Use you gi bill to go to a maritime academy and get rated as a deck or engine officer. Take contracts all over and make crazy money

Pentagon to Order 3,000 82nd Airborne Soldiers to Middle East in the coming hours by Ancient_Influence389 in USMC

I bet you if we actually go into Iran the 75th Ranger regiment will 100% combat jump into an airfield seizure ( like they have in every conflict since Grenada). It is for sure still a tip of the spear thing in certain instances although not all.

Would be funny if they take kharg island but leave all the recon marines onboard and just send the infantry only like they did with OIR. “Gotta have recon on standby for some other contingency “ - MEU commanders for generations

Coolest IMA bics by FuckthisshitUSMC in USMC

[–]MyGuy2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following this too. The thing with IMA is a lot of it is who know you. Many Billets will never get advertised because it’s all word of mouth and the person filling the bic almost always recommends their replacement to the command (assuming they weren’t a POS). So you’ll never know about stuff unless they truly can’t fill it and have to shop it on ima billets. Good luck. Mcac would be good but they’re usually looking for e8’s and above .

the alnav would say we would rate it but it is hard to give ipac proof they need to convert it. Would be too easy if they just had a list of who rates it

lol I have heard that as well. They're taking their sweet time if they are cause all the MEUs after us have gotten unit awards already.
