I am considering joining the reserves, notably, the Marine Corps Reserve. Does anyone with USMC, or heck, any experience know if the USMC reserve is that much "different" then say USAR? Thanks.

There are some unique advantages: all Marines go through the same boot camp. From the commandant on down to the private in a listening post. So there's just one Marine Corps culture, and you're part of it, whether you're active or reserve. It's a great fraternity that lasts for the rest of your life. The Army isn't really like that. There are different cultures for the different branches. That's not bad, it's just different. I have a great respect for Army Special Ops communities. Army armor, cavalry and infantry branches have have great traditions. But for me, I'm a Marine, and I will be until I die. Semper Fi

Its a good deal - I did 5 yrs active duty and am in my 5th year as a Reservist. USMC reserves have provent the ability to be ready when activated. 4th LAR Bn has been called up during GW I and OIF I and both times did well. They are starting up new reserve companies in NY and SC.
