I don't know anything about their daily routine, we refered to them as "fire rocks"

I think he'll be associated with the air wing and on stand-by for aviation crashes. Like a fireman at the airport.

If things haven't changed since 2000, I believe he will be going to Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo (middle of nowhere), Texas for his MOS school.

The Crash Fire Marines skate, there school is like 3 months long. They usually have a crazy working schedule. I guess its different in every unit but in my unit at 29 they have a crazy schedule. Supply is the way to go..:flag:

It is funny to see the term 'skate' is still in vogue - - 30 years after my day.

I wonder how far back it became a 'catch phrase ' in the Corps?

I doubt it predates 'maggot' and 'slime'
