Nilsen, the Navy's had many rates that double as ground pounders with the Marines, namely the Hospital Corpsmen.  Even the Storekeepers, my old rate, have been brought into the ground combat aspect as well as others that I can't remember right now.  The Navy's support of the Army and Marines in a land-base role has been escallated significantly the last 3 or 4 years.

Keep your head down over there Blue and stay safe.

I know how your parents feel, my own son has done 2 tours in Iraq already and will likely do a 3rd soon if he doesn't get to transfer to another unit.

Exactly what Diablo said. My rate is Aviation Electrician. Any airdale in a shore duty squadron has a high chance of being sent IA. Indvidual Augmentation. Its a little paragraph in our contracts that say in a time of need we can be sent temporarily to the Marines or Army. Sort of like a draft within the military.

Thanks for your kind words guys. When I come back I'll treat anyone who wishes to a round of beers.

My son is coming home from Afghanistan shortly, finishing up a long deployment there.  It is his second tour in Afghanistan.

It is not a safe place. 

Good luck and thanks for your service.
