On Jan 25th, I ship out from Milwaukee to Camp Pentleton for Marine Combat Training (MCT).

This is about a month long. I will not be taking my laptop, I will have no internet access that I know of. So, Jigan and Kerras will be inactive for a month. Following that directly, I will be heading to North Carolina, Camp Lejune, for my Military Occupation Specialty (MOS). The Marine Corps will be teaching me to be a Fiscal Budget Technician. Looks like it's accounting.

Now for my questions.

1. For anyone who has gone through MOS school, about how much free time is there, after work is done? For my MOS, if you know specifics that'd be great. I'm not seeking boatloads, but some free time would be great to know about.

2. Any specific pitfalls at MOS schools that I should avoid, both gaming wise, and general things?

3. Anyone stationed at Camp Lejune or nearby?

4. For internet connections, can I expect Military bases to restrict Lusternia? Or anything weird about internet connections?

I'm willing to listen to general advice as well. This is essentially my first step off on my own, without parents or Drill Instructors ready to point me in the direction to charge, so I'm heading into uncertain waters.

Sidenote: Any Lusternia related drinks? I got a list of Warhammer 40k drinks to try, exceot for The Warp (Expresso, 1 shot vodka, 1 vicadin. I don't do vicadin, period.), but do we have any Lusty drinks? The Commisar looks interesting, half glass of red bull, 1 shot whisky, 1/2 shot tequila. Apparently, the hangover "should have the intensity of a bolt-pistol rounds to the head."

The Gaudi: Mix all the types of alcohol you have together, add in weed, then light on fire and drink.

The troll. Like any other drink, but you serve it with non-alcoholic beverages and sweeten it to hide the lack of bite.

30 minutes later, lulz it up.
