  4. The Mighty Sand Flea.

    For those of you who may not know, listen to this tale of a mighty foe. It lives in a place called Parris Island,"the land that GOD forgot, the sand is 14 inches deep and the sun is blazzing hot". It's so small and never seen, has a bite that's nasty and mean, it can even hide behind a hair, some claim its bite is mightier than a grizzly bear.

  8. What are my chances of getting deployed being a court reporter?

    Hi, I'm only a PFC going to school right now to be a court reporter on Newport Naval base. My recruiter gave me the impression that all marines do infantry type things, which i have found out is not true at all. What can i do to increase my chances of getting deployed once i get to the fleet (Hawaii). Is there any chance at all? And could i somehow get attached to a deploying unit upon request??? thank you.

  11. How Marines welcome a President

    It would seem the U.S. Marines know something that many of the civilian population do not.


    You've got to take 2 minutes to watch this comparison between George Bush's visit to the Marines vs. Obama's recent trip. It is incredible. There is word this will be removed from YouTube so go now. Pass it around quickly.

    Try to get this to people as it may not last long on YouTube, as Obama's people try

    to get it squashed.
