MAINTAINING A SMALL ANGLICO FORUM AT www.1anglico.org ANGLICO Marines and Sailors are welcome, and those who fought by our sides as well. Three Korean Marines are on board, as well as other US Marines and Corpsmen who were detached to the same units. Historians are welcome, basically anyone who is interested in ANGLICO history, especially those who can help to document it. Our official history is often not documented, or full of errors as our teams are detached to US and allied forces, and those who record the history are often far removed from the battlefield. It's up to us to set the record straight.

FOR MARINES ABOUT TO BE, OR RECENTLY DISCHARGED:
(the New GI Bill will make this extra cash even better)
If you are about to be or were recently honorably discharged and are thinking about taking advantage of the GI Bill (you should), and if you like the outdoors, you like sciences, and you can tolerate math, consider a career in geology.
NEWS ALERT FOR YOUNG MARINES! The Raymond Ben Shawn Endowed Scholarship Fund for Marines is available to a Marine veteran who is interested in pursuing a degree in geology/geophysics at the University of Oklahoma, the world's first geology school to offer a petroleum geology curriculum.
You are good at reading maps, visualizing, innovating, setting goals, and overcoming obstacles. If you also like science and can stomach math, then this might be your ticket to a fun career. You are a leader among men, guided by unshakable core principles. You can deal with the suits or the roughnecks equally well, and you have tremendous potential as a future corporate leader after years of experience, either as a scientist or as an executive, whereever your heart takes you.
Possible career paths for geologists include all kinds of exploration geology (oil & gas, coal, metallic & nonmetallic minerals, and groundwater), environmental geology (large emphasis on regulations), geological support for construction activities (engineering geology), and more. Some who earn undergraduate degrees in geology go on to pursue advanced degrees in other fields such as architecture and law.
This fund is intended to augment the G. I. Bill and make life a little easier for a Marine returning to school.
The scholarship award criteria are atypical for universities, and more in line with Marine Corps values. Grades are important, but more important criteria at the outset include such things as your DD-214, your USMC service, the Combat Action Ribbon, the Purple Heart, and PTSD. A Marine will be on the scholarship award committee to keep the profs squared away.
It's not a big scholarship but a little extra cash on top of the GI Bill should make life easier.
