Hello all,
I am currently a Marine IED Detection Dog Handler in an Infantry Battalion. I recently returned from Afghanistan where I filled said billet.
I get out of the MC in 2 years an after college and very interested in pursuing a career in a Federal Law Enforcement Agency. Specifically looking at the FBI, USMS, DEA or USSS.
Any information, advice or even questions are welcome. Feel free to PM me as well.

No worries. Marines aren't known for their spelling. Number one reason why they all say "Semper Fi." delis is hard to spell.

K9Grunt, Welcome to RP from the Florida Panhandle! Retired jarhead here, 1/2 career enlisted, 1/2 as an "O" flying, I'll let you guess which was the better 1/2! First off, Thank You for your service to our wonderful country! And don't worry about the misspelling, like Mike said, we're now known for our grammatical prowess in the Marine Corps!! I've never seen a Marine spell his enemy to death!!
Tons of great info here as far as what you're looking for, and lots of great people too. Keep comin' back and letting us know how things are going with the end of your service and your transition into a new career.
Semper Fidelis!! (Hey, I just cut and pasted the last part from Mike's post above!)"Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have made a difference in the world. Marines don't have that problem." - Ronald Reagan

Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.
