He told me, one wanted to meet Jennifer Aniston and one who has been a marine for 25 years asked for us citizenship. I didn’t think of it too seriously because I just wanted to be left alone with some morphine because I just had a bone graph.

Hello. I am a former US Marine. We are Soldiers. We are soldiers of the sea. We are not addressed as such but the fact remains true. We don't necessarily appreciate that fact either.

As a Marine I served with the US Army in the field on occasion. Right next to them. I could throw my MRE trash at them. As a Marine I have served on US Naval Vessels. As a Marine I have been transported and deployed by the USAF. So, while I would correct an observer who said I was a Soldier; they were partly (if not technically) correct.

Jarhead was the way to tell marines from other services. During my service, the Marine cap was like a jar versus others which were a ball cap style. Another great thing when marines move around base they march perfectly even by them self. They never spoke or broke formation. The extra 8 weeks of basic are incredible for discipline and parade. They basically get the full infantry school treatment and parade drilling. When I started basic training it was 8 weeks of training drills vs the marines 16 weeks. We had over half our starting company washout due to all kinds of stupid shit. What is true then maybe not today? Workout hard for a year before even thinking of talking to a recruiter. Don't get screwed either make sure you get and are prequalified for the MOS you will train to do, and make sure to do 2 years minimum. If you like tech, mechanics, outdoors, flying, something you can put on a resume or use in a tech or college degree. Save every dime and don't settle down when in the military get a vasectomy, as every base have young woman ready to lock you down then cheat when you're deployed.

Every piece of equipment (Tanks, Trucks, Artillery etc.) they have received as a hand me down, they have made improvements to and have adapted to their specific mission. The M60 tank is a classic example of that adaptation. During the Gulf war of 1991, the Marines used what others called an obsolete platform and made it work to great effect.
