i am 18 years old
i am intrested in joining the marine corps infantry division
I served in the 9th District for many years, and retired from RS Des Moines. Iwas the RI for 4 years when it was RS Rock Island, I also filled every billet with SUPERLATIVE success. My question is why have I never been invited to a Marines Corps Ball? Col. Dave Goulet, former Commanding Officer of the 1st Marine Corps District has invited me to his. I live in the “TAOR” of Rs Des Moines. I served the District very proud and well. If you can tell me I would appreciate it. Semper Fi Timothy D Waynick/Msgt/USMC
I’m interested in learning about the 9th Marine Corps District as a unit – the unit’s history/awards, etc. What can you tell me?
My son, who desires to be a third generation Marine, has attempted to make contact with recruiters out of both RSS Dixon, IL and RSS Aurora, IL. Both RSSs have offered poor initial contact and lackluster follow up. In fact, after making an appointment, and driving 2 hours one way, to meet with the recruiter at RSS Aurora yesterday afternoon, then sitting and waiting in the combined recruit center with the Marine recruiter failing to show or meet he began talking to another recruiter. After a little over an hour he left and asked me if the Corps was this F’d up when I was in. I joked about how the “Old Corps” was always harder, sharper, etc. but then understanding what took place, I am genuinely embarassed by the actions, or lack there of, of these Marines.
Please let me know who he can seriously talk to concerning enlisting.
Semper Fi,
I am having the same problems with recruiters in MN!
