Both WWII, Korea and Vietnam saw up to five percent of the Marine Corps strength coming from the draft. The threat of being drafted into the Army or the Marine Corps as cannon fodder has always kept long waiting lines at Air Force and Navy recruitment offices.
You Can find one at Home Depot. They will come too your house and personally fix it. The price is pretty good too. Ranging from 100-200 dollars on where you live at.
Until dec.1942 they allowed voluntary enlistments in the army ,after only draftees between 18-38.The navy and marine corp allowed continued voluntary enlistment at the age of 17 with parental consent.These rules where not strictly adhered to,the army had cases of underage boys claiming to be of draft age,some aged less than 15.The navy and marine corp had a large number of underage volunteers the youngest known being a 12 year old seaman.Based on existing data one in 300 Americans killed in WWII was aged 17 or less at the time of death.
I am not 100 percent certain, but I believe this is a patch for a WWII Army Air Force aircrew radioman. It would have been worn on the lower right sleeve of his uniform jacket.
St. Michael the Archangel is a patron saint of soldiers and marines are soldiers. Therefore, he is a patron saint of marines, also. However, the US Marine Corp is an arm of the US Federal Government and is constitutionally prohibited from having an "official" patron saint.
The M-16 rifle was carried by U S army units almost from the beginning of the vietnam conflict.The 7th Air Cav had them when they deployed to vietnam in august of 1965.The marine corp did not carry the M-16 until 1969 I believe.

Military branch (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp) Psychological Services.
Yes, but it was from the U.S Army and not the Marine Corp.
Army and Marine corp can give 'moral waivers' and allow a person with only 1 felony conviction to enlist. If more than 1 conviction you are SOL for army or marine corp. The air Force and Navy allow waivers for multiple convictions, but waivers are a lot harder to get in these branches of the service.
No...Its challanging but not hard..Marine Corp bootcamp is by far the hardest than the army
a colonel is military, marine corp, or air force above lieutenant and below brigadier.
Archibald Henderson is credited with thwarting attempts by President Andrew Jackson to combine the Marine Corps with the Army in 1829.
The Air Force originially started as part of the Army (Army Air Corp) during WWII. It became a separate branch after the end of WWII.
It would be highly unlikely. Consult a Marine Recruiter with your DD-214 in hand.
