A multi-armed multimedia corporation founded in London in January 1968 by the members of The Beatles to replace their earlier company (Beatles Ltd.) and to form a conglomerate. The name is an ingenious pun, as it's pronounced exactly the same as "Apple core," the inedible part of an apple.

1. an ambiguous government agency designed to quash the idealism of recent American college graduates over a two year process. 2. an international American government organization with continual rotating foreign staff and a fleet of white Landcruisers aimed at catching volunteers out of site. 3. two years of one’s life determined in a brief 20 minute interview after 15+ hour international flight. 4. committees, sub-committees and exploratory committees for both. 5. the automatic and immediate forfeiture of four of the first ten Amendments. 6. a mechanism for those who cannot get laid stateside to remedy their situation and for those who could to forget how. 7. groups, flipcharts and markers. 8. commonly preceded by “Oh shit! I just graduated with a degree in international relations” 9. A whole lot of seriale (often dubbed over) 10. where CD, PTO, AO, PM, LCC, SSC, TM, PCMO, FA, GSM, and GSA speak to PCVs and PCTs about SPA, PCPP, MSs, WWS, ICE, IRC, and RA as well as EAP, ET, MS, and COS in acronyms.

Many of the top marching musicians of a region participating in an event similar to marching band, but different in the fact that it uses only brass and percussion instruments. Woodwinds (clarinets, flutes, saxophones, etc) are excluded from drum corps. Akin to marching band on steroids, and providing an unforgettable and powerfull experiance to it's members.
Examples of drum corps:
The Cavaliers
Santa Clara Vanguard
Bluecoats
Glassmen
Carolina Crown
Phantom Regiment

Despite what many bandos will say, Drum Corps is not "marching band on steroids," but a totally beast than both college or high school marching bands. It requires immense amounts of both time and energy to march in a drum corps, and is a truly amazing experience for all Corps Members.

IN GENERAL:
The Food was gross (as a vegetarian, they once served me a RAW POTATO for dinner!!) ...But it was FREE!
The dorms were old and falling apart (The furnace would decide to stop working in the middle of winter and blow out FREEZING cold air, it would take a minimum of 3 days to get maintenance in to fix it) ...But it was a FREE bed to sleep in!
The roommates were immature, loud, and freakin INSANE! (I watched this one girl make out with her stuffed animal dog for an hour before crying herself to sleep) ...But it taught you INTERPERSONAL SKILLS!
The leaders in dorm were full of themselves, gave bad advice, and some even stole things from others. (My room leader once during chores got into my dresser and stole $35 dollars out of my I.D. Pouch) ...But they taught you how NOT to be a leader!
The staff liked to patronize the students. Most were write-up happy. (We sometimes got write ups for walking in the grass) ...But the ones that really cared about the students would have done ANYTHING to help us out!
All-in-All
Job corps really sucked, but if you go in with the right head about things and follow the rules (no matter how pathetic they are) you'll survive just fine! Job corps was good for me, and good for a ton of other people too!
...oh! Did I mention that they PAY YOU TO RECEIVE A FREE EDUCATION?!?! That's right, YOU GET MONEY FOR IT!!!

I spent 366 days at Job Corps and Graduated from the program as a CERTIFIED PHARMACY TECHNICIAN and CERTIFIED PHLEBOTOMY TECHNICIAN (and over $900 in my back pocket!)
Job Corps, although tough, is a good place to get straight!
