I've tried 315 440-0110 and 315 449-1110... they both disconnect me after a couple of minutes. I'm calling from Afghanistan. Anyone else having this problem? It makes a weird sound before disconnecting. Any else have a problem and figure out a way to fix this?

They contribute the least of the 4 main branches.

What they do bring to the table can be done by the other branches. Ex: The Army did more island hopping in the Pacific than them and performed the histories largest Amphibious Assault.

They aren't the only ones that Guard US Embassaies....:

The Army has units capable of deploying in less time than the Marines.

Marines can deploy anywhere within 24 hrs.

The Army keeps a conventional brigade on standby 24/7 ready to have boots on ground anywhere in the world within 18hrs. Then the Army also has 90% of the Special Operations Community which can probably be there faster.

The only problem would really be having Army stationed on Navy ships to deploy from Sea... but that isn't necessary... You can airdrop tanks if needed as seen during the Gulf War.

The Army is usually the first to respond anyways...

-WW2 The Armys 25thID were among to first to engage the Japanese when they attaced Hawaii(they flew over the mountains located near Schofield Barracks in order to reach Pearl Harbor) Marines deployed 9 months later... The Army soon followed then fought in 2 Theatres of Operation.

-Vietnam: Army had advisors on ground long before Marines step foot there. Marines had the first actualy combat unit there, but Armys 1st Cav was the first US unit to engage the enemy.

-First into Afghanistan

-Led the way into Iraq... even during the 2nd taking of Fallujah(first was by the 82nd), it was an Army unit that became the Main effort. This 1st Marine Division picked a Marine regiment to lead the way. That Marine regiment picked an Army unit to be their main effort.

Heres a written account of how Fallujah happened by people who were there:

There's a LOT of the Army bailing the USMC out during that...

They're no longer needed.... Maybe keep One or two Divisions and one on reserve so that they can still be on ships... they no longer "defend" the navy ships.... The Navy has MA's for that. And what exactly would they be defending it from? If anyone was to attack they're gonna do so with missiles not SAF.

Just my .02 cents. if you have any comments please keep them factual based and not solely based off esprit de corps or USMC fanboyism...

...I deleted it from my phone, facebook, and my computer. Someone told me that it popped up yesterday and it has caused me some problems.

did a 7miler last wednesday and when i stopped running it began to hurt about 2-3 inches above my ankle on the inside of my left leg. It hurts when i walk and for a couple seconds if i try to run but once ive been running for a while it doesnt hurt anymore until i stop running and start walking... I've tried ice/compression and icy hot... itts gradually getting better but i wanna know what is this

I told her the Army didn't allow females to be Infantry. She can just join the USMC for that right cause EVERY Marines a rifleman?

People always say they're the first to fight. My question is, when? I can't think of one time they've been the first ANYWHERE...1st Barbary "War"... maybe... if you consider 9 marines fighting some pirates which did nothing cause we were back to paying taxes the next day, a "war".

2-27 Infantry Battalion was the 1st ground unit to engage the japanese in ww2.... and they aren't part of the Marine Corps... so I'm just wondering where this stuff comes from...

It plays in miro, but i'd like to add the songs to my ipod but its .flac

I downloaded a bunch of stuff, but only some of them work. Ex: I downloaded 'Ginger Snaps (2000) [1337x] By {NOIR}

but it only contains a file named 1335xOrg.txt and Noir.info

other movies have .srt files or .nfo. Only a few are .avi(which allows me to watch it)

how do I get them all to files that are watchable? Some are also .sub

Thanks in advance.

That's where I wanted to go, but they sent me to Hawaii.

I know i'll have to start over from scratch rank wise, but my end goal is to become commissioned in the Marine Corps. I'd like to be enlisted before I do that in the Corps as well. What's the quickest way to do this? Currently my PSG, and PL offered to try to get me into the Army's OCS program. I haven't given them a response yet. Would I be able to transfer from an Army Officer to a Corps Officer once my Army contract was completed?
