I thought that, years ago, a "float" meant a Med Cruise (Mediterranean Cruise) with the Navy. But I'm not 100% positive.

PM people like Tennessee Top, Kegler300, and josephd, munkyvsrobot, LCPL1341.

a "float" is typically another word for a MEU(Marine Expeditionary Unit). a MEU is a mix of units that go out on ship with a Navy carrier group. Each MEU usually has a specific area of operation(e.g. Mediterranean, South Pacific, South America, etc..). Each MEU is typically comprised of units from a specific MEF/major base...1st MEF in Camp Pendleton, 2nd MEF in Lejeune, etc...

Thanks, Joe, did not know any of that--very interesting. So, OP, a float is not a duty station or a place.

To the OP. I know you are talking about my profile. You are such a jackwagon !!!
There was no other place on my profile to put it. Thought I would make it short and sweet.

Show some respect, " Marine Friend ".... Your threads are such nonsense, all of them. BTW nice profile. I think you need a timeout for good from here.

Have another doughnut. !!!!!
