What is it like being a Navy corpsman attached to a Marine Corps unit?

Is it significantly different from just being a Marine?
Is it harder to adjust to the more physical focus of the Marine Corps Infantry?
Do they integrate fully into offensives, or must they stay back in case someone gets hurt?

it depends on what kind of doc you are. are you in shape? are you a hard charger? do you want to spend your days at the BAS or would you rather be with the Marines in the dirt.
some doc's even go Marine Regs which means you wear our uniforms not the Navy's.
bottom line is some doc's get respect, some get their d**k's run into the dirt.

In Washington, Vice President Joe Biden announced the Defense Department's plan to temporarily expand its Homeowner's Assistance Program (HAP) especially for its service members who were forced to sell their homes at a loss as a result of the country's housing crisis.

Vice President Biden recognizes "the sacrifices military families make for our country – in terms of deployments, but also moving several times in their career." "They often don't get to choose when they move and may be forced to sell their homes when they don't want to. The Department of Defense (DoD), with funds from the Recovery Act, is expanding its program to help its military families who have been forced to sell their homes at a loss," Biden adds. With $555 million devoted to the expanded Housing Assistance Program, this project aims to help service members who were forced to relocate due to base closures or usual assignment rotations.

Although wounded servicemen relocating for treatment or medical retirement, Military and Defense Department civilian employees affected by BRAC, and those who will have to relocate due to change of station are given priority, all active and former members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard, as well as DoD civilians who have sold a home since 2006 may also check their eligibility.

The Home Assistance Program provides assistance in four ways:

When and where is the 2008 Marine Corps Birthday going to be held in NYC, and how can I get invitations?

I live in NYC and I am a big fan of the USMC, because my twin brother is a Marine Corps veteran. I used to go with him, until he got transferred to NC.

Find another Marine to go with!

Women In The USMC

I spent 6 years in the United States Marine Corps and have to say it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. When I first told my parents about my decision they had mixed feelings, my father seemed happy but my mother had reservations.

I should say, perhaps some of that came from my mother being ex-Navy (Jarheads and Squids traditionally have friendly rivalry). I also think my mother thought the Marine Corps was too tough for a female to deal with.

The thing about my decision was really that I wanted to do something that not many tried to do, something that was more difficult.....something that would challenge me. When people found out that I was heading to boot-camp, I think many had an idea that I would fail and be home soon. I wish I had been told about what to expect, a guide or book telling me about all the things I was soon to discover.

People would say things like, "You won't get through training," or "Maybe you should look at the Air Force," or "What about college?" All in subtle ways to tell me they thought maybe I just couldn't make it as a Marine.

Well this is the truth; I was worried about my fitness. I was worried that I couldn't run, or couldn't handle the physical fitness. I was worried that I was simply not strong enough....I was worried that, even I had spent weeks preparing, I was still not in good shape. I went online to look for information before going, but it seemed limited about details of the boot camp, training and more.

These are the facts. You are never fit enough to think you can go to USMC boot-camp and get through training solely on what you have done to that point. So then you think what must you do to get fit enough?

The biggest problem for women is that traditionally we have been told not to extend ourselves to the extreme physical workouts. Not to lift weights. Not to take martial arts. Not go overboard in the gym.....in other words, not to train like men!

The problem with that is when you go to boot camp; there is no escape from the physical training. If you think you will be let off the hook simply because you are female....DON'T GO IN THE MARINES!!!!

This is no bullshit.....you will Suffer! You will want to CRY! You will want to hide away and try to slip off to medical. And do you know what will happen if you give the Drill Instructor a passing thought that you might be weak? That you might be unable to make the grade? They will break you. Break your spirit. You cannot let them!

I am not saying the DI's are monsters.....it is their job to get rid of those who come and are not the best candidates for the Marines. They are there to weed out the people who cannot qualify. Not everyone who goes to boot-camp will succeed. Some women fall out because they cannot adjust to the living situation, cannot adjust to being told what to do and when; cannot take direction; cannot advance through training. Some get sent back to do more training with another platoon; some are released from the military. If you fail the final fitness test chances are you will be let go.

Still it isn't just the fitness test; there are many other aspects of USMC boot camp that you need to be aware of. The inside tips and advice about what to expect in Marine Boot Camp, the USMC way of doing things, the words to know and how NOT to react to the pressure. Wouldn't it be nice if you could be prepared? To know about all the different experience you will face? What you will really face in USMC Boot Camp?

Before I went to boot-camp I could run 3 miles under 30 minutes, could do 65 sit-ups in one minute, could do 20 chin-ups and could do the bar hang for 3 minutes....which wasn't that good. I thought it was good enough. I got my butt kicked......I was exhausted after the first day of physical training. I spent extra time, when we have a free moment, doing more chins and hangs, more sit-ups and trying to make myself stronger. I remember wishing that I had spent some time lifting weights, or doing something more productive to get ready for boot-camp. I remember wishing someone had told me how things really were and what to really expect, but they didn't.

If you are thinking to join the USMC, trust me, don't let people bullshit you and say it is easy.....it isn't! Get in shape, follow a plan, and eat properly.

You will have very little sleep your first week or two, your body will be going through changes and adjusting to a new place and you will have many moments of total stress......add to that the fact that you will struggle with the physical side of things....and you will overload yourself with stress. If you could eliminate one aspect of that adjusting to make your transition a little easier wouldn't you do it?

USMC fitness tests are the most difficult physical tests in all of the military, you can ask anyone that.....it is common knowledge. It is common knowledge that the Marine Corps doesn't take just anyone, you have to earn your place....you have to earn the right to be called a Marine.....you have to do your time and carry your load.....so if you are a woman, thinking to go into the Marine Corps.....if you don't want succeed, don't want the honor of being called a Marine....then keep doing what you are doing....it makes no difference.....the Marine Corps only wants the best.

If you are a woman, wanting to be a Marine...then do something better, get yourself off the sofa and train....push yourself....become what you want.....Semper Fidelis!

What Does Communication Do in the United States Marine Corps?

Hi i am going into the marine corps and i wanted to be infantry or artillery but they gave me communications so can anyone tell me what they do is it just computers and stuff and do they have alot of people in communications in okinawa japan because thats where i want to go.
thanks

communication marines deal w several different types short range and long range radios you can possibly be tasked out with an artillery unit or a infantry unit to help them with their communication needs so you still have a chance to be with a grunt unit and yes about japan you can be stationed anywhere where there are marines.

I want to Make a lat Move From Marine Corp to Navy Corpsman?

I have been in the Marine Corp For about a Year and a Half and i already Have one Full tour done. I want to Make a lat Move To Navy corpsman and be a Corpsman for my company. I just want to know what kind of training i will have to go through and how long it is. And i want to stay in the reserves, does that mean i have to go to FMF school...

I don't think you can make a lateral move from one branch of service to another. You'' probably need to finish your USMC contract first then enlist with the Navy.

one the positive side you won't have to do boot camp again

Before you acquire an aquarium, try and gather all the data required in order to maintain healthy fish. If you are not just a common fish hobbyist who collects fish just for the sake of beautifying your house, then you might consider a marine tropical fish collection. If you already have one at home, then you are indeed lucky. Not many people are into having a marine tropical fish collection at home, because it is troublesome as compared to other types of fishes and even the common types of marine fish.

Why Are They So Hard To Maintain?
Many people find it hard due to the maintenance of the marine tropical fish. Unlike all the other types of fish, this kind of fish requires special attention and care, because they basically are not used to being confined into a small glass container, compared to their natural habitat, the vast sea.

It is indeed accepted that these fish are in fact very demanding compared to the other types; nonetheless they are much more beautiful compared to the common ones as well. One good thing about marine tropical fish is that they live long lives if taken care of. However, one also needs to factor in the cost of taking care of marine tropical fish as most of them are pretty expensive, and the maintenance cost is greater than other types.

But if you are willing to spend money on something that is very beautiful, then you can go ahead and buy a marine tropical fish collection, which is pretty rare. Usually, only highly experienced and wealthy people have it. For beginners, this type of fish is not usually encouraged, so that they should stick to tropical freshwater fish or goldfish first before moving onto marine tropical fish.

Another reason as to why the keeping of marine tropical fish is hard is due to the eating habit of the fish as well. The marine tropical fish, unlike even their closest cousins of common tropical fishes, have very specific feeding requirements. Some of the fish only feed on specific type of food, and nothing else. For example many species of coral reef Angelfish feed only on certain species of sponges.

But despite all the hardship, many people are still eyeing for a marine tropical fish in their home these days. Is it because they are uncommon, or is it for their beauty? Buy one today and judge for yourself.
