I just registered today after searching for USMC information. This is my first post and I apologize if this isn't where newbie introductions are made. I went through several threads hoping I would run across a name or two that I knew back in my day but no such luck. I was in the USMC from Sep 65 to Apr 69. I later went into the USAF and eventually retired active duty but I will always be proud of my time in the USMC. My USMC history is:

MCRD San Diego, Plt 387, Sep 65 followed by Camp Pendleton
NAS Memphis, Jan 66 to Aug 66, Jet Engine School
RVN, Sep 66 to Apr 68, VMFA 314 and VMFA 115
MCAS Beaufort, Apr 68 to Apr 69. VMFA 333

Welcome--generally, any topic that doesn't fit anywhere else, goes in Open Squad Bay, and there is no specific place for introducing oneself. But welcome to the site!

Welcome to the looney bin.

I was also in boot at San Diego from Sept 1, '65 to November 1, 65.
I was platoon 173.

A great weekend to all....carry on.

I'm disappointed---Wayne usually says, on a Friday, that he's buying, even though it's just cyber-beer.

This is why Foxtrot is a squad leader and I'm not. Not even knowing what day it is.

Hey...you're entitled to a daft moment on occasion!

OP probably figures he joined a bonified phsych ward.
Not to worry OP...we're all Olive Drab in here.

Hey Brother FoxTrot....good catch. :)

Back to the welcoming process.....

No way Brother Blooper.....not from this old bird.
I'm glad to be a minute contributor to this gaggle of old survivors.

Hell...things could be worse....I'm sure we're doing better than this guy that I just finished a song about:
