Is there a list of Navy and Marine Corps Medal recipients?
I think first I will address your ability to spell. You may not be familiar with English, but one word that sounds the same can mean something entirely different from another. So, with that out of the way, "one" should be spelled won.
Second, the MOH, Medal of Honor is not a competition. There are no corpsman that won the medal of honor, we don't go jogging out onto the battlefield in effort to WIN anything except the damned war. So until you can learn these two simple, yet obviously difficult facts, I will not answer your question. Enjoy the day.

What do you do in Marine Boot Camp?
The toughest of all the branches, but not like "Full Metal Jacket" tough.
It's tough and humid and hot, but then you'll be prepared to take on anything. Good luck, Semper Fi and God bless!!!
Where do you go to Marine boot camp? It was EXACTLY like "Full Metal Jacket" tough during my time (1981). The movie IMO was the closest thing you can get to without actually going through it. Movie was fully detailed ---down to the black toilet seats in the head. Just be prepared to endure the hardest thing you ever did in your life. Maybe you will come out of Marine boot camp "Full Metal tough".
It is the SINGLE toughest thing you will ever, possibly, accomplish in your life. "Full Metal Jacket" is a dead on balls accurate depiction (with one exception...those ropes the actors are climbing do NOT..repeat DO NOT have knots in them..lol). Spent a record 319 days aboard the Island, (93-94) ran on a broken left leg for 10 days of BWT. USMC Boot Camp is DEFINITELY hard core. It's ALL mental, though. The physical part will come with a lot of hard work and sweat. The mental part is what you gotta work through. You hafta WANT IT. Semper Fi!
What is the process for signing up for the Marines?

A medical exam is also required and then there are several weeks of tests, physical exercise and discipline training that must be passed before one can properly become a recruit.
Is either of Romneys sons in the marine corps?
No, neither did. Mr. Obama was too young when the Vietnam war was going on, and by the time he was old enough to serve, he was a college student, and there was no more military draft. Mr. Romney was old enough to serve, but he chose not to do so; he got a deferment so that he could go to France as a Mormon missionary.

The Army has more manpower and a majority of the heavy equipment (tanks, APCs, etc.), while the Marines are primarily a light infantry force, but have the advantage of being more mobile and overall easier to deploy then the majority of the Army.DUH!
$450,000 is the worth of a US Marine because of all of the money the governmenrlt shovels out so each indivdual soldier has the training they withstand & the specialties they possess. Personal refence is a cousin and he told me that's what they told him Day 1 of boot camp.

Hells no! Just make sure the cork doesn't dry out otherwise the alcohol will evaporate. Sunlight may also discolor or cloud the tequila. Given the high alcohol content, tequila will not go bad from spoilage if kept sealed.

What time period was 1st Marine Expeditionary Force awarded the presidential unit citation?
President George W. Bush awarded the I Marine Expeditionary Force the Navy Presidential Unit Citation, the first awarded to a Marine unit since the Vietnam War.
"Navy Presidential Unit Citation was for extraordinary heroism and outstanding performance in action against enemy forces in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM from 21 March to 24 April 2003. During this period, I Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) (REIN) conducted the longest sequence of coordinated combined arms overland attacks in the history of the Marine Corps. From the border between Kuwait and Iraq, to the culmination of hostilities north of Baghdad, I MEF advanced nearly 800 kilometers under sustained and heavy combat. Utilizing the devastating combat power of organic aviation assets, coupled with the awesome power resident in the ground combat elements, and maintaining momentum through the herculean efforts of combat service support elements, I MEF destroyed nine Iraqi Divisions. This awesome display of combat power was accomplished while simultaneously freeing the Iraqi people from more than 30 years of oppression and reestablishing basic infrastructure in the country. During the 33 days of combat, to the transition to civil-military operations, I MEF sustained a tempo of operations never before seen on the modern battlefield, conducting four major river crossings, maintaining the initiative, and sustaining forces. The ferocity and duration of the campaign was made possible through the skills and determination of the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coalition Partners comprising I MEF at all levels, all echelons, and in all occupational fields. By their outstanding courage, aggressive fighting spirit, and untiring devotion to duty, the officers and enlisted personnel of I Marine Expeditionary Force (REIN) reflected great credit upon themselves and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.

How much money does a US Marine earn?
Well it all depends on what the rank is. First off I need to say it's not enough. I'm sure there has been some cost of living allowances since I got out in 97' but as an E5 / Sgt. married living off base with two children I was making about $23,000. This is certainly not what you'll get for living on base or if your not married. Being a Marine is certainly not about the money at this point. It's about serving the country, but with that being said all military personal are way under paid especially when there are football players making millions for throwing a ball. It depends on how long they have been in and what their rate (rank) is.

Why do illegal immigrants come to the US?
Many illegal immigrants come to America for freedom and oppurtunities. Not all countries are fair like the U.S. Many countries keep their citizens poor in order to control them.
AnswerThat is very true. On average, it costs about $15,000 to become a citizen of America, not counting all of the hidden fees and monthly fees and immigrant would have to pay after becoming a citizen. If people from other countries were never exposed to so much money, becoming a citizen would not be an option and the leaders of these countries would be able to keep them controlled.ANSWER
its a big country its easy to hide in it
