I know how it works, but what third world country you think you'd get stationed in, out of curiousity. Do your research to see where YOUR JOB can get stationed and ask for specific locations. But hey, that's just my thoughts on that. Did you join the Marines because you wanted to be stationed at home near Mommy, Daddy and your friends? Just curious, if that be the case you mind as well have went Guard.
LoL. No mama's boy, here. But I would be slightly pissed if my car had to stay home while I was overseas. Not that that's what it's about...just saying comfortability of living would be easier in the states for the first DS. Not just the car, or family/friends, but the overall aura. It's already a big change in lifestyle to join the military...being unfamiliar with the culture and everything would only add to it.

Yes, the marines by FAR operate on a needs of the marine corps basis. I'm doing as much research as I can to find where the H53's are located, but it's not quite as easy as it sounds. Just last night I spent an hour hunting online. I wanna get back in there and find someone with more knoledge, but I have to wait until I at least get settled into the air station.
