For the past year and a half (approximately) I've been researching, investigating and testing the waters concerning getting back on active duty. The general word seems to be that it is a lot of...

So like I said, I read an article the other day http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2010/11/marine-recruits-still-needed-despite-202k-112910w/ This was written 29 November this year and has...

The Corps increased their ranks to 202,000 (I believe was the goal) over the course of 2006-2008-ish. I read an article the other day that pretty much said once those first couple batches of "surge...

And shepherds we shall be, for thee my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from thy hand,
That our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to thee,

SSgt Petz...Did the mods ever find your original "how do I get back in redux" thread? And what's the latest gouge about you getting back in...Anything new?

I had 9 yesterday and now it tells me I have 10,000! What are they, how do you get them and what do you use them for?

The new regs DO specifically forbid horseshoes, but it also specifically states that you ARE permitted to shave your head if you desire.

Thanks DIBLO7, I think you answered my question and got me headed in the right direction. I never actually crossed the border into Iraq, so I don't think I rate the ICM. I did however find the...

I was hoping I could get some clarification...I believe I rate both the GWOT-Service and GWOT-Expeditionary Medals, according to the award documentation, but I only have one of them (Service Medal)...

I know some 1371's (Combat Engineers) have successfully lat moved into EOD. Aviation and ground ordnance as well as ammo technician are good bets too.

Myself and my 2 best friends all went in on the buddy program. We are from an oddly named small town in Ohio, and the Drill Instructors never seemed to notice or care. I thought it was a dead...

Shortly after arriving at boot camp, NOTHING will shock you. That's a sure-fire thing. Some points at boot camp I remember thinking "This has to be some kind of Montey Python hidden camera joke." ...

Why would you want to wear the uniform if you aren't in the service anymore? If you were released under honorable conditions, I think you can, but if dishonorably then no. In my opinion, either way...

No, you don't have to be a math genius. It took me 3 times to pass Algebra One in high school and my graduation all depended on my Algebra final. The math part of the job is simple and you can...

1371 doesn't require any college level knowledge. All the formulas for demolition are basic algebra. When you do bridging (as a 1371) all the info is contained on a little graph (gap is x feet,...

I agree that it's BS. I thought the same way, as far as "they don't have to train us, we already went to boot..." A friend of mine brought up a point that I think is valid. Right now, the base pay...
