I have SEVERAL very good friends who are Marines or ex-Marines. Most of them are ALOT smarter than they are given credit for. They all do have one thing in common... \nThey all think they are the best... AT EVERYTHING!! & They have little to NO respect for any other service or even fellow Marines who don't do the same job they do. I sit and talk to one of my best friends he & I are like brothers. BUT!!... He hates the Army and thinks anyone who served in the Army must have joined because they weren't able to handle the Marines. And the other branches rate even lower!!\n\noldarronxxx We ALL serve and do what we do at a moments notice & leave our family behind for 6, 12, or even 18 months at a time! Ohh... and That "Blanket of Freedom" isn't provided by just the Marines & they are NOT always the first in nor the last out!\nThats more of that "brainwashed" stuff everyone is talking about.

well, I see this from two perspectives-- I am a military man, and I have ALWAYS been faithful to my wife.  But I know that this is quite the exception....From my fellow Marines I know that quite the opposite is the norm. I was a military policeman, and I saw all the hanky-panky "my husband's on deployment"- and my uh, "cousin" is coming over- nonsense as I patrolled the housing areas.  Sadly, I must agree that MOST (Not all!) military men --And an equal number of Delta Whiskeys (dependent wives) are down with OPP- as we said "back in the day"

join the marines if you want to, nothing bad about that. realize, you will be put into harms way and at times it will suck, but at times it was worth it.

I have, I'm proud to say.  I served in the US Marine Corps.  I served with the 3rd Marine division in southeast Asia, as an ambulance driver. I also served with the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions, in Camp Pendelton and Camp Jejune respectively. Most of this duty was in the pre-Vietnam and early Vietnam era.

There are no people in the Marines.  Marines are not people.  They are expertly designed, finely honed killing machines.  They are not people... They are heroes.

It really is amazing how many people you find in the Army that are willing to go out of their way for you, I guess that is why `they joined up. It is one of the biggest things I miss about being in. And rizzo822002, thank you and keep your head down.

I have nothing but respect for all those who serve in our Armed Forces.  But the US Marines have a special place in my heart because my brother was a US Marine.  Although he died in Iraq, I feel that every Marine carries a piece of his spirit.

Your the same di ck head that said a Marine was crying saying he wanted out of the Marines because of the horrendous atrocities going on over there your still a lying sack of SHI T you never served you poser. I hope an NCO didnt do a proper brass and ammo check when they come back and a troop puts one in your a$$.

When I was younger, I had this image of military men of being jerks "with a girl in every port" and went out of my way to avoid them. I met my husband while waiting tables in a college town and thought he was a student at the university, and agreed to go out with him. Well, I soon learned that he was A United States Marine but he had my heart.I met his friends and realized that they were like much like every other man out there, there were some bad ones that proved my view of them to be true and some that proved me oh so wrong. It broke my heart to send my then boyfriend and later husband off on deployments, but, I will never forget how amazing it felt to have him return home to my arms. I gained a great deal of respect for the men and women in uniform as I watched their courage and sacrafices made for our country, and only wish that ill formed opinions like the one I used to have didn't cause them to miss out on happy, healthy and loving relationships. Although, my husband is now out of the service, I will always be proud to be the wife of a United States Marine.

I thought the USCG was military, I always admired the Coasties, hell after getting out of the Marine Corps I tried to go USCG...it has to be, because I was ineligble because I would lose one rank coming back in and I had to many dependants as well...either way, the USCG is awsome, those guys work hard for the USA.
