Life of female marines? 10 points for the best advice.?

There are at least 2 female marines were killed by other male marines. Any thoughts about this?





Thank youLife of female marines? 10 points for the best advice.?
To the best of my knowledge there was 1 female Marine killed and one soldier (army) killed. The men that supposedly (remember this is America and they are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law) murdered these women are a blemish to the United States Marine Corps. If these women and their accused killers were not in the military the coverage of their stories would not be making headlines nationally. I think that for people to come down on the military for these murders is absolutely senseless. Military members come from all walks of life and are just a small representation of the United States on a whole. People are wrong for condemning and blaming the military in these matters. Civilians kill each other every day, there are crimes committed against women and children every day. If everyone would just mind their own business, keep their hands off of others husbands/boyfriends/wives/girlfriends, and keep the drama to a minimum things like these shouldn't happen (these things almost always involve relationship drama unfortunately). The men and women in the US military are supposed to be ';shining'; examples of what every American SHOULD be. And while most are respectable there are a few bad apples that ruin the whole bunch. So I'm not sure what kind of advice you are looking for but here's what I'm going to tell you.... In 4+ years in the Marine Corps I was never threatened or felt threatened, most of the male Marines I know are good respectable people that I would trust with my life if need be. And please don't judge the Marine Corps for the actions of a few miserable excuses for human beings.Life of female marines? 10 points for the best advice.?
The life of a female marine is identical to the life of a male marine. There is no gender bias in the Corps.





The fact that two female marines were murdered by fellow marines should not be held against the whole Corps. Unfortunate and regrettable, but acts committed by individuals against other individuals. Those who committed these acts will be punished within the full extent of military (and possibly, civilian) law.
Pleast just remember they are exceptions - not the norm. I know many female Marines who love their job, love the Corp, and do just fine with their male counterparts. My boyfriend has several friends who are female Marines and all have never been treated disrepectfully by anyone in the Corp.
The military as a whole has demonstrated a total failure to protect the women serving within their ranks, however violence against women is an epidemic that riddles our American society and won't be cured simply or swiftly. You can't label all the offenders as being 'PTSD' as that will only serve to provide an excuse for extremely bad behavior. The Military Authorities need to be more pro-active about protecting the victims of domestic violence as well as providing more effective services.





In the past seven months it has been one female Marine and her unborn child, one female enlisted soldier who's murder is still under investigation and this recent soldier who was a commissioned nurse. I'm quite unaware of this second female Marine you are referring to in your question. Perhaps you should check your facts?
Men kill women each and every day and the fact that it was a Marine committing these crimes should not be a concern to you..





Where do you think Marines come from? That's right..they come from places like where you and I live..





There are murderers, rapist, jokers, jocks, geeks, gay, and every other type of person currently serving in the USMC..I dont see why you have to focus on the fact that a Marine committed a crime as if Marines are super human and can do no wrong..





So to answer your question..I'm not surprised one bit..and guess what..It will happen again in the future.
Thats a shame.....Those two male Marines are not real men, they are low life cowards who deserves to spend the rest of their life in jail.
was it other marines? even if they were female they should have been able to protect themselves. both of their training is tough.

  • I hate my life, and I need advice. make it as cruel as possible.?

    I'm in high school and I don't have any real friends. I have acquaintances(fair weather friends) but they have other friends who they prefer. They don't keep promises and they don't care about me or my feelings. They know I do nothing on weekends but they still don't invite me anywhere. On weekends I am all alone then on Monday I have to here my friends talk about how great their weekend was and about what funny things they did with their friends. I am the most virgin in the whole school. I've never even kissed a girl, or had a girlfriend. Girls don't like me and think I'm ugly and I know because I've over heard them talk about me. Today at lunch the people who I hang out with were talking about how far they went with a girl, and I felt like crap the whole time. I have no talents so I'm worthless to myself and everyone else. I really don't know what to do, I'm a complete loser and I need a life and happiness, don't I deserve it too?


    I'm very proud, and its hard to tell people this.I hate my life, and I need advice. make it as cruel as possible.?
    Your story sounds like what my life was like up untill the last year or two. The best advice I can give you is not to beat yourself up about every little thing. I'm now 18 and am in college. Man, I have to tell you, just the atmosphere in most colleges is way different than any highschool. People seem to muture a little once they notice ';I'm actualy an adult now, and will soon be living on my own.'; These things that you have talked about just prove that you are already more mature than most guys your age. One thing I've learned is when it comes down to the truth, most of the guys bragging about how far they've went were just as much of a virgin as I am. The difference is that those guys continue to be immature, and they not only are lieing to others, but to themselves as well. These guys are the ones that, once in college end up having reality slap them hard in the face for a wake up call.


    As far as your weekends go and you thinking you have no talents....Start trying new things on the weekends that you enjoy doing or that benifit you. Forget about the so called parties that you think are going on with out you, most of them are the type of parties that can lead to you getting in big trouble anyways. Try doing stuff like finding a church with a decent size youth group, with people your age that go. I know, from personal experience, that going to church can dramaticly help a situation like yours. When I was feeling left out and depressed some of the few people (besides my actual family) that I felt, and feel, like I could turn to was God and the church.





    I know it's hard to tell people your situatuion but PLEASE PLEASE if it start to get any worse talk to your parents or a trusted adult (preacher, teacher, counselor, ect.) about it. Hope my advice helps you some! Good luck, and God Bless!!!I hate my life, and I need advice. make it as cruel as possible.?
    i know how you feel. You know the best revenge is living well. They dont like you or wanna be around you...Fine... You study hard and suceed in life... wen they are married with their 2.5 kids and drivin a station wagon youll be fabulously wealthy. and let ppl tell you what they want but money does matter. Youll ultimately have the last laugh.





    plz tell me wat you guys think of this site


    www.msnowitall.blogspot.com
    dude dont listen 2 wat other people think of u


    they r stupid for talkin about other people neways i


    got out of that stage thank goodness lol im in high school too but trust me one day u will find a gurl that will %26lt;3 everything about u and invite ur friends to do something with u. dont just wait around on them to invite u! u get out there and invite them lol
    those are the terms i wud use to describe myself..i understand how u must be feeling right now...the only difference is that u WANT to have friends or u feel negative.. i dont care and deal with it..u sound like a guy with a really awesome personality..i wonder why no one has discovered that yet. looks really shudnt matter. maybe u need to talk to sumone 'bout ur problems? ur a great person..and they only reason why they dont get along with u is because they haven't discovered that yet....
    To have friends, you have to make friends, and be a friend. Talk to random people. Compliment someone on something of theirs that you like, even if it is a pencil! Join a club at school - any interest will do. I have a friend who met her husband at the religion club at her school! Have a party, but only invite a few. If they don't show up, party anyway! It sounds like you need fun. (And I mean real fun, not Al Cohol, he is not your friend)
    c'mon man.. this is not the end of the world


    im sure there are plenty of girls out there who'd love you for who you are and not who you thing you should be..


    maybe find some new mates, these one are obviously no good for your self esteem..


    do the smart thing and befriend girls and what the smart straight boys do, because then they learn what to and what not to do





    good luck x
    don't let other people's lives and experiences ruin how you feel about yourself.


    just stay strong and keep your head up.


    look for better friends. look for people who understand you.


    you sound like a good guy! and who cares if you're a virgin, honestly it just means that the right girl hasn't come along yet.


    take care hunnie
    Believe me, high school isn't always easy when it comes to social life. I HATED HIGH SCHOOL AND EVERYONE IN IT. I hated the way people were so stuck up and superficial. You'll realize that once you get the hell outta there, there's a whole world of different people with different ideas not just close minded young-adults you find in high school. Whatever it is that you're self concious about, do something about it. If you're overweight, eat better and exercise, you'll also work up your self esteem and feel better at the same time. If you have crooked teeth, get braces now while it's probably still covered by your parent's insurance. You'll be amazed how people will see you differently if your self confident. Don't worry, things will change. God made someone for everyone, and it doesn't mean she's in your high school. She could even be in another city or state! Oh, and those people at the lunch table talking about how far they've gone with a chick are the same guys that will end up catching an STD. It's sad but probably very true. Just wait, you'll meet some people you can relate to. Try joining an afterschool activity like whatever you like to do, karate, basketball, etc., and you'll find friends that will that see you differently than the way those jerks do.
    Ugh, high school. Most people find high school to be a miserable place. So you are not alone, but I'm sorry to hear you are having such a terrible time.


    I know it's probably really hard to understand while you are in high school, but real life is NOT like high school. At all. When it's all over you will go off to college and it will be a totally different world, you will find people just like you and fit right in, and have a great time. You are not a loser. A lot of very successful people look back on high school and remember it as a bad experience where they didn't fit in.





    My advice to you is to concentrate on school, your grades, anything that will help you in your future. Forget everyone else, they are caught up in their own drama and are not worth your time. I know that's hard to do because you have to be around them daily but try your best.





    No one wanted to date me in high school either, I thought I was ugly, too tall, too skinny. I ended up modeling while in college. What was unacceptable in high school was beautiful to others.





    Hope that makes you feel better.
    Believe me or not but I know exactly how you feel. Although I am gay I had just recently come out so all throughout high school I was acting like I was straight. No girls liked me, I had no real friends, I did nothing on the weekends and listen to others talk about their weekends. It is hard I know but I found that you should hang out with your acuqantances and when you get home to do something that you love to make your day better. For example for me, I would go home and listen to music and I would feel better. High school goes by quick, trust me. If you do things that you like after school or even during school to make you feel better, you will eventually make it through high school. As for the girlfriend thing, I haven't had a boyfriend. I try to look, but I don't really pay much attention to it, because I pay attention to my work. I know that at the end you will still be lonely, but if you have your family to help you, you will be alright. I hope I made some sense to you and hope that you take my advice. I've been through the same thing you are going to and I am living proof that you can overcome the problems you are facing right now.
    don't depend on others for happiness. you have to truly like who you are first and then others will like you too. and plus, why don't YOU call other people first? why do they have to do all the work to get through to you?
    Back up for one second please, dont you think everybody feels the way you do? Its human emotion to feel insecure, unhappy, depressed, sad, narcissistic, and scared....... Along with a million other emotions. Okay well all this negative self talk your doing isn't helping you any better, in fact its only making you worse. Yes there are two kinds of self talk negative, and positive. What your saying and telling yourself is definitely negative, and because you keep on saying these things over and over your beginning to believe it yourself. First off you need to stop, and instead try and I mean really try to find the positive aspects in your life. Now about these so called aquantances thats exactly what they are not FRIENDS, friends are the people that are going to want to hang out with you on the weekends not these people your talking about. Its hard to make friends especially if your a male but your going to have to try. Put yourself out there find out where you belong and who YOU would want as a friend. This isn't gonna be easy but nobody said it was, I hated highschool too but I made it through and so can you. Dont assume someone is going to come up to you and do the work for you, this is your life so its time to take some control. About the whole sex thing big deal, sex is overrated anyways!!jk! Well to be honest half the guys that are telling you this are lying to impress the other dudes around you dont just assume and take their word that they actually did something.


    Okay its time I let you in on a little secret Girls Love I mean LOVE AND WANT a man with self confidence. This is something you dont exactly have right now, if your gonna walk around sad all the time with your head down take it from me no girl is gonna want to go out with you. I knew some of the ugliest guys ever in highschool but they always had girlfriends, WHY??? they were funny, loud, arrogant, and the class clown. They had so much confidence and ego it wasnt even funny. If you want a girl to take notice your going to have to once again take charge (just like with making friends).





    If you feel like crap and you look like crap chances are you are crap. However you need to change your perspective about yourself. Who gives a **** how others view you, first think about yourself before letting others think for you. You say you deserve to find happiness and a life yet are you doing something about it. For example its sorta like me saying Im so fat and I wanna lose weight but I dont diet and Im not exercising. How do you expect me to lose the weight? Magic? No its gonna take hard work and will power to pass on that snickers and cookies and cream. (by the way Im not Fat). You say you deserve it, well sweety why? Better yet show me why you deserve it, cuz nothing in life is gonna come easy to you, your gonna have to work and sometimes fight for it. You want things to change, then change them, because YOU are the only person who can change them. You say your proud yet the way you speak and feel does not reflect this image to me.


    First off your not alone know that, second off remember that if you've hit nothing but rock bottom the only place to go is up =)

    Its ruining my life and I need advice?

    Im 18 years old..not overweight at all. I eat okay and i exercise daily. I was diagnosed with High blood pressure and rapid heart rate. The doctors think that the hbp comes from my rapid heart rate tho. I have had numerous EK G's and they all have came back wrong so I wore a 24 hour halter Monitor and also had an ultra sound of my heart as well. It showed that I had mitral valve prolapse and I had to end up wearing a 21 day halter monitor. The doc said that my medicine mainly kept my heart rate down but it doesn't all the time. I am currently taking Metoprolol tart 50 mg. Even thought I am on this i am still experiencing the rapid heart rate badly. It stays over 100 beats a minute and resting sometimes goes to 150-160 a minute. When my heart beats fast I get nauseous, really hot, dizzy and i have even passed out. My meds r not seeming to work all the time but then again I do not want to be on these meds my whole life. For one not workin all the time then it makes me very tired and have no energy at all. Its like I have to drap my body around to do stuff but what other options do i have?? And im sure its not good to be on this medication for such a long timeIts ruining my life and I need advice?
    ok. #1 it is a misconception that people have that makes them think that you have to be overweight to have heart problems. That totally sucks that your 18 and having all these problems. When i was 16 I was diagnosed with a spinal disease. At the time, I was just happy someone finally found what was causing all of my pain. Now, I am 22 and wish someone would actually fix the problem. I went to so many doctors, it was crazy. People always trust doctors, but they are just human like the rest of us. They make mistakes! If you don't feel happy with your diagnosis, see another doctor. See as many as you need until it makes sense to YOU. You know your body better than anyone. Nomatter how many degrees that doctor has, those degrees are not from studying you. It is so hard to just live a normal life when you have a health problem. I am on so many meds that I cant even go out and party like a normal college student, because they give me drug tests. I have to watch my alcohol intake, because it makes the meds worse. My point is, that you have a long bumpy road ahead of you. Noone is going to take it easy on you because of your heart. They just expect me to do just as much as the next girl. I though someone would see that It is s struggle just to get dressed in the morning, and they would say its ok if shes 5 minutes late. But NO! The world is awful. Anyways. Its your life, you have to fight for it. If you dont think your meds are working the way they should say something to your doctor. If he doesnt want to help, find someone who will. There are tons of medicines out there. Try them all if you have to. You deserve to be as happy as possible. Ask about surgeries, is there anything that they can do to fix it? Tell them that you dont want to stay this way forever. Your best bet may be a teaching hospital. We have one here, it is Vanderbuilt in Nashville TN. They do experiements, and new diffrent things. That way if nothing works that everyone else is trying, then those hospitals will give you experimental drugs. I am not trying to freak you out. Its just I know what your going through. I have wasted years just taking meds to cover up the pain. Im tired. I want to be fixed.I dont want you to make the same mistakes I did. Dont settle for this life you have now. Find a doctor that is intrested in quality of life.Its ruining my life and I need advice?
    Your best bet is to talk to doctors because they will be the most informed.


    No, it is not good to stay on medication because you will begin to rely on them even if they are not working.


    It may be something in your diet (don't base your problems on my answers (Im not a doctor)).


    I really hope you get your problems fixed and can live a normal life.
    if your meds are not working talk to your doctor. there is most likely another med that will help u with your heart problem. it may not have the same side affects as the one your taking now but there wil be side affects with any med u take. hope i could help!





    %26gt;.%26lt;
    maybe get a second opinion and if it is a valve get it repaired thru surgery
    try a second opinion from another doctor
    Listen to jim. I watched a show were the girl was going to the same doctor over and over again for major headaches everyday till the point were she had to lay on the couch all day for 2yrs. Then she when to another doctor and they said that She has a dieases and she needs to take on pill everyday so Ya. haha Go to another doctor or go to a cardiovascular specialist.





    Hope this helps (it really doesn't though)

    The drug you are on is called a beta blocker which is why you are feeling so worn out. As for the b/p, rythm problem, I would like to know if you by chance have been on any ADHD meds during your life. MVP is no big deal, I have it myself along with millions of people have it and don't even know it. The big deal comes when you have it and an arrythmia problem, this increases your risk to form clots and throw them off causing possible stroke,heart attack, P.E. or just and tissue death related to blood thrombosis. You must have V-tac with intermit V- fib, thats just an educated guess with the information you have provided. The only other option would be to treat you with a calcium chanel blocker, but would really have to know what your EKG looks like to try to guess why these are not being used on your. Beta blockers are great because the help keep b/p down and heart rate. Sorry to tell you, you probably will have to take heart medication for the rest of your life you don't just get fixed by a month or two of treatment. YOU SHOULD DISCUSE THESE ISSUES WITH YOUR DOCTOR, SO THAT HE CAN PROPERLY GUIDE YOUR PLAN OF CARE, WHETHER THAT BE CHANGE OF MEDICATIONS OR WHAT. On the note sure being on a med for such a long time is not good. WHAT IS BAD IS TO SELF CHANGE CARDIAC MEDICATIONS, IF YOU GO OFF THE BETA BLOCKER WITHOUT WEIN WITH HELP YOU COULD GO INTO VFIB AND DIE. SO IF YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH YOU BEING THE BRAINS OF YOUR CARDIAC CARE OVER THAT OF A DOCTOR THAT WENT TO COLLEGE AND MED SCHOOL, PASSED BOARDS AND HAS YEARS OF PRACTICE. THEN BY ALL MEANS GO A HEAD AFTER ALL IT ';WAS'; YOUR LIFE.

    I suck at life...in need of advice?

    Over the past several years I'm becoming more socially awkward and don't realize it until I lose my friends. (ex. I can never say the right thing at the right time, I'm getting worse at starting or keeping conversation). I moved to where I live about 4 months ago and it seems like all of my friends are going away. Will you help me learn how to keep them? I think I just get weird because I have social anxiety and it's obvious. Even this one girl that I thought I was good friends with used to hang out with me a pretty good bit and she was supposed to call me this past weekend to have dinner or something, but never did. That was fine, but she came to my house last night to hang with one of my roommates friends and didn't even tell me she was coming or talk to me. She didn't even apologize and she is a very nice girl. I tried to get the other girls to accept me, but they never did, and I always feel uncomfortable around them. Please help me out! How can I get my friends back?I suck at life...in need of advice?
    sounds like they weren't real friends in the first place.
