Combat?

MA's have an Antiterrorism role (deter the bad guy) while the cool-guy units do Counterterrorism (go find the bad guy and stab him in the face). We don't "close with and destroy the enemy". If you get a chance to go K9 you can get attached to various cool guy units and possibly see some stuff. Or you can get stuck on a base, just a more spartan one than you would otherwise see. We've had quite a few K9 MA's give their lives in the GWOT.

If you want to see combat the way to do that is going to be USMC/Army infantry. Generally speaking (again, unless you're a SEAL) combat isn't something the dirt navy actively pursues.
