      Well, Ron,  I have to respect what you say as you were in the Corps and 
actually worked embassy detail.  But, I , too, was in the Corps.  I never was 
with an Embassy detail but I saw some of the inexperienced twits that were 
sent for Embassy duty.  If you have read any of the news some years back 
there were a number of dustups involving clueless Embassy Marine guards. In 
deference to you, though, I will withdraw from this particular discussion.

&nbsp;&nbsp; Security at the embassy will probably be the same miserable 'non-security that the U.S. has guarded our Embassy's with for years.&nbsp; There will be 3-4 Marines and most of them will be kids just out of boot camp.&nbsp; I will be interested in your report. 
 
&nbsp;&nbsp; Yes, this is 'off-topic' but I don't consider the security of our country to be off-topic.

By the way, the Marine Corps NEVER uses 'kids just out of boot camp' on the MSG program.
