Questions relating to US Marine Corps; rank, awards, uniforms, career choices. I can also help people spot and expose fakes (people pretending to be Marines or have awards they didn`t earn).
Infantry Rifleman, MOS 0311: 3 years
Marine Barracks Security (Marine Barracks, Annapolis, Maryland(not Embassy Duty): 3 years
Parachutist: MOS 9962: Got my wings in August of 1984
Intelligence Specialist: MOS 0231 10 years working as an Intelligence Analyist

I was an Editorial writer for Marine Corps Times from 1998-2000.
Kosovo Campaign Medal w/1 star
Sea Service Deployment Ribbon with 4 stars.

Chris: You are correct, that wasn't 100 percent clear. There is always a 1 or 2 percent chance that someone can enlist. It's not my job to say "NEVER", unless someone is totally unqualified.
