Since we all know that the diversity of the Corps is, well, interesting, I'm curious to know where everyone went and what they ended up doing after they exited the front gates.

Willie, that profile is filled out, it's just that it's set to "friends only" who can see it. That's the case with quite a few profiles here. Was news to me, we have no way of knowing about that kind of thing.

Example, what Chuck just said a second before I posted. He and Reaper are friends, so at that moment Chuck had access to his complete profile, whereas others don't.

As per a couple of others here, the "PROFILE" is filled out as required...

On my retirement day I went directly from the retirement parade to the Bowling Center at MCRD San Diego, changed clothes and went to work as Lead Mechanic (Pinsetter Mechanic). Did that for 13 years then became a maintenance man for a large property management company (biggest mistake of my humble lifetime) Stuck with than until I got to retirement age and took retirement at age 62 (one of the best things that happened to me.) Have been living a great life since then.

I was a radio repair man in the Corps. Went into paging network tech for double the money when I got out. When cell phones really started booming, I became a wireless network technician. Been doing that for the last 16 years. Only 20 years to go before I retire.

I always thought that Ed's drinking made his posts more acceptable.

When I got out I got scarfed up as a cop. They put me in the projects and then they put me on a team that went into places so that a few friends and I could "neutralize" the situation. I was able to utilize my Marine Corps skills which I actually refined over time.

What I liked about being a cop is that I could have a drink and get laid EVERY night. The God's were rewarding me with wine, women, and adrenalin rushes to the max. Life is good.

Long time since I've been called a boot. I may be junior to you, but I am far from a boot.

I keep my profile as friends only for OPSEC. I am not a fan of putting my life's story and information on the internet for anyone to access. The enemy uses the internet as a weapon these days and I'll be damned if I'm going to give away my families position and resources to the muj. If you don't like it, that's your prerogative. These bastards are everywhere and nowhere. A neighbor could be an ISIS sympathizer for all I know. If your response is going to be 'good, I hope they bring it on', don't, because I feel the same way but everyone knows that the element of surprise is the ultimate advantage.

Yut. Train. Kill.

I got out after six years. Would have joined the Marine Reserve, but there was no such thing in Alaska at the time. Joined the Air National Guard instead and stayed for almost 26 years. Spent the last 17 years as a C-130 loadmaster and got to travel all over the world. One mission was to Iwo Jima, where I got to go to the top of Mt Suribachi. As for combat missions, went to Bosnia a bunch of times flying out of Ramstein as part of Delta Squadron. Also flew on 77 combat missions in Afghanistan while based out of Bagram. No regrets, I had a great career
