A few Marines from my last unit (Camp Pendleton BLT 1/4) had bike and was forced to keep them stored in the back of there pick-up truck which really exposed the bikes to the weather 24-7...NOT GOOD!! SixthSlide, I"m not sure if you know if, but the Grunt's have KLR650's that are used to Recon, Convoy escorting, messaging and a host of other duities. I was involed in the Marine Corps Motorcycle program for several years. Not a bad duty assignment!!! You might want to work your way up into the Recon unit slowly. Spend a few years in the Grunts, learn the ropes. In a "regular" infantry unit you have a PLT call STA Plt (Surveillance, Target Acquisition Platoon). They are part of H&S Company and they are the Battalion CO's eyes and ears of the BN. That is where you will find the snipers & scouts. They get alot of "high speed" training, which will prepare you for a tour with Recon. To get into STA Plt you will need to go though a indoc:eek: [url]http://www.specwarnet.com/americas/USMC_MSPF.htm[/url] [url]http://www.marinescoutsniper.com/[/url] [url]http://www.marinescoutsniper.com/indoc.html[/url] Good Luck Semper Fi!
