Exigent circumstances cannot be clearly defined due to varying threats to diplomatic facilities abroad; however, MSG capabilities during exigent circumstances can be defined and are very limited. The overarching reason for this is because MSG training is focused on internal defense and response to events inside the chancery. MSGs are not trained in offensive operations to include tactical maneuvers outside the chancery and rescue missions.
The parameters for the MSG mission are defensive. MSGs will not be employed to conduct rescue missions off-compound using direct action, raids, or similar actions to apprehend terrorist or other suspects, nor clearing housing compounds on or off-compound.

Annex I: Exigent Circumstances Purpose. Annex J: Activations and Deactivations 1. YES - Can Post 1 be manned during the upgrade process? For the U. Marine Security Guard Duties. Exigent Circumstances. VIP Support. MSG Housing. Legal and Discipline Authority. Equipment and Logistics. Vehicle Assignment, Support, and Control. Medical and Dental Support. Special Temporary Additional Duty. Name was Brian Johnson. He came up from Dar es Salaam. I served with Brian in Dublin.
He was on duty when the Embassy Got hit. That night, he wore it out in town and we went clubbing. Brian and I had some great times in Dublin. I always wondered what happened to him. I have tried facebook, but to no avail.
What posts were you at? Harare and where else? I don't specifically recall seeing you, but then we have random DoS officials in suits in the building walking around pretty frequently. We started getting sprayed at around I went fairly late in the group, since my partner took it pretty hard. Yeah it sucked, I can relate! He is moto! Where are the board proceedings.
Yeah, he's still an instructor, and still moto. We did the board in the CO's conference room next to post 3. It was wierd eating chow with him when I was an MSG, having had him as an instructor.
I also had a 20 minute meeting with the Executive Director, Mr. Good luck. I always wanted to go to the Middle East, but went to Asia instead as my fourth post.
Remember, never have a bad day behind the glass. Got into a fight with some MSG from Tokyo once. They did not fare well against fleet Marines LOL. One of the guys I went for meritorious CPL with had a black eye from the incident Granted this was back in in another time and another Corps compared to today. Best duty I have done and rewarding. That is funny, to think a fleet Marine is tougher than a "non-fleet" Marine.
But then again - you are the guy who openly claims air force special operations,, hehe. That is too funny. I'm pretty sure it is the man, not the duty station that makes the fighter. But it's your story so tell it how you want. Riyad is not so bad.. How hard was it to get accepted as a LCpl? I heard that they will only consider really squared away LCpls if there aren't enough Corporals.
My MOS has been locked out so I won't be seeing a promotion anytime soon. You have been hearing wrong scoop unless the program has changed over the years.
Regardless of your rank, the most important asset towards being accepted into the MSG program is the support and confidence of your chain of command. The minimum requirements to apply for the program aren't particularly tough, and is pretty much what you'd expect; not being on weight control, having a passing PFT, no NJPs in the recent past, etc. Back in ancient history I saw a number of people who had washed out in one MOS become very good soldiers doing something else.
SFC Join to see. Anyone who fails any MOS training regardless of gender can be reassigned for another MOS at the discretion of "needs of the service". The integration of women in Combat Arms doesn't really change anything in that regard. If they day you fail Infantry training the Army happens to need left handed mechanics, congrats, you're going to Mechanic School. If that day they needed cooks, you'll be headed to cook school.
Staying and reattempting training is always possible it's cheaper than sending someone to another MOS school but it's always at the discretion of the service. Thanks, I know of this policy, I am trying to get input from those who have seen what happens to those who specifally failed Infantry training.
MCT failures are recycled or discharged. SFC Join to see 6 y. If they are brand new Soldiers new enlistees and wash out of training the ones I have seen have been discharged.
It's a uncharacterized discharge. Tim, I am assuming we are talking about infantry training? The only ones I've seen are the brand new Soldiers. So if a Truck Driver went thru Infantry training,but didn't make it they'd go back to being a Truck Driver.
