The Marines on this board are living treasures and we should treat them as such. We have Marines here that have fought battles from Iwo Jima to Iraq. Collectively, the knowledge they possess far surpasses any book or search engine you will ever come across. These men/women are the fabric of the Marine Corps they know it in and out. They come here willing to impart there wisdom on civilians, such as yourself, interested in becoming part of their beloved Corps, granted that they are treated with the respect they earned with their blood, sweat, and tears. If a Marine here gives you an answer you should take it as fact. On the rare occasion the Marine is mistaken, he/she will take it upon himself/herself to make the correction known. It would also be helpful, if you filled out your profile.
*******Do not say "Ooh-Rah" and "Semper Fi" you don't rate yet!*******
Marine is spelled with a capital M!!!!!
