US Marine Corps

That would be anyone's guess. There are only two nations with the capability to launch a missile that can reach the US are Russia and China, and only Russia could do more than hit the west coast.

There is also the philosophy of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) that was invented by American politics to consider. Not that the current president would be insane enough to commit to a nuclear response (that would potentially initiate nuclear holocaust), but the military response would border on genocidal.

Life for the crusaders was difficult. During the journey itself they often went without enough food, and water. It was also often a violent life. While there were short periods of peaceful times, there were more times when there was fighting. Loss of life in these battles was a constant threat.

You could be looking at anywhere from $500 up to over $2000 on the US civil market, depending on what type of rifle it is, specifically.

Yes you can.

'I have only a minor case of bipolar and they have me on the smallest dose they can put me on for bi-polar i only have it because of my mother has it i believe i would be fine if i had to stop but i was wonderin if this would allow me to join the marines. its the only thing that i have stoping me i have a great record and im in good shape its the only thing i believe i could succed at very well please tell me if i could possibly still be applicable

It's an acknowedgement of something seen or heard that's felt strongly about; used to agree with someone else's kick-ass statement, or proudly greet a Marine who's earned mad respect and admiration. It means, loosely, ''F#@K YEAH BABY!'' and shouldn't be openly used by anyone who doesn't konw the meaning of "Semper Fidelis" in their heart of hearts.

Oo-RAH!

From the DIAPHRAM, brothah!

Not a vertical foregrip. BATF takes the position that a vertical foregrip on a handgun shows that it's not really intended for 1-handed operation. Therefore it's not a handgun at all. It's an "AOW" meaning "any other weapon" and must be specially registered and taxed ahead of time under the National Firearms Act.

Not anymore. They used to be all made in the US.

The top ten sniper schools are Civilian Sniper School,SEAL SNIPERS Navy,Navy SEAL Sniper School,Army SEAL Sniper School,Airforce SEAL Sniper School and Sniper School.

Dress blue bravos is a Marine dress uniform. It is equivalent in use to a civilian's black suit and tie. For enlisted personnel, it consists of a white barracks cover; long sleeve, midnight blue coat with red trimming, a standing collar, and a white web belt on the outside of the coat with a gold buckle; ribbons on the left side of the chest (rifle and pistol badges optional unless where directed) ; white shirt; sky blue trousers with a tan web belt; black dress socks; and black shoes (women wear pumps in place of shoes, and may wear a skirt in place of slacks).

Officers are the same except the coat does not have red trim, the white belt is replaced with one that is midnight blue, and general grade officers have midnight blue trousers. Officers, SNCOs and NCOs wear a blood stripe down the outer seam of the trousers.

Many "illegal aliens" enter the US "legally" through the visitor or worker visa programs. However, many have no intention of returning to their native country when these temporary permits expire. Others enter "illegally" by crossing the US borders with Canada, Mexico, the Pacific coast, and the southeastern coasts in Florida and other states.

they are just different !!!

As Pete Scholey (ex Para Reg; 20 year SAS veteran; former SAS Squadron Sergeant Major) has noted:

"If the Parachute Regiment is the finest airborne infantry in the world - and it is - the Royal Marines are the best amphibious soldiers. This was the first time I'd really come across them, and I have to say I was impressed. They were smart, fit, keen and skilled, just like us."

- Pete Scholey, "The Joker", 1999/ 2000 paperback edition, page 34 (ISBN 0 233 99866 7)

High praise indeed from a former Para!

Truth is, each is outstanding, and they're actually very similar to one another in terms of general mentality, outlook, attitude etc - although, of course, few of either will readily admit it, and each pretends to despise the other!

Both the Parachute Regt and Royal Marines set and maintain extremely high standards; training is very hard, and they tend to produce notably self-reliant, determined and aggressive fighting men who consistently demonstrate initiative and flexibility in combat. Their records speak for themselves - there simply are no better light infantry on this good earth. There are plenty of units and formations elsewhere which might periodically match them for all round professionalism and capability, but none has consistently demonstrated the uniformity of military excellence and reliability in action (across the whole spectrum of warfighting and related military operations) of the British Royal Marines and Parachute Regt..They really are exceptional.

There are, however, a few noticeable differences between the two - not massively significant, and largely reflecting their different histories and primary roles. As part of the Naval Service, the Royal Marines do tend to be hygiene obsessed; it's not that Paras are dirty (although RMs will have you believe otherwise!), but rather that they tend to be pragmatic and functional in approach to such matters, whereas Marines have to adhere to Royal Navy standards, and Jack Tar does not like muddy boots on clean decks and gets very upset if sweaty "Bootnecks" clutter up the galley!

Paras tend to be the more overtly aggressive in manner (reflecting their primary role as "shock troops"), and the majority of Para Reg soldiers come from big city/ urban backgrounds. Many Marines are "country boys" (especially from SW England; Northern "border counties", and the Scottish Highlands and Islands), and it's probably true to say that the average Royal Marine has more formal education (eg much more likely to have a fist full of reasonable GCSEs) than the average Para Reg soldier. Although the majority of officers in both are these days university graduates, it's also probably more likely that a Para Reg officer will have a "working class" background, and you're certainly more likely to hear Para Reg officers with regional accents than is the case with RM officers. These are generalisations, and there are numerous exceptions either way, of course, but broadly I have found this to be the case.

Bottom line, in both, if you make the grade as potential officer/ soldier/ marine, no-one cares where you're from - performance and competence are all that matter. Royal Marines pride themselves on being "thinking soldiers" (although, of course, they're always MARINES!), and cultivate a calm, reasonable manner; Paras regard themselves as "disciplined meatheads", and often cultivate a menacing manner, especially towards outsiders. Para Reg soldiers are notoriously "stroppy", and as every Para Reg officer knows, can be hard to manage - they do not tolerate "bull*!?t", and will be quick to tell any officer exactly what they think. Marines are no less tolerant of nonsense, but generally will be more polite and subtle when voicing their opinions.

The Battle for Iwo Jima began on 19 February and was declared secured on 26 March of 1945.

Secured may have been a misnomer because at least two Japanese failed to surrender until 1951. It did accomplish its dubious assigned mission however which was to act as an emergency landing field for B-29s carrying atomic weapons into Japan. The strategic value of those two weapons was deemed as the primary reason to seize the island. It probably did save many USAAF planes and pilots and the first B-29 landed on Iwo Jima while the ground fighting was still in progress. An estimated 2,251 B-29s made emergency landings there.

It was an expensive price tag that was paid with 6,822 US Sailors and Marines killed and 19,127 wounded. Japan's losses included an estimated 18,000 killed in action and only 219 men captured.

If you are referring to the Marine Corps Service Alpha uniform then there are two different belts with different requirements.

The 1-1/4 inch wide cotton khaki web belt with buckle will be worn by all Marines with the utility uniform. Male Marines will wear the khaki web belt with service and blue dress trousers and it may be worn with the white dress trousers. The tip end of the web belt will pass through the buckle to the wearer's left and will extend from two to four inches beyond the buckle. The metal belt tip and the buckle will be kept highly polished. The buckle will be worn with the buckle tongue depressed into the buckle.

Belts for all men's service coats and male officers' blue coats must match the color and material of the uniform with which they are worn. The buckle will cover the bottom button of the coat. The belt's tapered end will pass through the buckle to the wearer's left and will extend from 2-3/4 inches to 3-3/4 inches beyond the buckle. The free end of the belt will be held in place by a cloth keeper 1/2 inch wide and may be fitted with a snap fastener to secure the belt point. Buckles will be kept highly polished.

There are 4 Indian Naval commands :-

Yes all Navy SEALS all male sorry. It is a all male group.All of the Special Forces teams are male only.

Ensignia will be worn single point up, centered on the outer half of each sleeve. Insignia will will be four inches below the shoulder seam (three inches for male First Sargeant/Master Sargeant and above). Service strip(s) will be placed on lower sleeve whereas the lower point of bottom stripe meets the point of piping.

The United States Marine Corps traces its institutional roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed by Captain Samuel Nicholas at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on 10 November 1775, to raise 2 battalions of Marines. That date is regarded and celebrated as the date of the Marine Corps' "birthday".

In Los Angeles, can easily earn 100k-200k with 2-3 mid-size projects a year. It's relatively lucrative compared to number of jobs done.

Navy SEAL training consists of the BUD/s (basic underwater demolition and SEAL), a physical screening test at the beginning and end of training, 2 weeks of regular training and a week called "Hell week"

yes!! you can join the marines if you are deaf in one ear,but since its a medical condition,you may need waivers

what CAN'T we do?! we've got pilots, infantry, people on ships, etc. you name it we've probably got it. We're the first ones into a combat zone and we're always the last out.

The Marines are the only branch of service that has the ability to dominate in the air, on land, and on the sea. You can fight or support combat roles in logistics. Look up Marine Corps MOS and you'll find a list of jobs

Absolutely not. It's covered under the fraternisation policy in Article 134, Paragraph 60, of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice.

It depends, if you are Marines then no. If you are in any other branch, you might be able to. If the officer you want to date is in your unit or whatever then no because that is fraternisation but if you two are in different units, you can.

There are approximately 5 Recon Marines active.
