Hello fellow Marines. I just had a question concerning the Improvised detection dog course (thus the title of this blog). My question is: "How exactly do you get flagged for the course?" I am an Infantrymen (0311), and during our current cycle, it seems like the higher ups just flagged some random junior marines from HQ for it, and they never really told my company about the course at all.
When I asked my platoon commander about it, he told me that they had already selected the ...

A great WWII Marine passed away Tuesday, March 10th, 2009. Kenneth J Jackson served as an artillery officer with the 1st Marine Division in the the Pacific from 1942 to 1945 and was involved with numerous campaigns including the Battle of Peleliu and Okinawa.

Brother Marines,

I recieved an email from a Marine I have know for years, but like any other email I get that looks like it has been passed on time after time, I do my own research.

What I found, Shocked me and I am sure if you do your own research or use the links I post here, you will come to the same conclusion. ...

Maybe I'm wrong, but the old saying "Once a Marine, always a Marine" should not be used to describe some who wore the Globe, Eagle and Anchor.

And how about John Murtha who called our brave Marines "baby killers" and denounced their actions in Iraq? There are probably many more peole that should rightly be called "EX" marines and not ...

I am currently attending 3043 school at Camp Johnson, NC. I just got my orders saying that I'm going to 3rd Mar Div in Okinawa, Japan.
I don't know how I feel about being with the grunts just yet, I guess I'll see how it goes...
I was wondering if anyone could give me any information on what to expect, whether I go HQ, 3rd, 4th or 12th Reg., 3rd Recon or Combat Assault Btn.
I chose overseas as my preference, so I'm happy that I'm going to Oki, I just have NO idea what I'll be ...
