我的海军陆战队经验

2011年刚从高中,我跟着的坦途,多数的年轻美国人在我们的社会中选择;申请大学,决定什么专业适合我的梦想的工作,等等。但是,我觉得我需要做一些值得的。我想沿着一条路径,它将带我舒适的单调的普通美国人的生活方式。我想走一条路,并不是很多人都走了,这条道路是军队。决定后,我看着每个军事分支,看看他们必须提供。做一些研究和与招聘人员之后,树枝,站在我的眼睛是海军陆战队。招聘人员非常专业,有最漂亮的制服,并显示一个组织的其他分支的热情似乎缺乏。几天后在与我的父母交谈后,接受他们的祝福,我回到招聘办公室把ASVAB(军事职业能力倾向测验),宣誓,宣誓就职,然后签署了一份5年的合同,作为一名空军机械师MOS(军事职业专业)6100年,美国海军陆战队。我的招聘人员告诉我的长串的新兵在我前面等待运走训练营,我必须放置在延迟输入程序(DEP),直到时间到了我要走。听到这个消息,过来我的挫败感和渴望。 At the same time, I knew that there was nothing I can do on my part to accelerate the process. During that time in the DEP was the time I received my acceptance letter to Oakland University. I was extremely excited to be accepted to the college that I wanted to go to, but I knew that I wouldn’t be staying there for long.

大约6个月后我签署了征募的合同,我把我的学籍在奥克兰,说我家人做最后的道别,然后登上飞机在底特律格鲁吉亚地铁途中,一辆公共汽车在哪里等着带自己,大约40人给我们的最终命运在海军陆战队新兵训练营在波弗特帕里斯岛,南卡罗来纳州。训练营是一个粗鲁的唤醒我的经验。醒来的是3个月0500钻教师不断的叫喊和指责,加上强调秩序钻,步枪射击,和海军陆战队的知识。训练营毕业后,回家在密歇根,我花了10天,很快就被送到集中营盖革在杰克逊维尔,北卡罗莱纳(MCT)海上作战训练。MCT没有强烈的训练营,但无论如何,这真让人受不了。简而言之,其特定一个月学习的步兵战术,来让自己熟悉各种机枪、手榴弹发射器,和夜视设备,所有在一个为期一星期的盛会,模拟作战条件,最后得出结论与齿轮的长徒步旅行与一个完整的包。当天,我毕业MCT,我被送到了一个学校,在海军航空兵的摇篮,海军航空站彭萨科拉,在佛罗里达州彭萨科拉。我被训练在美国海军航空兵的基本操作和基本的飞机维修程序。在彭萨科拉我花了2个月,毕业5我的班上,我得到一个选择的平台。有人给了我一个选择之间的越南战争时代架ch - 53直升机运输,和飞机/直升机混合MV-22B tiltrotor。 Mulling over the choices, it was clear that I wanted work on a unique aircraft that was on the cutting edge of aviation technology, and that was the MV-22B Osprey. Soon after I received my orders back to Jacksonville, North Carolina on Marine Corps Air Station New River, I started my training as an MV-22B airframe mechanic. With the chosen platform, my MOS also changed from the generalized aviation MOS 6100, to the Osprey specific MOS 6156. The MOS school in New River taught me about the different mechanical and hydraulic systems that made the Osprey function, as well as more specific maintenance related tasks such as carbon fiber repair, tire replacement, and hydraulic component replacement. When all was said, and done, it was 3 months of C-school before I received orders to my first unit, and at that point, it had been almost a year before I entered the fleet.

第一单元我住进海洋介质Tiltrotor中队261 (vmm - 261)。的感觉是新人刚从训练引起的焦虑在我的脑海中。我知道我有很多商店充满了经验丰富的海军陆战队证明刚刚回来从部署。最初几个月的舰队是粗糙的。最近检查的单位,我是食物链底部的,,还是要我的高级网络中心化(军士)的订单进行了一种紧迫感,没有犹豫。我是容易犯错误,我做了很多。每次我搞砸了,我纠正了因此,通常通过大声单侧讨论,或通过意义,思想麻木,你被迫做重复性的任务,直到你被告知要停止商店的一位高级成员。

习俗和礼节是一个概念,被我无情地反复强调老年人。与平民的世界,在那里你可以跟任何人但是你想不管位置或社会地位,在海军陆战队,如果你需要向一个更高级的海洋,你必须发起谈话说一天的问候,紧随其后的是他们的排名,最后你的陈述的主题,同时用脚站直肩同宽,双手和背后(游行)休息。每次你老人说了些什么,你立即被要求承认他们的声明“赞成”或“是”他们的排名紧随其后。未能遵守这些规则的惩罚是更片面的讨论或意义,重复的任务,如打扫或飞行线走来走去磅的工具箱。我花了6个月前在vmm - 261他们不得不削减海军陆战队从商店的工作人员,在准备即将到来的部署到阿富汗。海军陆战队的最少的经验在店里,我被调到一个妹妹中队,vmm - 264。vmm - 264就是我最终度过我剩下的征募(4年),而我是作为海洋和维护者。这个中队的动态检查ins比我更适应新老中队,和商店里的有经验的维护者是更愿意教你飞机为了让你更好的工作。

2014年,在第一年的检查与我的新中队,我正准备去在我的第一次部署的特殊目的海陆空特种部队危机应对(SP-MAGTFCR)位于白痴,西班牙。这个工作组创建直接回应袭击在班加西,利比亚在2012年。我们单位,以及一个步兵和物流部门,将应对任何危机发生在非洲大陆北部的美国人处于危险之中。开始部署很平静,实际上就像在美国。工作一天早上会从0600年开始,和结束在1700晚上(5点),夜班将接管的责任。每一天,我会跑液压样本,检查每个12飞机的轮胎压力,我中队负责,然后在任何维修工作需要完成的。由于我们没有在战区,命令给了我们的周末,我们可以巴士出去镇上,这给我们一个机会去体验和享受西班牙的景点和文化。一半通过部署,伊希斯是成为大新闻在媒体上,很快就有报道称,该组织要夺回伊拉克。在那段时间,我中队的指挥官收集每个人的巨大的衣架我们的工作,并告知我们的新使命。它是明显的,有一大群的难民逃离暴力造成的伊希斯反击,现在被困在山顶在伊拉克称为辛加尔山,伊希斯部队包围。 The CO informed the squadron that the Pentagon wanted those refugees rescued, and it was going to be our mission to rescue them. The CO then gave the squadron the timeline of a week to prepare the aircraft before we were expected to commence the operation. This news hit the squadron hard, and it gave us a purpose for being out in Spain and got the squadron focused on the mission at hand. Lives were now at stake, and any delays or mistakes on our part would be costly. The command immediately instituted 12 hour shifts with a greater emphasis on aircraft readiness. Everyone was on edge. On the day the mission was to commence, myself and 2 other fellow Marines were racing down the flight line checking the hydraulic systems and landing gear of the aircraft prior to take off, when we were told to stop what we were doing and run to the hangar. In the hangar, the entire squadron was gathered, and our CO broke the news. It turned out that a recon team was sent to the mountain the night prior to us taking off, and they discovered that the refugees have found a path off the mountain, and were no longer in danger. It was good news to hear, but at the same time, disappointing, because all the hard work and preparations leading up to that point, was for nothing. The remaining 3 months of deployment were uneventful, and we were relieved by another squadron, VMM-266, in which were headed back to the states.

一年后,2016年7月,我开始了我的第二个中队的部署支持22日海军远征部队黄蜂号上(并)(LHD-1)。我们并运营支持奥德赛的利比亚海岸的闪电,一个操作,试图击败伊西斯力量在利比亚。在船上的操作节奏是无情的。每个人都是工作12小时,没有周末。天混在一起,我感觉时间走了。航空战斗元素,它由我中队的鱼鹰,架av - 8 b“鹞”鹞式飞机的单位,单位休伊和眼镜蛇武装直升机,每天推出架次,几乎每一个小时的连续3个月的那一天。飞行甲板,我将看我们鱼鹰起飞第一,紧随其后的是休伊和眼镜蛇装满导弹和数千发子弹,最后,“鹞”式的炸弹和火箭。像发条一样,我将这些飞机装满弹药,然后回来小时后完全空的,然后加载备份并再次发送。我知道我们改变和摧毁伊西斯在利比亚,判断形成大量的炸弹和火箭,每天被使用。三个月的连续轰炸之后,我们的船被美国圣安东尼奥(lpd - 17)松了一口气继续空袭利比亚,而我们的船是前往绍达湾停靠,一个当之无愧的脱离操作的克里特岛。 Crete was a nice place to visit, even more so since I got to breathe fresh air on land, as oppose to the stale, jet fuel scented air on the ship. The people there were extremely friendly since they knew we were American, and that the sudden influx of Marines and Sailors would rake in huge amounts revenue for the local businesses. The one thing I cannot recommend enough, is the authentic Greek Gyro. For 3 euro, you can have a full sized Greek Gyro packed with slabs of beef, Mediterranean tomatoes and onions, and a heaping serving of ziti sauce. Gyros made in America, do not compare. We spent a week in Crete, where we left port and were headed to the coast of Yemen, where an anti- shipping missile had been fired at the USS San Antonio a week prior. Our ship was headed there with its aviation assets as a show of force in the area. We were on station for almost a month, which were thankfully uneventful. After sailing off the coast of Yemen, we transited back though the Suez Canal and continued bombing operations off the coast of Libya, until 2 weeks prior to Christmas, 2016, where we were finally sailing home. According to the ship’s captain, our MEU had dropped nearly 400 bombs, which was a record for a Marine MEU and a Navy LHD. To Commemorate this accomplishment, the Captain had his sailors paint 400 little black bombs on the side of the ship’s island. Our efforts have also allowed government forces in Libya to liberate the city of Sirte from ISIS forces. We made it home 2 days before Christmas, and a month later, at the end of January, I went on terminal leave and was honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps as a Sergeant. (E-5).

从军事转型到平民生活已经有点尴尬。习俗和礼节,我已经习惯了在海军陆战队,平民世界上是不存在的。做事的感觉产生了一种紧迫感,钻在我的脑海里的海军陆战队第一天以来,在社会价值观的个性,和拥有一个“做你想做的事”的态度。诚然,我感到愤怒,但我的冷静的头脑和适应回到平民的做事方式。回到奥克兰大学5年之后我带着一万博ManBetX登录流的校园2011年,发生了很多变化。大学正在扩大,我注意到的第一件事是新钟楼和高科技工程建设,2011年不存在的两件事。我想这是一个衡量如何成为成功的大学,这是一件好事,我现在感到自豪的一部分。如果我能回到过去,选择一条不同的道路,我会选择同样的道路,目前我选择我的生活。在军队里通过我的时候,我已经去过世界上不同的地方,通过我的行为影响变化,经历不同的文化,与人讲不同的语言。我也有朋友,曾与一些最优秀的人,我有幸为,来自截然不同的地区。 Overall, I do not regret my time in the military, and it is a decision that I am glad that I have made.

LCpl不知为什么加入了海军陆战队2009年8月,参加了海军陆战队新兵训练营巴黎岛,南卡罗来纳。在毕业招聘培训和海上作战训练,LCpl不知为什么被分配到大坝的脖子在弗吉尼亚州弗吉尼亚海滩的海军基地的情报分析员培训和2010年6月毕业。LCpl不知为什么被分配到利马公司在北卡罗来纳州第二海军陆战队第3营,北卡罗来纳州和立即培训部署到阿富汗。LCpl不知担任该公司情报细胞水平(按)在一个步兵连。当训练即将到来的部署,LCpl不知为什么被6步兵交叉培训和援助的职责按操作导致成功的未来的任务。在这个时间段,LCpl不知赢得了他在海军陆战队武术绿带培训以及其他各种情报和分析证书。2011年2月,第3营第二海军陆战队部署到赫尔曼德省,阿富汗在利马公司脱离其他营,被分配到村现在Zad大约15英里远。负责分析和发展相关的可操作的情报步兵和他们的领导人,LCpl不知为什么提供必要的情报具体任务和协调进行的指挥官。这些行动高度辅助在证据和成功率最高的拘留营内集合。从阿富汗回来之后,LCpl不知是公认的,由于他的能力和奉献精神,责任和被授予海军和海军陆战队成就奖章。 Upon returning to Camp Lejeune in October of 2011, LCpl Convery served as the battalion subject matter expert on background investigations and supported the Marines within the battalion to ensure they had the clearance they needed in order to attain the roles and duties they sought out. In February of 2012 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines began a workup for a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), which is a partnership with the Navy to serve as a task force providing swift responses to overcome any threat on land, in air and at sea. As 3/2 was assigned to the 26th MEU, LCpl Convery assumed the same role as CLIC analyst through the several working exercises including embarkation and debarkation, tactical questioning and several ranges needed to qualify for the deployment. In March of 2013 the 26th MEU deployed to the 5th and 6th fleet in the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf. Lima Company was assigned to the USS San Antonio and along with the rest of the battalion and 26th MEU, participated in many multi-national exercises.

During these exercises, LCpl Convery served as liaison between Lima Company and headquarters ensuring that training requirements were conducted and fulfilled. During this time, the first chemical weapon attack was reported within Syria, which forced the USS San Antonio to travel to the coast of Syria and Marines and Sailors aboard to be ready for response measures should they be needed to counter any further attacks or respond as needed. 3/2 returned home from deployment shortly after that in November of 2013. LCpl Convery was Honorably Discharged from the United States Marine Corps on May 25th 2014; he then moved to Shelby Township with his wife and enrolled in the Criminal Justice Homeland Security program here at Oakland University.

下是彼得的美好回忆之一在海军

招惹水面舰队(进行了大约一个月,但不是部署)

T.R.E.战术准备评估(明显的树)。这是一个测试,每艘军舰都有采取每年证明它能使战争如果要求这样做。我们(图森)呼吁的豚鼠水面舰队的巡洋舰和驱逐舰战斗群T.R.E.组评估。不幸的是,我们却被转移到一个很小的水域,我们也不得不运行我们的柴油备用发电机在潜望镜深度。换句话说,我们不得不呆浅,让一堆噪音。正是任何隐形船不想做什么,但至少我们必须试图让水面舰队的自我感觉良好。如果你还没有搞懂了,有一个实实在在的表面,“我们对他们”关系和潜艇舰队。他们(水上舰队)认为我们疯了,而我们(潜艇)知道他们只是愚蠢。

当我们在嘈杂的电波在小蒸箱,它只是一个时间问题我们是斑点的航空反潜巡逻艇声纳浮标在我们周围,很快就开始下降。不久,附近的水面舰队的战斗群跑在他们的主动声纳,之所以我们,我们很快就死了。

水上舰队万岁……

大约一个月后,轮到图森re-certify T.R.E.和报复的欲望,现在图森被追捕并杀死,同样的战斗群还喜气洋洋的从他们之前的潜在的成功。只有这一次,我们在全面核快速攻击模式,我们使用鱼雷运动,我们向他们开火。同样的速度和能力正常鱼雷-爆炸物的几百英镑。记住,水上舰队不是“完整”白痴,我们继续谨慎从深到潜望镜深度。环顾四周,我们很快发现了战斗群运行缓慢而无声。然后鸽子,只出现在另一边,他们通过我们的潜望镜的拍照,然后电子邮件照片只是为了惹它们。我们可以告诉当他们得到了他们的电子邮件,因为他们都加速到一个高速主动声纳引起恐慌。

几搞笑轮“现在你看我,现在你没有,”我们乐趣,很快把虚拟浪费现在道德已经水面战斗群。

“胜利属于图森那一天,和水面舰队的眼泪从来没有那么好吃……”
