You know what's crazy? The Marines ran the waterways for like three years in Iraq from active then to reserves. Then the navy took over the job. Then i finally seen something about the boats in a (im sorry) Soilder of Fortune magazine. What the hell? Just joking around. I hope you dudes kick some ass around 825ish. And mayby we coulda got in a cool guy mag if a recruiter wasn't our squad leader.
Does anyone know what HM's do on this kind of duty? When we do duty w/ the marines we patrol w/ them and are an essential part of that unit just like every other marine. Do HM's on riverine do patrols too, or are they stuck doing sick call for an eight month tour in Iraq?
I hate to break the news to you bud, but once you get in basic you are locked into your job for at least 2 years (it doesn't matter what your recruiter told you), your only other option is to drop out of A-school and go undesignated to a ship where you will discover the joys of painting and chipping. From what I understand you have to have a rate that's applicable to the riverines (ie boatswains mate Gunners mate), even then its a niche job and you'd be damn lucky to get selected.
We miss you, Josh! We hope you and your fellow Riverines are safe and come home soon. Thanks for your committment to our great country. You guys are awesome. Happy Fourth of July!

Unless you are a Marine then you have no room to talk. And if you are, just remember who gets you to the beach...
