What are you doing now:

Lawyer in West Memphis, Arkansas. Licensed in Tennessee (2007) and Arkansas (2007), and admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, and the United States District Court for the Eastern and Western Districts of Arkansas. I belong to the Sgt. Walter K. Singleton Post, American Legion, Memphis, TN. 214 M48A3 Main Battle Tank - I was driving one of these before I even had my first car! 275 I belong the the Marine Corps Interrogator Translator Association. Since this MOS no longer exists in the United States Marine Corps, this organization was formed as a "Last-Man Standing" fraternity of Marines who have at one time held the 0251 MOS. www.mcitta.org

   
Other Comments:

Held the following MOSs: 1811 - Tank Crewman (M48A3 & M60A1) 0151 - Administration (Additional MOS) 0251 - Interrogator Translator (Arabic-Egyptian; Persian-Farsi; Norwegian languages) 0231 - Intelligence Analyst (Additional MOS) My primary MOS no longer exists in the Regular Marine Corps. About 2002 the Interrogator Translator MOS (0251) was discontinued (except as a Reserve MOS) and all remaining Interrogator Translators on active duty were absorbed into the Counterintelligence (0211) MOS. Good things in life - Retirement, the Vietnam Era GI Bill, and self-sufficiency. Love fly fishing - built my own split-bamboo rod; tie my own flies.

In Memory of Gunnery Sergeant Ronald E. Baum, United States Marine Corps Killed in action in Al Anbar Province, Iraq on May 3, 2004, during an ambush when his vehicle was hit by a rocket propelled grenade. Gunnery Sergeant Baum was an Interrogator Translator who was redesignated a Counterintelligence Marine. Thank you Gunny for your sacrifice. You are and will be missed.
