.....................

Not to single out any Members or put you on blast....that would not be right of me, but being one who served 20+ yrs in the U.S. Marine Corps 0311 & 7041 MOS's, for both ground and air side, I am somewhat taken on some the views posted here, but your call on what you post.

But I see it like this...I joined for one reason.

To serve and protect what I have and what was given to me by the blood of those that came before me! As one who has seen and been in the horror of combat, and does not want to see it again but if had to, then so be it...but I have told my Sons I served so you don't have to...didn't work they are of age where they want to serve.

I am still serving but on the side lines if you will at MCAS Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma AZ, I see the young people that join the military and I thank them for their sense of duty and sacrifice...because I know and was there ;)

There are so many reasons why individuals join even for those in different countries, remember the U.S. Forces are a purple world we have joint forces that work and do their duties side by side, some the best people I have had the Honor to meet those people that worn a different uniform and even came from a different country.

But the male/female issue so to speak, not there I have seen and meet female combat engineers EOD types Explosive Ordnance Disposal, that are female and have been in combat more than some males, the USMC field for EOD is small. But my point is just because you are not titled 0311 ground infantry does not mean you will not be in actual hand to hand or face to face with you engaging the enemy. Another example we had a female interpreter, btw would have to go out with teams on combat patrols, and yes engage enemy when need be...I had one female Marine who was an Aviation Operations Specialist (which was my MOS when I retired) she volunteered to be that an interpreter, so endured combat, and engaged the enemy...as a desk clerk all because of her back ground on being a linguist and she was an enlist Marine. Good to Go on all areas.

Any way I have rambled on....for those who want to join take a long look, as I have made Marines that did not want to be in the military to later find out....they made it a career. And for those that are looking to make a resume well I say think again, although being hired for having those leadership skills and "will to do" attitude with the back ground to show it does help when you go for that job. Sure you will have those in equal traits/qualifications but the employer will notice you more than, IMHO.

Again I just happen to stumble on this thread, good to go.

Wow. U got my respect sir. I have read on a magazine that a marine soldier and his weapon is the deadliest weapon in the world. Can u tell, what other things that a marine achieve than army soldier?
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
Small story:

My son insisted on joining up after HS, I advised picking one of the services that would give him a usable skill.

He thought going into the Marine Corps was going to be the laziest choice.

The recruiter told him that the corps would take care of everything.

:laugh:

My son was under the impression that he would sign a paper, take an oath, bask in the sunshine down at IRD then run and workout everyday :)

Well he ended up at Camp Lejune surrounded by mud.

I'd get a call everyday about how the duty sucked...I said well it could be worse, you could go FMF.

He called me one nite whining again saying he was heading to Sierra Leone for defense action assigned as boatman aboard an LCAC.

On the way over of course all the Marines on board served FMF.

While he was in it was all complaining, when he was discharged in 2003 he wished he would have stayed in.

The marine corps is considered among former members as a pretty exclusive club it's an experience few would soon forget.
[Off-topic] StormMcCloud:
"He thought going into the Marine Corps was going to be the laziest choice. "

...........what kind of logic did he use to think that? Seriously, lol, that makes absolutely no sense to me.
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
18 year old who didn't want to sit in a classroom...

He just wanted someone telling him what and where...and of course that's what happened.

I told him he was gonna have classroom time no matter what...and of course he got classroom time anyway.

...kids!
[Off-topic] StormMcCloud:
What was his MOS?
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
I know he was Infantry 03xx if I remember right...he did move over to amphibious for duty aboard the LCAC as a loader.

I think that was special combat area duty.

Have to ask um next time we talk.

[Off-topic] Clark Joseph Kent:
Look into it, check out the AF website, talk to the local recruiter, the AF offers lots of educational schooling while in/on active duty that converts to some well place marks on a resume. There are schools/training that the AF lower/mid ranking receive that some other branches of the Services do not at a high rank.

I had a temp job if you on a Air Force base overseas...talking and seeing with Airmen/Women, they get some great schools for their job, that in the civilian world costs big $$...

Rethinking now i dont think Millitary job is crazy cuz ur fighting people with cool guns and plus no need to go gym for exercises instead u get exercises at millitary but too bad i wont be able to join them cuz i wanna be computer engineer
[Off-topic] Clark Joseph Kent:
Your thought is some what off, just a little Sir. Exercise is a must before and during any tour of duty for any branch of Service, some Services require more physical ability, but the end state is being in good health and condition is required by all Branches.

As far as your goal for IT field engineering, the Military can pay for and provide you with a lot of education or opportunities that may not be there for yourself, not knowing your back ground.

Just thoughts... ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnoz:
Some time ago I dropped and broke my Samsung Galaxy S, I've since gotten a replacement but there are still some files on the internal SD that I want to recover. I should be able to do this with ADB - but USB debugging doesn't seem to be enabled on device.

I thought entering recovery enables this - but I'm basing this on my cyanogenmod 10 install on my working device, whilst I should have stock 2.3.6 installed on the broken one (this rom specifically).

I believe I have the stock SGS recovery, but I can't say for sure.

Anyone have any clue on what I could do to get usb debugging working either in the OS or in recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodman01:
depending on what CWM you have installed you can go in mount and storage and there mount USB storage....then it connects the internal SDcard to your pc.

On my windows pc, sometimes the internal sd card mounts to pc only with connecting the phone to it. I am not sure anymore under what circumstances i got this working. Perhaps it was in download mode or in recovery mode....also could be that this was when i only short press the power button when phone is down but USB connected.....and if i remember right it depended also on which driver were installed and that sure kies is not running....but perhaps you give it a try?

Oh funny I ran across this tread. I just bought an s3 off contract, did the OTA update, and now it seems I can't get root or figure out even what I am doing wrong.

I have spent the better part of a day, bouncing between 3 computers and 4 software environments trying to get all the different guides I have found off of here to work. I have used the toolkit which I realizes states that you must have unlocked bootloader. I try to unlock bootloader, which the instructions seem to suggest that you must root first, I can't get any sort of file permissions to write root files. tried 3 different guides, all at the top of the forum lists.

Below is what I get when I try to flash file in odin per root instructions in tool kit:

There are several sites which claim to unlock the Samsung Galaxy Discover with prices ranging from $7.29 to $14.99 to $20. But it would be more challenging to root the phone and have superuser privilege to do changes.
