I got my pin and I’m on my way out…
July 7, 2010-After my Fleet Marine Force Warfare Pin pinning ceremony
After almost 2 months of studying for my FMF pin, I passed the written exam, sat through my oral board, and got pinned today! I am TOTALLY excited about this accomplishment. The Fleet Marine Force pin means that I know the ins and outs of how the Marine Corps is organized and how Marines are employed in their specific jobs and areas. The oral board itself is the most intimidating. I sit in front of two Navy officers that are FMF qualified and a Marine Corps officer, as they grill me for two hours on Marine Corps knowledge. I had to be able to identify the mm of 4 different types of ammunition, do land navigation, and take apart my 9mm pistol ON TOP of knowing everything general there is to know about the Marine Corps-history, aviation, ground pounding grunts, logistics, amphibious operations, etc. I am so blessed and grateful to have been given this opportunity and will be proud to wear it when I go back to Italia! The end is near…I am glad that I got my pin on this deployment with the Marines! Hoo-rah, Devil Dogs! I am proud to be serving with you!
