A Day in the Life of an Infantry Corporal
Cpl. Charles Kristel is blunt and authoritative but also respected. Kristel, a Schenectady, N.Y., native was wounded during his previous deployment to Afghanistan. A stocky, deep-voiced man of few words, many unrepeatable in print, Kristel joined the military at the age of 20. After only three and a half years in the Marine Corps, he's elevated himself to a position of leadership through strength of will, demonstrated competence and unbending character.

Men like him are the core of the Corps. Semper Fi.
I was so proud the day I picked up corporal. Best rank ever. Semper fi

Yeah, crossing that NCO threshold was pretty cool. The officers may make it 'rock', but the Marine Corps NCO's make it 'roll'! The backbone and sinew of the Corps!

SEMPERFI brother, we r indeed the bac, bone, of our CORP. cpl, 1/2. 3rd platoon.
Semper Fi!
Marines are tough.
People like these are the reason I get extremely offended when some foreigner has the balls to bash the US and even worse when an American bashes America and calls the country names. I'd pay money to see one of these people say that to the face of a military person.
Yeah, Marine corporals make it rock! Did not like getting my blood stripe though!
What unit Kristel? 2/2 Warlord right up the road from ya.
Good deal.
Same rank as I was. Corporal
Do many enlisted Infantry Marines serve 20 years?

The amount of time you serve will depend on how many times you re-enlist, if any. It is not MOS specific.

In my experience the majority of us Infantry Marines do our 1 enlistment and then think the grass is greener on the outside, so I would say 1 and done overall.
Not matter what, I’m going to be in the Corp. But I just can’t decide whether or not to enlist after college or to shoot for an officer commission. While the pay is high for an officer, and allows for more growth, enlisting as a corporal gives me access to opportunities such as scout sniper school, I just can’t decide. (And I know I may be getting a little ahead of myself.)

No. The weapon you are issued depends on the Table of Organization billet you are fulfilling.

My son left a Cpl. He had a tendency to do Marine things while off duty. Even with the assistance of the Navy brig and MPs, it took him a while to stop being so much like his Dad and Grandfather (who, as Pvt. 1st in the Army, still directed the telephone rewiring of Berlin during the occupation. My Dad had the distinction of making Cpl several times.)
