While I absolutely love being a Marine I sometimes get jealous of all the places (OCONUS) that members of the other services can be stationed. Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey, England while we get Japan. Granted we do have MSG and MarForEur but those billets are hard to come by for the majority of folks.

So, if these words mean anything to you, you might be a Marine: "East coast, West coast, or Overseas?" ...and by overseas I mean Okinawa! :)

Well, Marines are never mistaken for bus drivers! I've always loved that Marine Emblem ever since watching "The Duke" in all those WW2 war movies.

I spent all my time in the Marines in the Pacific region. After doing a WestPac my first deployment, i never had the desire to visit any European countries.

I am mostly glad I had a chance to see as much of the world as I did.
