I was on the “Dirty Worst” (31st MEU SOC) back many years ago.... I went on the first ship in 1998 and it was the 31st MEU.... And that’s when I learned why it was called the “Dirty Worst”...... Had a lot of great times.... I miss the shit out of it. The last MEU I went on in 2014.... Yeah, I’m retired now. I just hope the Corps don’t change too much. I know when I was hitting my 15-16 year mark, you couldn’t really find any Iraq or Afghan vets anywhere on the enlisted side in Lejeune. That’s some valuable information from the actual combat vets to pass on and the Corps got rid of them. I did 8 combat tours between Iraq and Afghanistan. Visited 56 countries because of the Navy and going on MEU’s. I would do it all over again. Semper USMC / Retired
The MEU is a great place to simultaneously relax a bit, but also receive some excelent training and develop leadership. The opportunities are awesome, and so are the memories.
beau Knows interesting! That balance seems perfect when we compare work to liberty time. Would you say that the workup for a MEU(SOC) is the most intense, varied, and useful training “regular” USMC Grunts can get?
@@cm-pr2ys there is never a bad training evolution as long as its thought out, has a purpose, tough, and realistic. Most of the time that is up to the company leadership. The work ups are generally fun because you get to work with your fellow company adjacents. Ittle be combined arms and what not, plus you get to work with the "whole marine corps" i.e. like field radio oporators, motor t, intel, ect.
In my 50yrs I've witnessed many changes in my beloved America. But the last 10yrs has been really hard to stomach with so much disrespect to our nation. Thank God for the U.S. Marine Corps. These warriors never let us down and will forever make Americans hearts swell with pride. Marines you have all our respect and 100% support from our nation and all it's citizens. Semper fidelis.
@Dick Manitoba: I was commissioned fifty years ago next month, and I served for twenty years. Not every male I served with was ideal, and many females were excellent. The point is, I wanted the BEST teammates possible, because they’d enhance both mission accomplishment and unit performance, unit morale and unit cohesion. Standards should be rigorous, realistic and universal, but selfless devotion to duty and to each other, self-discipline, self-sacrifice, and love of country are not - in my considered opinion - gender specific.
As a former FMF Navy Corpsman, our job was to make sure our Marines of the 1st LSB, 1st FSSSG was medically ready for these deployments. So please don't forget we the corpsman play a very important part ! My jr corpsman and I took 40 Marines to Honduras to train the Honduran Army back in the late 80's and We all came back home safe and sound !
Yes, we all went on a plane from March AFB nonstop to Honduras, back during the time in the 88-89 when the Nicaraguan army were killing the Honduran citizens. We were a Combat Support Service Detachment from Camp Pendleton. There is an article in the Times either Los Angeles or New York. My Marines trained the Honduran army. There was an US Army base there back in 88 that we landed in. My Commanding officer was Capt. Clark an outstanding Marine, who use to chew that nasty tobacco. Long story short it was over shadowed by the 1st Gulf War. We spent 29 days there !

I could agree with you more, shipmate.
At least you got out before they let the women into the grunts.

You and your junior corpsman were in charge of 40 Marines? How did that happen? How did you take them to Honduras? In a bus?
Aiming to deliver. God bless the Marines
GO MARINES!!!!😎
Leadership is essential, and I’d speculate 2/1’s commander - and his Sergeant Major - have their acts together.
SEMPER FI‼️🍻
