Tony J asked:


My brother died recently. He was in the marines about 20 years ago. I want to get into his e-mail account to get the addresses of his friends and let them know. The only problem is, I don’t know his password. I do know that is security question is “What was my boot camp job?”. Anyone who knows the names of boot camp jobs, please list as many as you know and I’ll try them all. One thing, my brother wasn’t very big, so it was probably a job they gave to smaller guys.

Thank you

    Are you sure about that. You say hes job at boot camp. Might it be the job he got out of boot camp. Have you ever heard him speak of a MOS. Also speak to your parents ask them if they have his platoon book it has a lot of information in it. Also your parents can tell you the month year and weather he was a Hollywood Marine or gator bate. Then it will be all records Good luck and sorry about our loss of a good Marine.
