USMC - When and where?
I've noticed that several users here have been or are still in the Marines. My questions are, when were you in, where were you stationed, and what did you do?
I was in fron 85-89. BC @ MCRD SanDiego, school at Ft. Belvoir, VA (alexandria), 3 yrs at Camp Lejeune, NC, 1 yr in Okinawa, Japan.
Fortunately, it was all peacetime service for me. I was a draftsman (drawing stuff) and surveyor (kind of a wuss job, but fun).

I would have stayed in but its hard to raise a family when you are gone more than home. (4 out of 6 yrs out of country).
After I got out I joined Army National Guard. I'm on active duty now. I stand guard at security checkpoint at local airport. (I LOVE IT)
