Marine Corps base in Germany?

[TLar]

I know that there is a Marine Corps base in Germany (MARFOREUR), but I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. As in, what mos's are stationed there, how to get stationed there, is it a good duty station?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

While I was stationed in Britain my admin support came from Stuttgart(sp). It's a general officer command so there will be a full detachment of admin, legal, supply, and maybe some MT types. The Marines that came over to visit me really enjoyed their time there and I have several friends that spent time with the army SF, and they enjoyed it as well. I would say that if you have the opportunity, jump on it. Very few Marines get to go.

I was an MP in Germany for a year after I got out of the Corps, started college, joined the guard, and got called up.

When I was there, the Marine HQ was in Stuttgart. It is an Army base (actually a lot of smaller bases in the same area, called kasernes), so your cops are army MPs, firemen are army employees, the schools are DODDS, and chow halls are army, you shop at AFFES, the housing is army....

In other words, you live better than in the Corps, but not half as good as the air force.

When I was there the clubs were 'community' which means the enlisted can use any of them, so they all are okay. Only a fool uses them at night unless something really fun is going on, though. There is just too many good places to go out for a nice meal or great beers.

Most of the Marines were HQ types, staff officers, high ranking SNCOs in HQ jobs, and some admin types. They had a sub unit in Norway to look after the gear, I don't know if that is still there.

I've been here 2 years and have yet to see a Lcpl. There is a MarDet on Panzer and another on Kelly. The MSgt that lives across the road from me is supply and the gunny that coaches my sons football team is intel. The master guns on panzer is an 03 so I don't know the ryme or reason what MOS's get stationed here. I've met a couple of Marines here that are reservists here on ADSW orders. Most of the Marines I've encountered here are senior staff or officers. There is also a MarDet in Paris. I don't know if they are MSG's or what. I would say there is a relatively small number of Marines here so the odds are against you to get stationed here.
