Not necessarily. It will depend on what your job is in the corp and were your unit is assigned.

Most will go to Iraq or Afghanistan. Although the main goal of the Marine Corp is to provide first in-first out services (they are the ones in front but usually don't do sustained fighting like today).
A friend in the Marine Corp spent his entire 4 year stint as a personal trainer in a gym in Hawaii!

No, they'll be assigned wherever the Corps needs their particular skills. But - in the corps, every man is a rifleman - so if need be, even the cooks and the clerks can be sent into battle.

No, it depends on your MOS and where you are stationed. There is a chance that a Marine could get stationed at a nondeployable unit. Their sole purpose is to support the students who will be deployed down the road. The only way to get deployed from a nondeployable duty station is if the President himself says so

I spent 8 years active duty.
from 1997-2005.
never went to combat. Not by design.. it just worked out that way. I was a combat correspondent 4341.. spent 4 years writing for a newspaper / taking photos and 4 years as a marketing 'director' for a recruiting station.

There are some marines who are cooks, who are clerks, who pack parachutes and more.
