Any other vets here, or those currently on active duty?
I am USMC, '00-'04
I myself am not but my brother is a Marine and my dad was in the Air Force during Vietnam
my husband is active army, he gets out the end of this year, my brother-inlaw is active army, gets out in a couple months i believe, and i grew up with my dad active army (he's now active national guard)
Ex-USAF, B-52 Electronic Warfare Officer/Navigator. 1984-89
I plan on joining th military soon gonna become a drill sarge
Hence my sig
My dad went to the Naval Academy and retired after his 4 year obligation. My sister is currently in the navy and an E-6 I think... can't remember exactly. She's stationed somewhere in West Virginia, a peculiar place for a naval base if you ask me.
I did air cadets when I was a kid, and joined the reserves for the army later on, but I would most likely stick with Air Force as my grandfather always loved the air force but because of his vision was in the Army.
No Coast Guard, LOL
my parents wont accept my decision to to join but its my life right so any recommendations for field marines wont take me
I'm not in the military myself, but my Great Grandpa, Grandpa, Dad, and older brother have been (And are) in the USN. And I plan on joining the USN in two years time. :D
Nice to see I am not the only Marine.
This is a serious thread.;)Quote:

I hereby demand that all military boys post current photos in uniform!

I'm going for basic training soon, phrase 1

Special Forces Support Group (SFSG)
British Army.

I was under the impression that you already had to be a trained infantryman in order to apply to SFSG.Quote:

I'm ineligable for service because of vision, asthma, and congenital heart defect, but both my father and paternalgrandfather were Seabees.
Well, good luck man! Remember, being physically fit isn't the only thing. Mental toughness counts for a lot.Quote:

9 years marine corp 1div and well 0321 detachment mos from coronado cali being a officer i have no actual mos and for those enlisted i am a mustang ooohraaa not a stuck up officer but grew to officer from enlisted ranks
P.S. my avatar is my patch =)
Mmmmm, Marine officers still have an MOS field number....
such as why 0321 is my mos , also if you know what a recon officer is you know that we have no MOS yes officers do but not a recon officer hence why my detachment mos is 0321Quote:

again your pointless and you can do same but what i can do is post a pic and then show some1 on cam later same guy so anymore bright ideas as well as my bars not some chevrons. Sadly i have no cam atm but to keep my honor and to shut you up for once i go buy one dont ever discredit meQuote:

4. You have given an incorrect MOS of a Marine officer (even went so far as to claim you don't have one), then claimed you use it because you want to somehow feel 'closer' to your platoon.
Shall I go on?
I ask again: What level asset are you? Where did you go to basic? Where did you attend SOI (I am not talking about the base, but the part of that base)? How were you commissioned? Where did you attent school?
wow are you that new to the corp dont even know what infantry officer mos is on top that what camp pendelton is come on now 3rd why dont you recheck coronado cali maybe try google it you might learn a bit or too you a little new to corp i give you that but wow.Quote:

try again
2. SOI WEST if asking
3. 1st Force Recon Company trains in a variety of locations during their Unit Training Phase. These locations include:
*
Ft. Polk, LA (JRTC)
*
Ft. Lewis, WA
*
Bridgeport, CA
*
Yuma, AZ
*
Ft. Irwin, CA
*
China Lake, CA
*
Coronado, CA
anymore idiot questions that you think you know? maybe you need to learn little bit more about the corp son
1. So, you don't even know what I mean when I talk about asset levels? That is pretty telling.Quote:

3. Where did you go to SOI? Do you even know what that is?
4. How were you commissioned?
5. I don't need to recheck Coronado to know that the recon element of 1st MarDiv isn't headquartered there.
6. I have been in, and have got out. Which is obviously more than you can say since you clearly have never been in the US Marines.
I can see you have no idea what I mean by asset level. Again, pretty telling.Quote:
