Nope, nothing at all wrong. Looks like he just came inside the wire. If you look at his neck, he is probably a scout sniper, with the typical necklace. Looks like a Marine that definitely doesn't...

Wow, I hope this is an attempt at humor. If not, pot meet kettle. Your sentence that begins with "While," makes this one of the funniest posts I have seen in a while.

Happy Veterans day to those that paved the way for the current generation. Although there is a lot of banter here on old vs new (some friendly, some not) know that you are appreciated and we are...

I Graduated in 1996 and there was no crucible, but it was about to start. I would say late 1996 to early 1997 but i cannot remember.

I wish we would go sleeves down year round. Of course I am in 29 Palms and benefit from the crispy/ farmer's tan/ arm syndrome.

Well, hang around for a bit you start telling members what to do. If you had been here a while you would know there is a recent trend for people to start a profile and begin bashing most members. ...

Troll? I think so.

In all cases it should be best person for the billet/job, but that is not the arguement. You should read what I wrote. I simply said that the OP may have taken the CMCs words out of context. Every...

Calm down, we as an officer corps have had certain recruiting goals for gender, race, contract in place for a while. For instance, I knew a guy in the Midwest that needed a female, Asian, pilot to...

Tank Officer here. He can go to 1 of 2 active duty battalions.
1st Tanks-29 Palms
2nd Tanks - Lejeune

Tankers are a rare breed. He is in a 70 ton tracked war machine that is proven on the...

Indeed very suspect. I would think that a Sergeant would know where to look for uniform questions. i.e. the Permanent Marine Corps Uniform Board.

There are multiple ways to get to the Darkside. I went MECEP, it was good for me and was a good break for the transition. I left the drill field and went straight to college. Talk about a culture...

All Marines rate one Home of Record shipment from their Home of Record to their current duty station only once throughout their entire career. Not a well published or well known fact but it does...

You have a duty waistplate with removable Eagle Globe and Anchor. You have probably seen it before on the green belts of your Drill Instructors. Very different in size and design from the any of...

Rank is always addressed first, So the proper greeting would be

Good XXXXXXX Gentlemen with the salute, then Good XXXXXX whatever the rank of the female, in this case GySgt.

If the female is...

Yeah Top, Tustin started closing in 95 or so i believe. They still had units there in 97. Not sure who the last ones were, I was a grunt at Camp Pen at the time.

HMLA 469 - MAG 39 3D MAW, Camp Pendleton, CA according to my excel document

Check out this link and it should answer any questions. Understand that when I was at the schoolhouse, you had to put 1 Service Support MOS in the top 5.

Im back. All is well. Site looks to be more hostile than when i left. Looks like we got some keyboard commandos now. Oh well, Marines will be Marines. Another deployment down and looking forward...

Friends,

Leaving very soon for 6-8 months. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know where. See you in the middle of football season.

Mustang

They are nothing new. They have been around for my last 14 years. Most are awarded as atta boys. Others are given coins when they join a unit. Other units use them as gifts at birthday balls and...

There are a ton of Mustang officers in the Corps. Some are awesome, some are not. That being said, the Marines will know if you are a prior. Your seniors, in most cases, are uninterested in your...

Old Marine, sorry for the late reply been running ragged the past few months. I have let my subscription to the DI Association west run out. I was the quartermaster in 2002 and 2003 when we just...

If you want internet you have to go to Mainside, as far as I know. I am stationed here and my unit constantly supports EMV. I have never seen an interenet cafe at camp wilson.

Chris,

There are a lot of things you have to consider. I did 12 years before going the MECEP route, and had no plan on doing more than my initial four years. I will bring up some pros and cons...
