i enlisted in the marine corp about a year and a half ago, spent 3 weeks at paradise island and got kicked out because i have a little asthma problem, i was a sqaud leader and i kinda liked it, my 3 best friends are in the corp. too and they all wanna come home, one is recon now and hates it, im kinda glad im home but the point is they let me go, i didnt even get a chance to **** up, lol oorah!, semper fi! oh well, it was a valuable learning experience, everyone should spend a week at boot camp in my opinion, really makes you look at the world in a whole new perspective. props to any enlisted service man!

My cousin got fucked into being over there for 1 1/2 years almost. They kept pushing back the date, he was pissed. Then they lost the container that had all of his units personal belongings. He lost everything except what he had in a backpack. They said " We aren't sure what happened to it"

I know what happened to it. They left it at a port or depot somewhere.. What happenes it there are so many small entities tracking movement of cargo, the numbers get lost somewhere... When they can't find cargo (Or when someone has something they don't own) it gets "lost". Don't really know where it goes, but it gets written off per say..

USTRANSCOM just inherited the role of tracking movement of cargo from end to end to put an end to this lost cargo ****.. It's called Distribution Process Ownership. We watch it all now, from "factory to foxhole". Hopefully we can make a change.

I know how you feel... I lost lots of **** too....

Well sorry to hear about that. My brother just came back from the marines and he said the army isnt the best service to go into. I dont know if its the brainwash but the army alsways seems to get screwed over the most. There missions arent as planned and precise as other units. SO i dunno why they still have you there. Cant you talk to someone and see whats going on?
