I recently left the United States Marine Corps Reserve. I spent 6 years preparing for what I hoped would never happen: War. Recently, President Bush announced that the Miliary will be calling up some reserves. My unit will likely be one of those called up. I am ready and willing to go. I will give my life, if it will prevent just one more death, from terrorism, in this world. If there is an extended period of time where I do not reply to posts, talk to Marv, he will likely be your best source of info. For those of you that understand, I may not be able to make it to Denver. I have enjoyed my experience with the Guide over the last 1 1/2+ years and I thank everyone, in advance, for these experiences.

in the event you are activated, would you consider leaving an APO, (or whatever it is marines use) in order that we may snail mail you letters of support and care packages? if you would prefer not to make it public, you could email me by the link on my page.
best of luck
best of wishes
and
thank you in advance
for the duty you perform.

On September 15, 2001 I recieved a phone call from a prior service recruiter with he United States Marine Corps. I was given the option to rejoin my unit now, or e called to active duty later and e placed in a "Combat Replacement" company. My old unit is a Light Armored Recon unit. I have decided that I will be going to my old unit. I do not know when my unit will be deployed, but I have no doubt we will be.
