Hello everyone, just introducing myself.

Good morning everyone.

My name is Shawn Matthews, corporal in the United States Marines Corps. Currently I'm based outside of diyala province, Iraq. Originally from Tampa, Florida. I was sort of surfing google when I found GC. Thought it would be a fun way to keep in touch with home. I've been in the god awful place coming up on 2 years now. I belong to a special detachment that was hand in hand with unit 178 in taking falluja. I'm 0300 infantry gunner. Any other devil dogs out there please don't hesitate to write. Love to hear from you all. Have a good one, oorah!

Hello GroundPounderUSMC, welcome to GC. I have a friend who wants to be in the British Royal Marines. Are they similar to the United States Marines?

Not really, US Marines as far as I know, ( not talking trash about britain) We go through the most vigorous, ass kicking training known to man for a non special forces Branch. But I do know that SAS are more looked up to than most branches of our own. Nice of you to post back by the way.

I wasn't talking about the SAS....I was talking about the Royal Marines :P. I was just wondering.

No, I was based in coronado, california. My best friend is in Norfolk though. He hates it, so many bases and everyone is so use to military. He says they treat him like he's going to steal something everytime he goes out. That's what he gets for joining the Navy hahaha.
