Marine corps in iraq?? ?

Question

what exactly do marines do in iraq right now, my boyfriend is a marine and hes prolly going to iraq sometime, and i was just wondering what he would be doing there im afraid to ask him to much cuz hes really freaked out about it and i dont want to bring it up...but im really worried about him going...

Answer 1

Your assuming alot dont you think..Not every Marine has been to Iraq and not every Marine will see Iraq..And not every Marine deploys and not every deployment is to Iraq...]

If he is a cook and he gets sent to Iraq then he will be a cook in iraq..You do your job when in Iraq or any other place in the world.

Answer 2

depends on job if he is in a combat mos he will be on the front lines doing patrolls daily and eventually will see combat

Answer 3

What's his MOS?  That'll tell the story.  He'll be doing whatever his job is when he's stateside.  If he's a helicopter mechanice, that's what he'll be doing in Iraq.  If he's a payroll clerk, that's what he'd be doing.  If he's a USMC postal employee, then that's what he'd be doing.  They don't change jobs just because they're going to another country... they are trained here to do the job they do to support the Marine Corps mission... and when they get deployed, that doesn't change.  

Answer 4

What did he think he was signing up for?
