  1. Kenta I'm completely ignorant on military stuff but do you want to get out of the army/marines? Is it like you still have a serve a bit more?

    I am getting out. I complete my four years in July. There is another deployment coming up, but I have a wife and a daughter now, and I'm not going to leave them 2 months after my daughter is born. But technically after this July, I can still be recalled back by the Marines within the next four years if say there is a draft. I've done my term honorably and I feel I've contributed enough to the Marine Corps and myself the past four years so I'm good :)

    Isn't there a stop-loss still in effect? if so you're fucked all around the board. They can keep you after your contract expires, fuckers.

    Not that I've heard of. I know Marines that get extensions because they have some time to give up for say an extra deployment. But I really haven't heard of anyone staying in over there contract unless they are on legal or medical hold.

    Ahh they may have went ahead and did away with it. I remember hearing about it and how a ton of people were being kept well after the date they were supposed to be discharged.

    Yeah that was around like the beginning of OEF.

    I know you asked him but...

    I think you have a 4 year obligation to serve. After 4 years you can decide to opt out and get an honorable discharge or sign another 4 year contract. Of course, you can fuck up and get yourself kicked out on purpose, but if you go that route, you might as well have a felony on your record, Dishonorable discharges are hard to shake, at least that's what they make you believe. Or you could go AWAL like a real man, but that is an actual felony.

    lmao desertion. I heard of a story of a marine who went UA during vietnam and turned himself in like 40 years laterr hahah

  5. What will you do now Kenta?

    Go back to college. Gonna get payed for living and getting full tuition for school. Not sure I wanna major in though. Definitely want to work in a similar field of logistics.

    This was so obviously your motivation for joining. :D

    So cut the wanna save the world bullshit when it's really "Kill a few innocent people...fuck it why not if it pays for college.":D

    Yeah you're so great at reading people. :|

    Jeez what a bitch :shake:

  6. Most of those were from my deployment in Afghanistan. For the first year n a half in my career I was considered expendable by my shop. So in that deployment I was going around in trucks from little base to other bases making sure supplies were getting to the Marines. Around July we had 10 KIA's so one platoon needed bodies to be replaced and I was "voluntold" to be sent to that platoon. So from July to Nov I was in the shit. My "job" though is Supply Administration. Yes its a desk job. After Afghan and back in the States I control all property in the Battalion and track it. Then deployed to Okinawa in 2008 and went all around asia. It's a good job, I got my NAM for gettin a perfect score on a Division inspection.

    As goes : Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, Navy Unit Commendation Ribbon, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal (1 Bronze star), Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (1 Bronze Star), and the NATO International Security Assistance Force Medal.
