Life as a Marine
Hello, I'm a high school student interested in becoming a Marine (03xx), 0311 is my 'dream MOS'. I have a few questions pertaining life as a Marine.
  1. Are the barracks similar to a college dorm, where you room with a fellow Marine or two? Or is it one long strip of bunks (a la Gomer Pyle?
  2. If the answer to the above is yes, can a Marine put a computer or TV/VCR with a console (Xbox, GCN, etc.) in his room?
  3. How often/how many Marines get deployed to an aircraft carrier? How long is the average stay on one? Any personal experiences you'd like to share?
  4. A random and pretty foolish question, on another forum I read the issue or a 1911 to a Marine is standard, is this true? I was unsure of it's validacy.

    Any former or active Marines care to share? Thank you very much for the input.
