I will follow up on those suggestions JLTW. Also thinking about Ranger Bill's suggestion I am thinking about the option of going Infantry and trying to get over to the 75th. If I do this will I be a pariah when I start trying to bounce out of there for SFSA. As you said I will get some HUMINT experi...

Re: ,
He probably got mixed up from reading this thread. http://www.armyranger.com/bb/viewtopic.php?p=354838&highlight=casca#354838 My bad. I had a cousin in the legion that was killed at Dien Bien Phu and may have mixed up the battles. I was under the impression that the Marines also fought at Dien ...

Dan, We hijacked the thread. Here is the answer: Question 12: Would former Marines coming into the US Army are able to wear the US Army Combat Infantryman Badge? I know they receive a Combat Action Ribbon for such action and it would appear that they would be wearing two awards for the same action....

TX NG
I understand that Texas stood up an SF unit in the NG. What are the options for officers in this circumstance. I talked to a recruiter today and he had no f-ing clue what he was talking about. Told him I eventually want to go 18A and he didn't know what that was, asked him about MI or PSYOPS career ...

CIB
Gentleman, I have a curious question. I have checked around various places and can't get a consolidated answer. If I as a former Infantry Marine with a Combat Action Ribbon come into the Army do I rate: 1) a CIB instead of my CAR? If so do i have to choose or can i wear both? 2) will i be allowed to...

JLTW, I am looking at AD. We used to run convoy security up to Fallujah. At the time Charlie Company LAR had been split in two with our platoon going with the 11th MEU to mess Sadr's ass up in Najaf and the other two platoons went to Fallujah attached to the 13th MEU i think out of Okinawa. So the C...

Introduction
Gentlemen, First I would like to humbly apologize to KM Driver for not following correct procedure and for my response which in retrospect seems a bit more surly than I thought it did when I wrote it. Now for my particulars. I joined the Marine Corps in March of 2002. I earned the MOS of 0311 and 03...

Thank you
Dear LeoM, Thank you for enlightening me as to my error. I apologize for my error and will correct it immediately. I would also like to say that my response to KW Driver came off a bit more surly than I had intended, and for that I also apologize. You provided me with the guidance I needed and I app...

Dear KW Driver, With all do respect I was replying to my own post which was the one at the top, the one in which I did follow the guidelines and was my first post. The only thing I can think of that I left out of my introduction was that I am 25 years old. If my original post still does not fit your...

In addition
I understand that my post may hinge on violating the format of this forum but again, I am looking for info about how to make it happen from an admin standpoint. I am not asking questions about training per se. I just want to be armed appropriately when I sit down with the recruiter to discuss all th...

In Need of Knowledge
Gentlemen, Let me start by saying that I appreciate the valuable resource you offer here and I am hoping that I will get some straight talk from those that know. I served four years in the Marine Corps. [EDITED TO REMOVE PERS. INFORMATION] I deployed twice to combat in support of OIF I and II, first...
