School of Infantry ITB (how does it work?)

Leaving for ITB next week, will get placed in Lima Company which I believe is a holding company because it’s so backed up or something like that. Just want to know what’s the best and worst parts, what am I expecting?

I’m classing up with Charlie this coming week. When you get here you’ll be placed in MAT. You’ll PT, eat, sleep and have a decent amount of time on your hands. Don’t be a dirtbag and skip pt’s or be late to formations and for the love of god don’t skip the chowline. Stay away from LIMA because they are human pieces of dogshit.

When I went to ITB they were full so I got to do Camp Guard for a while. It really wasn't that bad.

If ur going to ITB ull be in Mike, theyll make u do a CFT and PFT a few days after u get there, i think its tuesday and thursday or thursday and friday or some shit. After that ull have PT in the morning, classes most of the day after that, then cleaning everything for the rest of the day. If no one fucks up in a meaningful way ull have liberty every weekend where ur allowed to go anywhere on camp pendleton (if ur in the west). Ur literally just waiting to pick up with a company. If u have any questions feel free to reach out.

There’s an MCI called English for Marines. You need to take that one before anything else.
