Careful. I've heard, and been noticing that the monitors across the board are on a head hunt for Marines that have been in the same geographical location for 8+ years. They are cutting them orders when eligible to "other" places. I don't really get it because there is enough out here to keep a Marine versatile across the board. I think they are just bitter because they are stuck in a cubicle in VA for the time being...

Yeah, the monitor came by last week. I wanted to see him so I can get out of the school house. I stayed away though because some people were getting orders to 29 Palms.

Everyone that I know that has been here 8+ is either going to Hawaii, 29 Palms, or back east. Just thought I would put it out there to see if anyone else has noticed the trend, and as a warning to not bring attention to yourself if you have been here a while. I'm not sure what has spawned this, but hopefully it passes. I wouldn't mind finishing my career out here, but that may just be me...

The assignment policies are out of control. I'll use me as an example; got selected for promotion and was told I would PCA in the local area since I had less than two year TOS and there were other newly selected personnel that had been at Camp Lejeune for 6 plus years and would move. Fast forward 5 months and I get orders to Camp Pen. WTF?! We left NC with less than 23 months TOS. There is a silver lining and that is the fact that we are here and enjoying the heck out of it.

I'm not in the military, but I do have a pendleton story.
When I was a kid, my parents would take us camping at Doheny or San Clemente. I remember "the adults" saying that they always had to lock ice chests in the car, because the marines would come steel them for beer. I'd guess it was the special ops guys haha
