Your last name could be Terminator and they'd find a way to make fun of it. Your name could be Smith and you'll end up being nicknamed Buffy. Your last name could be Pansy and you could have the respect of every one of your comrads. Your last name could be Stallone and still be the biggest wuss of 'em all.
Good luck to you but you best gain some confidence or mock arrogance to get you through. |

Yes you should spell it PELLI !!!!! Cause you're doing something that not many Americans have the balls to do. Be proud of yourself man there is nothing wrong with your name or what you have chosen. You are a real American hero. Don't forget it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I have all the respect in the world for you. Hold your head up high! Semper FI !!! |

They'll have a name for you! It really doesn't matter if your true name is too weak, they'll give you a new one. I went on 2 or 3 field trips in college while I was in ROTC and it was the most life changing experience in the world! I had a great time. I went to 29 Palms and Coronado and they did not hold back! So don't worry about your name now! Just be proud that you're serving your country! |

Don't sweat the small sh*t devil dog. You'll get your chance to prove your not weak during close combat training (Oooorah!!!!). In boot camp everybody's first name is recruit and their last name is some curse word that changes sometimes anyway.

Troop.. it's this way..the DI's could care less what your name is. Their job is to break you down and build you up and make you a Marine. Once on active duty it won't matter at all you'll be a Marine.... nuff said... |
|

Heads up!
|
No , but if you act weak they will eat you up. They will take anyone they can get nowadays . |

how can a name be weak? |

What the hell does that mean? Why would your name be too weak, trust me you will have people with worst names in your platoon. If that's a determining factor in joining the marines maybe you just aren't ready for that anyways. |

If you survive boot camp and become a marine, there won't be anything weak about you. Including your last name.

Some of these answers are right, you will get a nick name, and your DI will probably make fun of your name...alot. You won't be called Private until after graduation you will be called recruit Pelli. You should be more concerned about coming up with a good name for your weapon ( you will be required to name your weapon). But after boot camp nobody can call you anything but BRAVE.. you will have earned the right to be called a Marine for the rest of your life. Oohrah Semper Fi |

I wasn't aware that a persons name mattered in the Marines. |

You should be more worried about the push ups than your last name. If anything about you is weak, the Marines will toughen you up. You should start working out now to get ready for boot camp. Good luck. |

Pelli sounds fine to Me. doesn't sound weak, I guess it depends on the way you say it.
Pronounce it strongly when introduced. |

Pelli is a very nice name. I liked it so much I put Koko in front of it. I don't think it is a weak name at all. |

Your name is only as weak as your reaction to people who tease you about it.
Be proud of what you are given and defend it with the pride befitting a marine! |
