Re: Marine Recall

The marine IRR recall is what is being made public. I've got a buddy in Army IRR (1.5 years left) and the recruiters were at his house the other day pretty much telling him "pack your ---- and be ready."

I only know of one person who works ATC, and he works on Kadena. Capt Owens though...that rings a bell for some reason. Ive seen that name somewhere...
I work at the group building back by the Armory. I don't work the flightline.

So I was right then. 06-Comm, 03- Grunts, 02, intel.....I didnt guess MP's though. Speaking of MP's, theres a gate guard on Kadena...a japaneese guard, shes SMOKIN!

I would be pissed had I gotten out and forced to come back in, but I think its kinda funny....almost all of my Marines in my old shop WANTED to go to Iraq. 95% begged me to go. "If you hear of anything, put me on the list"......and yet they report on the news "due to people not vol. to go, they have to do a recall"...thats horse ----. Marines dont join the Marine Corps to sit on their ***. 95% of Marines beg to deploy. You know that as well as I do.

Re: Marine Recall

I think that's a bunch of horse ----. My buddy was trying to enlist as a grunt (03 Infantry) and they wouldn't let him do it. The liaison at the MEPS told him that the program code UH has no openings for our state at this point in time and they'll have to look on the national level after he enlists open contract.

They told me the same ----, and they didn't want to give me a 06 Communications MOS. I was open contract until 2-3 weeks before I left for boot camp because they said there were no jobs available that I would want. Finally I got a 06 MOS, but they said they had to work hard to get it. What's even worse is that they ELS'd me out of boot camp after a week of being there because they found some ---- in my medical records that I didn't tell them about.

I think the recruiters and liaisons in my region must just suck and not know what the ---- is going on in the world or something.

That is what I was thinking.

Harder and longer training
no signing bonus
have to purchase some equipment yourself

There is a laundry list of reasons to not go to the Marines. If you are there...It is because you wanted to be.
