It is possible that he was at F.F.A.S.T. at some point but I dont think he was.

He claimed to have been there for four [4] years and though it may be possible, you only serve at F.F.A.S.T. for two years[I know of one scenario that will pretty much insure you remain for four [4] years but I will let him explain his position first before I say what it is.].

LOL...I cant remember a whole lot of people from the fleet and truth be told I dont remember the F.F.A.S.T. Company CO but I do remember the XO.

You are expressly not allowed to divulge other members of the Company. To me I really dont think it is a big deal but I am sure that some of the officers who were there would differ.

He didnt answer any simple questions I put to him. Fundemental things to F.F.A.S.T. Marines such as what you are required to sign before being accepted into F.F.A.S.T. or simple questions about the Security Force School itself[things you cant pull off the web].

But thanks for responding.

General rule of thumb is that all 'Special Duty' only lasts two years, as I recall... but I also remember that Marine institutions were changing a lot under Al Gray.

For instance: I remember School of Infantry always being called 'SOI', but I was in the first class to graduate from 'MCT'. Later, they went back to calling it 'SOI'. When I got a FNG in my squad reporting in from something called 'Camp Devil Dog MCTTA', I just stared at him and said 'Um, what?'.
