Merry Christmas to one and all!

Thanks.

We must have all heard this one; If you failed out of your MOS school, you would be sent to the Grunts. I was wondering, if it's true. Would a Marine who failed an airwing course really be sent to a...

Thanks. I don't consider myself "Old Corps". I was in 1978-1981. Our comm guys were, as I recall 2512-wireman and field radio operator. Don't remember the exact MOS. But, in the Corps you are...

Thanks, CombatDevildog! You cleared this up for me. I requested and received my DD-214 and SRB. It has the 0300 Basic Infantry Man MOS and it's crossed out when I got to ITS. We called it ITS then. ...

Thanks, Apache. My final MOS was 0341 and 5711.

Thanks, this is a good answer. I meet a former Corpsman, who served at Parris Island in the mid 1980's. I never meet anyone who did 25 miles there. In the fleet, it's another matter.

I was there in '79. Right after us, 2/4 was in a very bad fire.

Looks like a good read. You men made the world a better place for all of us.
Semper Fi and God Bless!

Were the 1st Marines in the 2nd Marine Division in the Gulf War or any other time? I meet a guy, who says he was in the 1st Marines in the Gulf in '91.
Thanks,
Eric

Thanks. This guy may have had an attitude. I never got the real story. Needless to say, when I went it was "Club Med", when he went it was "Devil's Island."

Marines!
I knew a guy, who didn't make it through Boot Camp in 1974. He was able to get back in the Corps in 1978, and didn't make through Boot Camp then either. What is current Marine Corp's...

Good Old Saigon Sams. They go way back.

Thanks,

I keep trying to get a USMC gortex parka on Ebay. What do they cost on base at cash sales? I don't want to get took on ebay.
Thanks,

Marines!
I wanted to find Co1a from this website. I erased the messages.

A good movie. I wish it were longer. I would like to see something about the Montford Point Marines.

Zulu,
Try mcleague.com. The jacket looks like a long coat. It doesn't appear to be a digital pattern.

Marines!
In the current issue of "Semper Fi" is an article about snipers. There is a picture of Marines in training. They are wearing a different pattern of cammies. Does anyone recognize them?...
