Hello readers,
Welcome to "A Marine's Tale." This is a blog about the service of an infantry marine in a Fleet Marine Force company. The story revolves around a young, reckless, Marine who makes it through the Marine Corps despite adversity and other issues. It is the tale of one man's adverture across the world while in service with an elite infantry force.
My name is Jason Haines, and I am a United States Marine from California. I was stationed aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and I served with Fifth Marines in a helicopter based infantry unit. I earned the rank of Corporal and spent fourteen months overseas in service to America.
I fired rockets and worked with explosives as my miltary occupational speciality or (MOS). I served in combat zones and on humanitarian missions during recent years. I was a squad leader, a damn good one under most opinions, maybe not my battalion commander's opinion, but in a lower echelon sense. I was a Marine's Marine. A hard charger. A motivator.
The story has no particular format. I will be speaking about many topics related to military life. Topics to be covered are deployment, war, survival, tactics, weapons, military vehicles, marine corps culture and more.
I welcome any and all comments.
Semper Fidelis
