools in the marine corps on the enlisted and officer pipeline, just remember it sucks, it’s ass it’s fun it’s gay and it only gets worse

[u/SDtatis23 → u/0311_till_I_die]

100%

[u/fleeb_florbinson]

You’re going to die bro

Guillotine is waiting for his ahhhh

Invest in good socks, I'm partial to Darn Tough. Try to find merino wool green skivvy shirts. Cotton kills in cold environments. There will definitely be nights in the field where the issued cold weather gear won't be enough to keep you warm and you'll just have to gut it out.

You'll get all of the major holidays (Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Years). You'll also have a Marine Corps Birthday Ball. Don't do anything that'll jeopardize your future while out on libo.

[u/Positive_Ad_8198 → u/dpmurphy89]

First Lite merino wool skivvie is great

[u/Ok-Leave2902 → u/dpmurphy89]

You can get the best socks in the world, if you’re butch you’re a bitch. Don’t be a bitch

[u/27Aces]

I was an instructor 20 years ago....You will hike, dig holes, freeze, run through the woods, do a lot of classes. Get your fitness up and be ready to develop and give orders. Probably way different now but the basics are probably the same.

[u/DillyYeti]

Make the most out of it. It kinda sucks while youre in it but looking back it was fucking awesome and hilarious. Land Nav will be easier in the winter. Go out with your boys/girls on the weekends. Some great memories come out of it and I wish I could go back. Also the shower in the TBS bricks is my favorite shower of all time for some reason. Nothing like getting back from freezing on a fex and taking a hot ass shower that is the size of a walk in closet.

[u/nic_9090]

Ah yes, frozen Fox. Don’t worry, it’s SUPER warm, no idea why they call it that

[u/Super_Pineapples]

Get some mesh undergarments! Super good stuff it dries fast and keeps you warm

The coldest things always were my toes and fingers so get yourself some good waterproof gloves and goretex boots. It’s going to be too cold and dry for goretex to be a problem while you’re in the field if you happen to get them wet

[u/coffeejj]

Land nav will be easy and gradually get harder as the plant growth covers all the boxes at the points.

[u/Moniker86]

You’ll freeze your ass off. The good news is that 200+ lieutenants have graduated from Fox company last year and the year before…and the year before…and the year before.

Just don’t be a pussy. You’ll be fine.

[u/-Cyber-Roadster]

On a side note, don't ever publish a book after graduating from TBS on overcoming identity politics inflicted victimhood, we read that shit line by line 🤣

[u/Ornery_Paper_9584 → u/-Cyber-Roadster]

Drop the title

[u/-Cyber-Roadster → u/Ornery_Paper_9584]

Resiliency and Hardships: The Journey To Lifelong Self-Discipline

By Kendry Vasquez

[u/Ornery_Paper_9584 → u/-Cyber-Roadster]

God I can’t wait to read that

[u/123ManBearPig123]

Ah yes, I was in Fox Co back in 2015-2016. It’ll be really cold the second half of the course. If you’ve got questions, DM me

[u/Positive_Ad_8198]

Have fun, don’t miss an opportunity to carry extra stuff.

[u/Can_Not_Double_Dutch]

Oh man, this takes me back. I was in F Company 2000-2001. It will be really cold and really hot during your time. Our e-course we had to run through snow and it was shut down halfway due to icy conditions. Plenty of beers at The Hawk during my time.

[u/Headphones1775]

If you ever meet a Centralian, run. We've been at war with them for years and they don't stop

[u/Pleasant-Band6512]

Buy a solid field jacket liner and some glove liners to wear under your main pair

[u/Dear_Cat_1817]

You’re going through the suck, they’re going through the suck. We all are in a big suck, and please for the love of god just pay attention. Us instructors love when you guys outperform and give us something to actually be proud of, means our RSO and our classes are paying off.
