is it possible for a meu(soc), to secure a beachead, ALONE, being the landing force is only battalion sized...

That is one of the top capabilities of a Marine Expeditionary Unit. It is one of the reasons why the Marine Corps is structured as it is today. It is meant to be able to invade a hostile shoreline, secure a beachead and hold off enemy counterattacks until the main assault waves arrive.

This can be handled in many fashions.\n\nI would have to know your rank to get into the details.\n\nHowever I can tell you one way that will work\nreguardless of rank.  It is the safest way.\n\nRequest Mast.  You can bypass the First Sergeant because Request Mast offically runs the officers in your chain of command.  You can bypass the lower ranking officers, if you state your desire to do so in the request mast.  If you do this, make sure the problems you have with your First Sergeant are Not your Fault!!\n\nIf I can be of any other assistance, please let me know!\n\nMSGT Brinegar abrinegar@yahoo.com

I have seen people do it.  First go to the unit you want to go to and talk to them and you can make it happen and to gain another soldier that unit will have motivation to help you.\n\nIt may be harder now that units deploy allot but your old unit can not keep you in if you are "moving".

if you are moving onto base. I don't see why they wouldn't. My husband is an E3 but we don't live on base, it was our choice.

The Air Force could cover Marine movements but Marine pilots train right along with the ground pounders.  They have a unique perspective on the needs of their ground units.\n\nI am retired from the Air Force and think highly of the organization.  But we do ask a lot of our Marines and in giving it they want their own cover.  I'm willing to give it to them.

sorry i cant give my address already to many strangers got due to my picture flying through the internet. but try to find a friend that happens to be a soldier near by his AKO acct has acces to the information you request. Hopefully he/she is willing to help you. the army is a big place so unless you know what unit he went to its like finding a needle in a stack of needles.I used to see this all the time in Bragg, people would ask for their son/brother etc if we know them . And we keep telling them without their unit or MOS we cant narrow down anything due to our post being the size of a city.

If yes, what's your current address, phone number, and place employment?................  There's gotta be a law against military desertion. Otherwise, before any conflict there'd be a rush of servicemen leaving. Flipping a burger/pushing paper's different than being shot at.

Since you seem to be a sweet little girlie boy, you need the Navy. That way, you and 600 other sailors can go out to sea; when you and 300 other couples return, you can say the Navy filled your greatest desires.\n\nYou are not man enough for any fighting. You don't know anything about My Lai, mykrazytees. You are merely a red neck who likes to cross dress and roll play as Rock Hudson.

No such unit there that I saw. I am stationed there. Check out this link to the 88th RRC.

Just one, the marine will have an APO address, put it in the regular mail system, that of course assuming you are in the US.

Yes...It is called SPIE.  The army/Marines Spec Ops teams use it to rapidly remove 5 person teams from a hot area.  Also used to remove troops from a ship in certain instances.

You got that right... But the other units aren't NAVSOC...  although they do the same stuff...  Check out SWCC (the boat guys), or EOD (the bang guys), they do such special stuff the Navy just gave each thier own Rating!

The army doesnt have bases, they have posts. The nearest post is in GA. You might have armory there for the National Guard. You have MacDill AFB and PatrickAFB and a AFB in th panhandle.

First off GO NAVY!!\n Second the NAVY will be deploied anywhere in the world in a moments notice (Sea Air and Land) seams to have rang a bell.\nThe NAVY Spouce is without their otherhalf about 3/5 the time a person is assigned to a ship, or Det. There are support groupes at the bases to help when the spouce if deploied. If assistance is needed MWR and/or a Sister ship/Unit will have persons to assist.\nAnd Lastly GO NAVY!!!

I'm retired from the navy and divorced. An active duty single parent in a deploy-able status (sea duty) has to designate a caretaker for dependent children. There is allot more at stake though, there are dependent allowances related to food and housing which add up to a significant annual sum. I would get a lawyer and as for arbitration first.  As far as deployments there are laws to protect military personnel from legal action while deployed...use the JAG office get your questions answered. Do not be intimidated!!!

So, I guess you live in a hut and only own 1 set of clothing?\n\nAre you trying to make a point?\n\nBy the way, I'm planning on being buried in my uniform!
