Welcome to Grunt's, sir. If you don't mind me asking - what do you do in the Spanish Marine Reserves?

We Spain Marine Corps reservists can not serve in the UOE (Unidad de Operaciones Especiales/Special Operations Unit) or in the Expeditionary Force rifles companys.
We reservists can serve in, for example, the Expeditionary Force logistic group -drivers, paramedics, etc.-, in the naval stations security units -rifles companys-, in the workshops, in the offices, in the recruitment centers, etc.

I jumped on your web. You have an impressive looking outfit. Have you seen any action?

Negative, John, I have been never in a combat zone in overseas.
The Government of Spain, usually, prefers to send professional Marines, you know.
