Talk:Marine Security Guard

message: As of right now the second and third paragraphs of this article read like a recruiting advertisment and the only cited source for the entire article is the offical Battalion homepage, which also reads like the recruiting webpage that it is. This article needs to be cleaned up and cite its sources or have all hyperbole removed. NeoFreak 20:11, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

message: "In the past, less than 1% of all Marines have qualified and completed this duty."
that quote is very misleading. less than 1% have completed this duty because its a very small organization - that has nothing to do with being qualified.
i removed the 'qualified and' so the quote now reads "In the past, less than 1% of all Marines have completed this duty."
:::If someone can cite notable comments about how or why service at MSG is considered prestigious, then that can be added. (Also among ex-marines, MSGs are considered to "have their shit together".) --20yardsaway (talk) 16:50, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: source on this?

message: I pulled the data on each company from the GlobalSecurity ref... however, I'm sure this is terribly out of date. GS.com lists comanies A through G, but the official website lists contacts for companies H and I as well. It also notes about the US opening embassies in former Soviet bloc nations. Anyone have a better listing? I'd bet that a lot of that data is many years out of date. bahamut0013wordsdeeds  17:23, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Arguably the most notable Marine Security Guard, and possible the only one who became notable for reasons other than the circumstances of death OTJ: James "Jim" Hamilton Kean a.k.a Jim Kean and James H. Kean.
He became a hero in 1975 when he was the top dog US ground commander during the Fall of Saigon, and  he was a prime mover for averting a humanitarian crisis for 5000 vietnamese civilians.
I suggest that references from printed press are gathered on this discussion page. --20yardsaway (talk) 12:05, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: He was also on Larry King Live "with LtCol Kean & Steve Schuller - 20th Anniversary"   [the Fall of Saigon]. --20yardsaway (talk) 15:06, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
