That was a bad day. The RAMP ceremony for these Marines was done well.

I have seen it multiple times in Afghanistan. Usually zero candy for the Maj's and above. They run the administrative BS, without the "V". I've seen it awarded to the majority of the CO's running...

Only issue with helmet cams, some of the commands will not allow you to put them on, or attach them to any of your gear. Even having camers is sometimes a "no no", depending on where you are at and...

Just go to Best Buy. That chain store is everywhere nowdays. They have a helemet cam there that has lasted through a year deployment in Afghanistan without too much trouble. Unless you are taking...

With that logic, we should get rid of the Marine Corps Ball, high and tights, rifle quals for anyone but infantry (every Marine a rifleman?), physical fitness...please, just do the minimum and you'll...

I cannot speak to all of this, but as far as Marine's going into theatre with the RCO/ACOG...I have never seen any Marine without them on their weapon. I see them all day, every day, without fail. ...

Umm...that filter thing made my post sound sexually explicit. I find that disturbing.

I've always been wary when Marine's aren't *****ing. If they aren't *****ing, then there is something wrong. Secure that morale. Just sayin'.

If you are a reservist, and you already signed a contract, you are not going to be changing your contract unless you sign a new one. Passing the DLAB does not guarantee you the linguist job, though...

A tradition is nothing more than something that has been "passed down" from one generation to the next. I have heard the term "white sleeves", or "white side out" many...many times. Don't get me...

...is exactly what I thought when they took away spit-shining our boots. Never thought of it as a tradition, just thought of it as annoying. Looking back on it, I realize that it was one of those...

Indeed it is. I know only too well. I can see where the uniformity issue is, I just appreciate tradition and this is one more way to kill it. Marines foward and Marines in the rear will "look" the...

And leaving them down does? It's just one of those changes the Corps makes. It happens all the time. Anyone remember the brown shirts and changing them to the green? Remember the old jungle boots...

You need to take the DLAB (and pass with an appropriate score) in order to get into the crypto-linguist program. Period. At least out of boot...I am uncertain on the LAT move Marines that go that...

I have been to many the depot graduation. Go in your Alphas, that seems to be the trend. I have seen Marine's in chucks too, but as you say, you don't want to "be mistaken for a boot". You could...

PRP nothing more than the Personal Reliability Program. Look it up and you should get the info you need. UV and UW are the same "base" program, the difference is the clearance.

They decide based on what I already told you. You will know exactly where you are going before you even hit MCT, because you will know your MOS before you ever leave the Depot.

You will receive your MOS at the Depot's Special Screening Office about 3-5 weeks into your training. Your MOS will be based on the needs of the Corps at the time, your GT score, and the MSgt...

This is normal. Happened every month, or so. Only had it happen with kids going in with an MOS that required TS (though that doesn't mean it can't happen with Secret). Answer the questions. It...

If he is Intel, he was probably at the NSGLO office and they were telling him of the possablities in front of him. They may have been talking about an SSO billet. There are a lot of those lingering...

Did some time on the Nassau, Tortuga, Wasp and Austin. Shellbacked on the Austin on the 24th MEU. Good times.
