Anonymous asked: I’m writing a story dealing with a female character that’s a solider or a marine…I haven’t decided which just yet. But I’ve realize that I don’t know where to start my research and I hope that you or maybe one of your followers would know where I can start. I want to know what kind of training they go through, the combat/positions in it, weapons, ranks, speaking in code, PTSD, etc.
I wasn’t sure exactly what branch you meant when you said “soldier,” so I decided to use this as an opportunity to get links for all four branches. I’ll start off with the Marines, since you said she might be a Marine, and I will put information about PTSD at the end of the post.

It was the first time the Sgt had asked to see him privately. He knew he had been doing his best so he couldn’t be bad so he had no idea what to expect. He’s head all the stories and they were all different, he didn’t have any idea what was going to happen.
Well he did know one thing, he was excided for it.

Drilled and ready to give his best for his Sgt he’s going to prove it’s the man not the gear that makes the modern Soldier.

Getting in a good workout, obeying the no shirt rule and spending time with a buddy while their uniforms dry, this is why smart men are the best men to own. They make good use of their time.
