No more sea duty?!?

[USMC 2571]

ahhhhh, I see now, Foxtrot Oscar---a lot of us were lumping all duty at sea with the old "sea duty" we once knew of....that explains it. Two different things.

[FoxtrotOscar]

Everything else has changed since I got out in 1967, why not sea duty

That's understandable USMC2571, since "YOU" have gotten out even the women have changed...

[USMC 2571]

I never saw ONE WM in my entire four years. Not one.

[USMC 2571]

Not even at a distance. Then come to find out on the Naval Security Base I was stationed at for my last 2 years out of the 4, the whole thing had been co-ed for years and years, but certainly not when I was in.

That's just 'cuz they heard about you beforehand, bro - there were special orders from the base CO to keep the women away from that old dog. If you'd found out about them, they would have had to double up the brig details!

[USMC 2571]

So they cleared the area in front of me??? Wow, they did a good job, never saw one WM....very effective screening job

No, women weren't allowed in the Corps until I think 1918, so you must have gotten out before then.

[USMC 2571]

I feel like that's the case.

Being in the FMF was considered Sea Duty for the Navy Corpsman and Religious program Specialist .Hows that and did it count as sea duty for you.

Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly

Or sit in the grandstand
When your team and others meet

Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy

In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the mother land
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man

Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

For I'm sure there will be
Always a good navy
Protecting the land and sea

Actually. After the Benghazi commission, the State Department has been increasing security at some diplomatic posts including the number and size of Marine Security Guard detachments. The MSG program is being expanded instead of downsized/disbanded. They just recently built a brand new schoolhouse at Quantico out by the FBI Academy.
