Wow. Seriously? I've never heard anyone say that in real life, so why would anyone say it online? Thanks Marine? If someone said that to me in person who didn't have at least two rockers, I'd...

There's no such thing as a Force Recon Battalion. They're a company sized element, and attached to the Recon Battalion that is attached to Division. They were attached to the MEF back in the day, but...

I'm quite certain he wasn't talking about drinking water

You'll be at one of the bases. There's no duty stations in North Dakota, aside from I&I, which you won't be able to get for quite some time. If you're really serious about her, why can't she go to...

The only reason snipers don't go to school is that they have weak leaders. No reason for them not to go. Doesn't cost the unit anything, and there's generally open seats.

I'm fairly certain Recon doesn't actively recruit non Infantry Marines. I guess their thought process would be if someone signs up as a Linguist, as an exaopmple, they probably aren't thinking about...

I guess my question would be why the Hell anyone would ever want to do that? If you go open contract, you could end up doing something you hate for four years. Is there a valid reason you're in such...

I don't know sh*t about 04's, but what I do know is they pick up fast as hell. I know a guy that works in an office by me, been in like 7 years, looks like a sh*t bird, timid as hell, and he's a damn...

There's what called the Recon Pipeline. They have a Marine in charge of getting them to their specialty schools, such as Airborne and Combat Diver. The unit can also get a Mobile Training Team for...

First off, good luck when you tell the guys over at Recon that you want to go FORCE right out of SOI. That should go over really well for you, considering that the 1st Force guys are drawn from...

Speak for yourself. I've never once thought about POG's and wished I was one of them because I had a long hump or a really hard day of training and wished I was in an office somewhere getting fat...

I know MARFORRES gets seats allocated for schools, so it wouldn't be out of the question to go, but since I'm active and they're totally seperate I really don't know how you'd go about attending...

Aviation mechanic doesn't really sound like it meets what you were looking for. How'd you come up with it?

6 months in the states and 6 months deployed? Definitely not. MAYBE as an 0211 a few years ago, but that is definitely not the norm. Deployments are seven months, and dwell time is at least about a...

That's interesting considering the policy set forth by the Secretery of the Navy states that you have to have no less than eight and no more than sixteen years (SECNAVINST 1412.9b). Maybe the Majors...

I was 24 when I enlisted. It can be tough, since you have people a lot younger than you who are half retarded trying to give you advice on life, when realistically you probably have more life...

Although I understand where lamanognr86 is coming from, Officer and Enlisted are two seperate worlds, and one doesn't necessarily prepare you for the other. I've had platoon commanders that were boot...

The above posts are basically correct, however not completely. The CO of the company really doesn't have much say in who gets seated and who does not. Lets say, for example I'm in 2/8 Golf Company....

Why bother with the reserves? I don't get it. Why not do the Platoon Leaders Class or NROTC or something while going to college and go the officer route. That way, you get your degree, you don't have...

Wait what? I've never been issued chevrons. In fact, I just bought some yesterday for a new bravo shirt. I'm going to go to supply and find out what they're doing with them all!

Whatever happens, make sure you don't go open contract. Very rarely does that work out how you'd like. To me, like the MSgt said, it would seem new boat spaces should open on 1 OCT. If nothing opens...

That sticky doesn't really answer the question. Things are changing in the Marine Corps. Gone are the days of reenlisting as a sh*t bird because no one's paying attention and your CO signs off on it...

To answer a one of your questions, SF Marines are looked down on because they come into the Company from PRP, ahving never deployed, or maybe a couple of worthless deployments to Bahrain, with no...

Pretty much the same now SSgt, with the exception of drill. VERY rare occasion these days. If we have a change of command at the 05 or above level the Sgt Maj will hold drill practice for like two...

From my experience AAVs suck, the EFV was never fielded/I believe it was discontinued, not much insight into Combat Engineers, and the Infantry invloves a lot of walking and waiting for word. From...
