Heya,
first of all I dunno if this topic is even allowed or not so mods delete\lock if it's not.
anyway, my name is Dror Levi, and I'm from Israel, and I'm currently serving in the IDF.
The point of this topic is just, I'm very interested in comparing notes and stuff, hearing about your training, stuff like that in the marines, how it's like compared to the IDF, what's different bla bla bla.
For anyone who's interested I'm almost 19 years old, currently serving in Unit Oketz. so anyone interested in talking and comparing, PM me with your ICQ aim msn or whatever.
if anyone wants an explanation here about anything related to the IDF I'll be happy to answer.

Don't know what IDF training is like Kalban, can you give some examples of your training?

Also, I know you don't know but Marine is always used with an upper case "M" when talking about the USMC. When talking about marine life, such as fish or sharks, then lower case "m" is ok...good luck on your search.

Good point cowboy, :thumbup: . Perhaps speaking in general? Pullups, crunches, 3 mile run and kicking @ss.

Maybe I'm just a paranoid old Jarhead, but I would feel better if any and all conversations and information stayed in the open forum.

God

Corps

You first Kalban...
What weapon do you carry, how many rounds do you carry on an assignment, and what is it's rate of fire ?? (rhetorical)

Gentlemen,
Some questions can SOUND generic enough, but some one else answers how many men in a squad, and pretty soon you know how many rounds to expect in a defensive perimeter (sp?).

There was a thread awhile back about 'infiltrators' going into chat rooms and such, to stir discontent and discord.

No... not jetdawgg or 10th.

...My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.

When will you be back?

I can't tell you that. It's classified.

Ok, to some of the posts here:
I'm not a terrorist, and I'm not trying to get any secret information from you. I was meaning to ask general questions, nothing you're not supposed to tell - I trusted you know what you can tell and what not. what I wanted to ask I can find online on the internet, I just wanted to hear it first hand from a Marine- especially considering that I might one day serve in america as well.
To those who don't believe me still, I understand your suspicions, I'm not forcing anyone to tell me anything, and I'm sure you trust your fellow Marines not to give away secret information. (Just like I won't give away anything but stuff you can find online.. in hebrew of course)
I wasn't gonna ask how many men are in a squad, what weapons you carry or anything like that.
If no one's interested or doesn't trust me enough, that's fine too.

Dror.

Kalban, if you go to our website for the USMC recruiting it gives general information about the Marines and bootcamp, etc.

Then... you now see that we are an observant, if not untrusting of outsiders breed. We are not timid about speaking our minds, or pointing out others shortcomings.
He!!... we've run a BUNCH of folks away from this site of ours.

But we are Americans, and you are free to ASK your questions. But don't get ruffled if you don't like the answer, IF one is offered. Don't be offended if we ask of you in return.

If you ARE INDEED a defender of your homeland, then we ARE brothers of sort... well maybe more like cusions (sp?).

hehe, I'm not so easily scared off. if you heard anything about Israeli rudeness and whatnot - it IS true.
I'm not offended if you ask me anything in return, I said myself that I'm willing to answer any questions regarding the IDF. (of course, if I can't give away these answers, I won't)

I am indeed a defender of my homeland, Israel. I am currently serving in Unit Oketz. Oketz is a special forces unit comprising of the dog handlers. I am only in the middle of my training and I'm not even close to hear the word dog yet, that'll be a while. I've done my 4 months basic training and am almost finished with my 2 and a half months of advanced training- I'm currently home on sickness.

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer.
Dror.

:evilgrin: :flag: :iwo: If you want to become a member, as a friend, family of Marine's, fill out your profile, and we'll take a look see. I agree with many of what has been told to you, as a response. Marine's are a tight knit group and we take our brotherhood seriously. Like one said, you can ask, but don't get your feather's ruffled from the answer's. And, we don't like sayin' too much about us to a "foreigner." Just the way it is.

Pretty much but what difference does THAT make? We were ALL your age one time and, sometimes, those years are the only ones we can remember!

How do you think the younger ones (like yourself) learn anything about the Corps? From us older ones that have done it already.

Kalban

Ouch. Sensitive.

Didn't mean that anything's wrong with it, I was just surprised. I was sure that everyone here are around my age.
