RIP to the '51s. We were a small group but we loved things that go boom. (We specialized in anti-armor weapons such as SMAW and Javelin and urban breaching)
Back in 2019 our unit started lat moving all 51's to 11's, tremendously helped having an extra guy in the team that needed little training since its only 4 man teams
When I walked into the USMC Recruitment office, I told the recruiter that I wanted to sneak behind enemy lines and sabotage stuff. He just stared at me for a few seconds and pretended I didn't just say something so stupid.
@@Mentalflashbang no literally your recruiter should have pulled out a recon contract lol that happened to my buddy almost exactly. He went to the recruiter saying something close to what you said and the recruiter pulled out a recon contract and said "then you want this" lol
@@John_on_the_mountaindidn’t happen . No such thing as a recon contract offered to new recruits lol . Even all these jobs in the video you find out which one of these jobs you get after a year of infantry school . And Marine recon is special forces . 😂
0351 RIP button. The MOS was known as "Assaultman". We specialized in things that went boom. Claymores, C4, breaching, sabatage, anti personnel/vehicle rocket launchers, the SMAW and the Javelin missle launcher. The difference between rockets and missiles is missiles are self guided and rockets you have to aim. The power we had: to out rock-paper-scissor a f'ing tank. I suppose CAS and drones is also why the USMC got rid of tanks all together. i had a combat shot with one in 2005 (at a building, not a tank). bronze star nomination
I had a secondary MOSs as a 5711/5769. And once I got some rank it became MUCH more enjoyable. After Desert Storm a bunch of us were put together in an ad-hoc unit to survey all the sites the Iraqi's had stored chemical weapon in for contamination.
I was in from ‘66 to ‘70, Vietnam in ‘67-‘68. In those days 0311 encompassed all jobs in the rifle squad, and every grunt could pick up any piece of gear and run with it. We were taking so many casualties with so few reinforcements that it had to be that way. Also, the typical squad was only around 9 or 10 snuffies, sometimes less. At times an entire rifle platoon was mostly PFCs and L/CPLs, with maybe four or five corporals and two Sergeants. But we definitely got by and made it work.
I am here because after 12 years as an 0311 with 6 deployments, I miss being a warfighter. I lost brothers in Nasiriyah, Phantom Fury, Helmand Providence, but that is what we do. To you ones looking into joining and becoming an 03, go and carry on the reputation that has made by Marine Grunts since 10 November 1775. The job fucking sucks sometimes, but remember, at least you aren't a fuckin POG.
@@CarlosAcosta-tn5fxwould hope so bc if I deployed 6 times with a 0kd I’d be mad. Thru sent me to a death trap 6 times and I couldn’t kill nobody after getting shot at so many times ??? PISSED😂
I hadn't realized the Marine corps had so many jobs in the infantry for us in the Army infantry we're only limited to 3 jobs 11B infantryman 11C indirect fire infantryman and 11A infantry officer. Very interersting indeed
Great video; super informative and held my attention the entire time! Really well done guys! Interested in seeing Army, Air Force, & Navy versions of this.
My first platoon commander was a former Marine Gunner. I say former because when I joined the Marine Corps, the MOS of Marine Gunner had been eliminated and he had been moved into a platoon commander position. He had fought in World War II in the invasions of Guam and Iwo Jima and at the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War. My MOS was just a regular 0311 and then 0369 when I made Staff Sergeant.
Non standard issue gear was common in my battalion (army) 10 years ago. As I was transitioning out, they started going back to everyone using the same equipment in cookie cutter fashion. I think that may have been rescinded by now. Those of us in weapons squads, especially we gunners, had even more freedom of choice due to a complete lack of standard gear being provided to us.
@@blakekenley1000 there's the suck of hard patrols and the suck of being treated like a child I don't think the infantry guys that are getting out or lat moving is from the tuff ops. I feel if they had freedoms some of the studs that leave would stay. Peace time grunts are miserable.
We usually had all the armies hand me downs, and the one thing I never understood was boonie covers, every devil in my battalion had one, but could we where them in the field or on an op, nope… scout snipers could but not us lol
@@michael2810 i doubt that is going to happen anytime soon. That doesn't make for pristine OERs and NCOERs. I left due to the micromanagement and careerist bullshit, which the army thrives on. It doesn't help that I was in 25th ID, where shit leaders are put to pasture. Most of the officers we had were more interested in chaptering out soldiers than they were anything else, apparently that makes you look like a beacon of discipline to field grades and such.
@@Wotan-Born wet weather gear was something I never got to use, even if it was pissing rain (Hawaii). Then there was the MOPP boots, just more stupid shit we were accountable for. Oh and the pup tents, I never even had mine out of the case i think. Flashbang pouch, I never used that. We didn't get the boonies in garrison until we were jungle qualifying, then it became mandatory to have in the field because you could camouflage it. A lot of times these decisions were being made as personal preferences of the senior leadership, I'm sure the Corps is not far off from that. I had a 1SG get on my case because I used a BDS assault vest and he just either didn't like me or the vest. He himself would use the chicom ak mag vest, which just served to confuse me even more. I still have the vest, whereas the flimsy FLC set I was issued likely would've disintegrated by now.
I love the, Doc had one saved my life. Love also the, U.S. Army Medic, had one save me again some years later. Then met him gain years later, he had his young children with him going into the grocery store. It was his truck that he was driving that got my attention. It was a Nice 4x4 with a lot of goodies on it. Saw the truck park, and as I moving through the parking lot about to leave store, I recognized him hen he stepped out of his truck. I yelled his name and we locked eyes. He was wondering who was calling his name. I thanked him again for saving my life, we shook hands and what a beautiful family he had. I was so glad to see him and his children. We said goodbye, then I drove off.
We received the MOS of 0301 once we graduate the Basic Officer Course. 0301 are provisional rifle platoon commanders. We become Infantry Officers once we graduate the Infantry Officer Course. If we graduate IOC, then we receive the MOS code of 0302.
It's crazy how many different jobs fall under the Army's 11B compared to the Corps. As a member of a battalion recon platoon we were trained in about 10 of these different MOS's. We had our own zodiacs, javelins and other toys. Although our boats were for crossing water inland, not out in the freaking open ocean. No thanks on that part.
Army does seem to prefer the jack of all trades approach. But, army being a much larger organization I think it makes things simpler when moving personnel around.
Keep in mind that a lot of these MOS are secondary. There are a lot of Marines with multiple Secondary MOS, making us the Swiss Army Knives. This is pretty much Corps wide, not only in the 03XX field. As a 3521 (diesel tech) I had several Secondary MOS both in the 35XX field, as well as other Oc Fields. I was also a Machine Gunner M240, as well as Training NCO and then Operations NCO. But along the way, we were also sent to CBRN school, as our BN Cmdr wanted at least 2 Marines in every platoon CBRN trained. So, with a lot of rotations/transfers, I was sending Marines to as many classes as possible. We would do a lot of other types of cross training, as in the late 90's and early 2000's, there were a lot less Enlisted Marines, but the mission tempo stayed the same. We had a lot of FAST Marines as well in and out of our BN, mainly our Company, since our CO was a Mustang and absolutely loved being involved in anything that was "HI Speed, Low Drag", and kept us on our toes, instead of covered in oil and grease. And then there are those of us that do a Lat Move into a completely different MOS all together and perform as much dedicated cross training into our new/next MOS as possible before even transferring over. The Marine Corps is the smallest branch, yet we do more than most, because we have a lot of training and flexibility.
I graduated basic in the mid-1980's, and was assigned an 0300 MOS (infantry). After arriving at ITS (Infantry Training School) at Camp Pendleton, we were asked to select from the 0311, 0331, 0341 or 0351 occupations. While we were deciding this, several slots opened up for 0313 (LAV-crewman). After completing my ITS training, I was assigned an 0311 designation, but several schools had immediate openings, so my MOS changed to an 8151 (Marine Security Guard), where I attended Sea School and became a Sea Duty Marine.
Back when i was young and still had military aspirations I always wanted to do the boat insertions, so I guess Coxwain would be the job I liked. One aspect of the Marines I always loved was its core mission to take land targets and gain control of facilities by coastal insertion.
Agreed Sgt Wolf.... Was both 0341 and 8411 (recruiter), most infantry were the kids that scored well on ASVAB. Most also think that it is poor, ethnic types, which is also incorrect. Not saying everyone choosing infantry are a high scorer, saying most are. Not saying all aren't ethnic but saying most are not. This can also be seen reflected in the fleet. I just didn't notice until after 3yrs recruiting.
As a Field Radio Operator, I saw every part of the Marine Corps in 1970s. I can attest that no matter what the primary MoS of a Marine, when need arises they instantly become an 0311.
I was a 2531/2533 radio operator. But, I would have liked to apply for Marine Raiders. Radio was one of the jobs that operates alongside all the infantry MOS's and more.
When I was in, the only ones in the Infantry were 0311, 0331, 0341 & 0351. Recon Marines were selected out of ITS but they never were in an Infantry regiment, unless they left the unit and went into Recon. You must graduate ITS to go Recon. Now they call ITS, SOI.
0311 here! Was in from 95 to 99 gear sucked! Except the sleeping bag system and poncho liner. The bivi bag for the sleeping bag only could hold 5000 gallons of poring rain before you ended up getting soaked.
You forgot to mention the 0312 Marine Corps River Assault Craft Crewman from Small Craft Company, most Marines never even heard of these guys, but I recall running into a few during the end stages of the Battle of Haditha. I believe the unit was deactivated back in the early 2000’s and the Corps completely scrubbed the MOS all together.
Marine Corps is trying to resurrect this MOS and remodel it as a support element for Recon under maritime raid force. the struggle is that procurement of the Naval Special Warfare Rigid Inflatable Boats has come from the NSW SWCC Dermo lot.
@@HanzBergman Spoken like a true low-life loser. Put down the crack pipe son; following active duty, I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas and have been working as an aerospace engineer for thirty years. The Leadership, discipline, dedication to duty, and attention to detail I learned in the US Marines will be with me all my life. Loser.
Infantry and those in support of. We infantry bubbas can talk a lot of shit about pogs but pogs keep the machine oiled and the more you have around the better your life will be. Respect. Rah.
@@kennethadams8021 yeah but I should be old friends with the kids of the men who he served with. I have an old picture of him and his squad all piled up on a Harley right on the middle of bombed out village, all my life I've wondered if any of the other mens family have seen this picture
The Marines are a Corps. within a broader fighting force. The Corps. concept was implemented by Gen. Napoleon. That concept gives commanders the availability of maneuver absent orders. Basically to plug in gaps when they are identified or realized. Although small, but highly mobile in nature. The greater view is the Army. Large groups that are commanded to establish strongholds in the area of opportunity. Marines bring with them their own air/ground support, including battlefield intel.
I was told during the ITB split that if I went 0313, I wouldn't need to hike anymore. We indeed still hiked a lot to simulate scenarios if our vehicles went down. ;c
Bro when I was at MEPS this kid was trying to go infantry just to become a scout sniper after he could choose a secondary MOS. He’s in for a bad awakening
As a 17yo considering joinin the USMC, this helped me so much. I appreciate you. I want to be a recon sniper marine (0327), if not, I want to be a recon parachute and diver qualified marine (0326) I would love recommendations, advice, and stories. Rah.
One things I loved about not being a POG was that the Grunts were a much tighter community but being a ‘31 was like being a God among mortals. No one fucked with Guns.
Because they're idiots. Once the next big war starts, you'll see them change their tune. But they still have scouts and I think they're going to create recon sniper as an MOS so hopefully the knowledge and traditions can be brought back quickly after top brass realizes their foolishness. Honestly, from what I've read, officers have never used scout snipers effectively. They just treat them like regular 0311s.
@@gussampson5029 marine officers have no clue how to implement scout snipers or recondos. because of this most recon marines are treated like a regular riflemen platoon.
@@deadonmerc9383 ok some websites say they do airborne supply and some say riggers, which is why i asked to clear up confusion and learn more about them because i was thinking of actually doing that if i join the marine corps
wait nvm i just looked it up they do both they rig the parachutes to airborne drop the supplies and also send them to pilots and whoever else needs them

Every single one of the 03 series marines, and yes even MARSOC is to support and give the 0311 the best advantage on the battlefield. In fact the entire military is to support the 0311 marine infantryman and the 11B army infantryman. SEMPER FI
devil doc's are the best make note tho my buddy was a 0311 but also boat driver. us 0341 also had TRAP option. but only the 81mm crews and then only the selected (Tactacial Rescue Of Air Personal )
I knew I was an 0311 (rifleman) and 0369 (platoon sergeant) when I was in. But didn't realize until I saw this video I was also an 0365 (squad leader). Newer MOS? (That didn't exist in the 70's?)
0341 Trained on 60 and 81mm Mortars at then, I.T.S. Camp San Onofre. Lost Marine Barracks due to a fight and NJP in Boot camp ! As a result was headed to Okinawa, but then no, as they were returning control back to the Japanese, or some horse shit, and were going to leave Okinawa ! Again, never happened !

I know im late but sorry Can you talk about carrier strike group formations. Like how many of what boats and why certan formations are used for what situation. Mabey try cover every country or at least the main ones with carrirers
A common misconception in the marine corps is that the M240 is an 0352s T/O weapon system/ primary weapon. This is false there is no mention of it in any publication or T&R manual.

Back when i was young and still had military aspirations I always wanted to do the boat insertions, so I guess Coxwain would be the job I liked. One aspect of the Marines I always loved was its core mission to take land targets and gain control of facilities by coastal insertion.
I think my personal favorite role is 0352 Anti-Tank Missile Gunner.
Glad to hear 😎
As a “scout” or Reconnaissance Specialist (19D) in the US ARMY I would consider something similar. 🇺🇸👍🏼👏🏼
Just signed my contract yesterday. I’m being shipped in 4 days, HOORAH
Good luck!
If you are not Infantry, you are support.
Scored higher in aptitude test ya mean
@@benwarner9899 A lot of people score high on the ASVAB and can pick any MOS but still pick infantry, myself included.
Agreed Sgt Wolf.... Was both 0341 and 8411 (recruiter), most infantry were the kids that scored well on ASVAB. Most also think that it is poor, ethnic types, which is also incorrect. Not saying everyone choosing infantry are a high scorer, saying most are. Not saying all aren't ethnic but saying most are not. This can also be seen reflected in the fleet. I just didn't notice until after 3yrs recruiting.
As a Field Radio Operator, I saw every part of the Marine Corps in 1970s. I can attest that no matter what the primary MoS of a Marine, when need arises they instantly become an 0311.
I’m in the schoolhouse for the job now, I wouldn’t want it any other way
I was a 2531/2533 radio operator. But, I would have liked to apply for Marine Raiders.
Radio was one of the jobs that operates alongside all the infantry MOS's and more.
honorable mention, shout out to the 51's assaultmen that carried the smaw back in my day
When I was in, the only ones in the Infantry were 0311, 0331, 0341 & 0351. Recon Marines were selected out of ITS but they never were in an Infantry regiment, unless they left the unit and went into Recon. You must graduate ITS to go Recon. Now they call ITS, SOI.
Yep 1986.
0311 here! Was in from 95 to 99 gear sucked! Except the sleeping bag system and poncho liner. The bivi bag for the sleeping bag only could hold 5000 gallons of poring rain before you ended up getting soaked.
0311 68 to 74. You think you gear was crap you had it really good compared to RVN.
@@fredrickmillstead2804 true....and you had it better than service members 30 yrs before you. Just saying.
@@arowe231 understood, best thing that improved over time is medical care.
I was an 0341 from 1979-83, I served with 3/9, 2/4, and 3/7 “ You Order We Mortar !” Semper Fi 🇺🇸
You forgot to mention the 0312 Marine Corps River Assault Craft Crewman from Small Craft Company, most Marines never even heard of these guys, but I recall running into a few during the end stages of the Battle of Haditha. I believe the unit was deactivated back in the early 2000’s and the Corps completely scrubbed the MOS all together.
CAST THEM ASUNDER...
EL ZOOI HASHEM BARUCH HASHEM ADONAI BARUCH RUACH NESHAMAH OH VEY OBEY OH VEY EL ZOOI HOOWAY...
Seems that might be useful. What was it eliminated?
Were they replaced by the USN’s Riverine squadrons or do those serve a different purpose?
@@Kishanth.J navy river rats serve a different purpose; and i heard there funding has not kept up.
Marine Corps is trying to resurrect this MOS and remodel it as a support element for Recon under maritime raid force. the struggle is that procurement of the Naval Special Warfare Rigid Inflatable Boats has come from the NSW SWCC Dermo lot.
the bursting bomb is actually the symbol of the grenadier unit, used a lot like in the napoleonic wars
My instructor for drill nationals was a Gunner, their a real cool person.
Even the cooks are rifleman first. A badass cook
Yeah,that's one of the many things I LOVE about the Marine Corp,they're infantryman first,mos second. SEMPER-FI
@@powerbadpowerbadas are all armed forces
They cook a mean burger
You didn't list Assault Buffer Operator, Brass Polishing Technician, Permanent Messman, Sandbag Recovery Team, Rock Painter and Whiskey Locker NCO.
Cigarette butt picker upper...
Now you gotta do army infantry
Thanks for the inclusion guys! I'm that Corpsman behind the desk at 10:10 mark. That was taken during a training exercise
My US Marine MOS was 03-1100 Rifleman. 1973 - 1979. My jobs were Fireteam Rifleman, Automatic Rifleman, Fireteam Leader, and Squad Leader.
& of what use is that to you today? Nothing. 😄😆
@@HanzBergman Spoken like a true low-life loser. Put down the crack pipe son; following active duty, I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas and have been working as an aerospace engineer for thirty years. The Leadership, discipline, dedication to duty, and attention to detail I learned in the US Marines will be with me all my life. Loser.
Do a video about the different schools in the Marines, like sapper school or recon lider school.
Fun fact I went to MCRD San Diego in 2021 for bootcamp. I was gonna be ground ordnance repair 👨🏽🔧 Semper Fi!
Got let go due to medical reasons tho. Kinda ruined my confidence for a while
@@NnovadSemper Fi! Still a Marine!
Humped the 'Blooper' in the Arizona. Marine Corps Vet "Grunt"

Infantry and those in support of. We infantry bubbas can talk a lot of shit about pogs but pogs keep the machine oiled and the more you have around the better your life will be. Respect.
Rah.
It's something how many guys hate it after awhile then when they get out they use every emblem imaginable on their foreign truck
No stickers or I love me walls here. I have my NCO sword put away in the back of my closet and that's it. Never understood the sticker thing.
@@kennethadams8021 my Pop got 4 bronze stars serving in Europe WWII, never told anybody
@@gumecindogarcia1070 that's flipping awesome!
@@kennethadams8021 yeah but I should be old friends with the kids of the men who he served with. I have an old picture of him and his squad all piled up on a Harley right on the middle of bombed out village, all my life I've wondered if any of the other mens family have seen this picture
Glad docs was put on good shit they need more recognition as grunts
The Marines are a Corps. within a broader fighting force. The Corps. concept was implemented by Gen. Napoleon. That concept gives commanders the availability of maneuver absent orders. Basically to plug in gaps when they are identified or realized. Although small, but highly mobile in nature. The greater view is the Army. Large groups that are commanded to establish strongholds in the area of opportunity. Marines bring with them their own air/ground support, including battlefield intel.
I was told during the ITB split that if I went 0313, I wouldn't need to hike anymore. We indeed still hiked a lot to simulate scenarios if our vehicles went down. ;c
Could you do a video of Air Force special operations in the Guard?
Nice video, from Germany 🇩🇪👍🏻
Bro when I was at MEPS this kid was trying to go infantry just to become a scout sniper after he could choose a secondary MOS. He’s in for a bad awakening
That’s my old roomate Mike Singletary in the middle of that zodiac pic at 07:34. I had a dental appointment and missed that training day.
I was a 52 but i never fired a tow missile or a javelin and just become a dismount/machine gunner in Afghanistan in 2010 lol.
I was an 11 and a 16.. boat company!!! Raider!
In memory of 0351….
I’m here for information and boy do you give it well
You forgot to mention that the 0341's are the kings of hiding and sliding and when found are usually in the middle of a spades tournament.
As a 17yo considering joinin the USMC, this helped me so much. I appreciate you.
I want to be a recon sniper marine (0327), if not, I want to be a recon parachute and diver qualified marine (0326)
I would love recommendations, advice, and stories. Rah.
I love those guys!
Hopefully next year when I join, I go 0313. Thank you for this video!
Hopefully next year there won't be a war going on.
Has General Discharge ever served in the military or is he just an enthusiast?
I think he was a recon marine
Most of the 03 community can become JFOs, I think 8002 (JTAC) is only for 0861s (Fire Support Marines)
0370 was sick! Also could you make a USN version of this?
Trucking along?
Good ol 35xx's motor tuh!
You should do one on the Air Force.
One things I loved about not being a POG was that the Grunts were a much tighter community but being a ‘31 was like being a God among mortals. No one fucked with Guns.
even us 41s took care of out 31s cause they had the M60/240 and ammo to drag
40mm used by the 31's is not a "heavy machine gun"
It's a full auto grenade launcher (Mk19)
and its used by heavy guns platoon. Although its a GMG
7:37 light weight lol until you run the beach with on your shoulders. I recall fond memories training with this at Coronado.
Great video but you left out the 0351s. Best job I ever had..........SMAW up!
Thanks, but unfortunately they're not an MOS anymore!
Why did the Corp do away with Scout Snipers?!😮
Because they're idiots. Once the next big war starts, you'll see them change their tune.
But they still have scouts and I think they're going to create recon sniper as an MOS so hopefully the knowledge and traditions can be brought back quickly after top brass realizes their foolishness.
Honestly, from what I've read, officers have never used scout snipers effectively. They just treat them like regular 0311s.
@@gussampson5029 marine officers have no clue how to implement scout snipers or recondos. because of this most recon marines are treated like a regular riflemen platoon.
Do a video on the US Army Psyop Tactical Team
Good video, being retired Army I remember when the 11 series had multiple specialties prior to being consolidated a few years ago.
Could you guys do an episode on the MOS 0511?
Y’all should do the Arty next
My buddy was a corpsman for the light armor recon. He was bad ass and shit hot
I was an 0311 A. Co. 1st. Bn 5th Marines E. Co. 2nd Bn 5 Marines ✊🏾
Our m47 dragon sucked lol..but i still loved being a 0351!!
Vintage 0351's watching this like 🥺😭
and the poor old tankers too...
As a former Marine cook we're called 3381 not 88 unless things change after i left, i know Gen Burger was trying to get rid of us last i checked
going to soi soon. basic 03 atm. I get my assigned specialty after soi
I wanted to join for infantry. My wife convinced me to go POG.
I do love the infantry training PoGs get but it isn't enough in my opinion
Could you do a video about MOS 0451, Airborne Supply Marines and the officer version of it? Day 1 of asking
Those are Marine Riggers my friend. The best hidden MOS out there.
@@deadonmerc9383 ok some websites say they do airborne supply and some say riggers, which is why i asked to clear up confusion and learn more about them because i was thinking of actually doing that if i join the marine corps
wait nvm i just looked it up they do both they rig the parachutes to airborne drop the supplies and also send them to pilots and whoever else needs them
I’m currently working with marines to train me for boot my mos will be 0311 infantry rifleman I’m getting close to be with my future brothers in arms
Iam Marine, from 1980/2002 SSGT Barnes, Marine barracks 8& I, then camp Juneau north Carolina was 2/6 then 2/8, after A Marine Cadere,@ u.s NavFac Brady Wales,then 7 the Marines 29 Plam SSGT, Barnes
Should say that I'm the 0313 listing you can be a 0341 or 0352 due to the capability of the vehicles. 86 through 90, 0313/0341 1st LAR
Every single one of the 03 series marines, and yes even MARSOC is to support and give the 0311 the best advantage on the battlefield. In fact the entire military is to support the 0311 marine infantryman and the 11B army infantryman. SEMPER FI
devil doc's are the best make note tho my buddy was a 0311 but also boat driver. us 0341 also had TRAP option. but only the 81mm crews and then only the selected (Tactacial Rescue Of Air Personal )
0331, 0341, and 0352 sound quite nice
I think they do t even think we're real people
I knew I was an 0311 (rifleman) and 0369 (platoon sergeant) when I was in. But didn't realize until I saw this video I was also an 0365 (squad leader). Newer MOS? (That didn't exist in the 70's?)
0341 Trained on 60 and 81mm Mortars at then, I.T.S. Camp San Onofre.
Lost Marine Barracks due to a fight and NJP in Boot camp !
As a result was headed to Okinawa, but then no, as they were returning control back to the Japanese, or some horse shit, and were going to leave Okinawa !
Again, never happened !
Finally got to hump 81's over the Hills and Valleys of Pendleton for 3 years !
We were shit hot !
Division champs for Two of those years, of which I was a squad leader !
Rank was froze nearly the entire time I served !
Went for Commanding Officers meritorious mass the very day I was checking out !
Was up for Corporal !
That was 46 years ago !
Man does time fly !

I know im late but sorry
Can you talk about carrier strike group formations.
Like how many of what boats and why certan formations are used for what situation.
Mabey try cover every country or at least the main ones with carrirers
What's the difference between the reserves and the national guard?
A common misconception in the marine corps is that the M240 is an 0352s T/O weapon system/ primary weapon. This is false there is no mention of it in any publication or T&R manual.
As your least favorite corpsman turned professional shank craftsman, don't forget to drink your water and change your socks, devil dawgz.
