I served from 96-00. Mos was 1316. Stationed at camp lajeune from march 97 till June 99. Was in 2nd marines support bat, support com, heavy equipment plt. Went on strong resolve 98 deployment to Norway. In June 99 I went to Okinawa for my last year.
Simper Fi.

Enlisted in the Reserves to be MOS 2171, Electro-Optical Ordnance Repair in Albany, GA.. didn't make it through the training, failed about 1/2 way through. Got shipped to Abderdeen to be trained as a Small Arms Repair, MOS 2111. Finished that, came home, did my work for OMCT-1 out of Lawrence, now out of Devens, MA(old army post that still hosts reserves).

Duty came to an end when I said something I shouldn't have said about a particular CO.. words spreads fast, and he had me in his sights. It came to an administrative seperation to end the battle, but in the long run I lost any benefits I could have used post-Corps. I look back wishing I just went active duty..hell, I'd be retiring in 3 years from now if I did.
