Australia has agreed to host a full US Marine task force in the coming years, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has announced at a news conference with US President Barack Obama in Canberra.

She said about 250 US Marines would arrive next year, eventually being built up to 2,500 personnel.

The deployment is being seen as a move to counter China's growing influence.

Freaking awesome!

If all goes according to the plan I've set up with my recruiter I'll be at boot in August 7th. What I'd give to be sent to Australia that would freaking rock !

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.
