US Marine Corps

Judith Templeton describes some of the wives reactions as being hysterical, while others appear to be freakishly calm considering the circumstances of the tragedy.

Supposedly he ( washed out) of the marines for being unable to swim under simulated combat conditions- doubtless a basic task for the Leathernecks, involving landing barges, etc. the Marine who could not swim- but floated out as Captain Kangaroo.

of course not, for Aston Merrygold has it.

While having a tattoo or brand does not automatically disqualify you from consideration, it does open the door for rejection based on a more subjective evaluation. Nonremovable piercings are not allowed and must be removed prior to admission. Air Force policy stipulates that tattoos or brands must not be excessive. Nor may they contain inflammatory, obscene, racist, sexist or similar content. Tattoos or brands that fall into any of these categories will cause you to be disqualified for admission. The Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board will notify the Admissions Office of any tattoos, brands or nonremovable piercings noted during your medical exam. We will then require that you provide us a color snapshot of each. Assuming your tattoo or brand falls within acceptable limits, you will be allowed to continue in the application process. You should keep the following in mind. Those who review the picture of your tattoo, brand or piercing are of an older generation and may not view body art in the same manner as you. So, if you don't already have a tattoo or brand, think long and hard about whether the risk of possibly losing out on an Academy appointment is worth it.

The motto of the US Marines, "Semper Fidelis" -- "Semper Fi" for short -- translates from the Latin as "Always faithful."

The Marine Gunnery Sergeant rank was adopted in 1898, according to http://www20.brinkster.com/gunnyg/gyhistory.html
Some consider it to have been Archibald Sommers who was the first Sergeant Major in the Marine Corp and received that rank on 1 January 1801. The first to hold the billet of Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps was Wilbur Bestwick from 23 May 1957 until 31 August 1959.

1. They had better leaderships

2. They received foreign aid.

3. They knew the land better than the British did.

4.They were more motivated.

That's well over 2 1/2 million names. Over 3 million names, if counting the men that served in nearby Thailand and bordering nations during the war (Thailand was one of the homes for the B-52 Bombers). Suggest starting by contacting the VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America); possibly they might be able to help.

You have to first join the marines and then work your way up the ranks by being a good marine, completing your duties, and showing that you have what it takes to be a leader. You have to stand out above others, a colonel is a pretty high rank.

It was LtCol. William W. Burrows (July 12, 1798--March 6, 1804)

In the Gospel of Matthew 27: 62-66 we are told that the chief priests and Pharisees asked Pilate (not Herod) to secure the tomb that Jesus was buried in. We are not given any names in the bible.

There is a variety of food eaten in the Marines nowadays. There are professional cooks employed to cook healthy meals for the marines, ranging from grains, to meats and vegetables.

Women entered the ranks of the Marine Corps for the first time in 1918, Opha Mae Johnson was the first Female Marine.

Alfred Masters was the first African American sworn into the Corps at 12:01 AM on 1st June 1942. This ocurred in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was 26 yrs. old. Born in Palestine, Texas on 05 Feb 1916.

Not a good idea, the military has a no fraternization rule between officers and enlisted. Fraternization falls under Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The actual offense can be more clearly defined by the individual services and by local unit and base regulations. It is not necessarily going to be punished, but it can be.

The Marine Corps is much less lenient on the charge, partially because of the smaller number of individuals involved.

Staff Sergeant, and the best of the Best. They know at that point in their career almost everything they will ever need to know as a Marine and most are still egar to learn more and to test themselves further. They have the wisdom of the ancients, the experience of a genuine professional and the passion and vigor of youth to sustain them.

You can be 17 years old but you won't be able to fight you will go into training over the summer if you are still in High School.

Non-Battle losses were higher on both sides. Over 60% of Confederate deaths were due to non-battle causes such as disease; Union non-battle losses were nearly 70%. It has been difficult to get accurate statistics for Civil War losses, because so many of the officers and clerks responsible for keeping track of those numbers were themselves casualties. Many estimates of Civil War mortality statistics do not vary significantly from each other. Here is a typical one: The Confederacy had at most 1.25 million combatants. Estimated deaths were 258,000 total with 94,000 battle losses and 164,000 non-battle losses. The Union had at most 2.75 million combatants. Estimated deaths were 360,000 total with 110,000 battle losses and 250,000 non-battle losses.

Supposedly a term used by Germans when describing the fighting spirit of the Marines they battled at Belleau Wood, France in June of 1918 during WWI. However this is the history taught by the Marines and may be nothing more than a legend.

was their in 1951 do not remember them

As far as we know, Sulla's death was caused by a rupture in his liver due to his lifelong habit of heavy drinking.

Since ancient times, marines were soldiers carried on warships for boarding. By the time of the American Revolution, British warships had Royal Marines for boarding, and for preventing mutinies, so the Continental Navy had them too. The Continental Marines became the United States Marines, and later they became corps-strength. Boarding actions are unlikely now, and mutinies are less of a possibility, but countries with navies still have marines for amphibious operations. The United States has the most (200,000).

In order to answer this, we need to differentiate between "threaten" and "endanger".

Unsurprisingly, there are many countries angry with us that present threats of some magnitude (albeit sometimes of a nearly insignificant magnitude). There are other countries that definitely have the resources to seriously endanger US National Security, but aren't, due to alliances, other threats that take up their time, etc.

Countries that harbor and train so-called terrorist groups are potentially threats, but the threat comes from the group itself; not the sovereign nation (usually). Some of these countries include Lebanon, Palestine, Syria. Libya, Morocco, Somalia, Angola (maybe), Venezuela, and quite a few others. This does NOT mean they represent a serious threat, however.

Of those countries that have the military and/or economic resources to endanger National Security, I would add Russia (we're on good terms now, so it's not likely, but Russia does have the arsenal), the Ukraine (ditto Russian), China (on good terms but capable of causing economic chaos if they wanted to), North and South Korea.

And many others. Countries that can cause difficult problems and regional threats might include North Korea and Iran at the head of the list.

13,095 U.S Marines were wounded in action during the Vietnam War.

Both the armed forces are meant for the security of the nation.
