Rocky C is back!

We are pleased to announce that Rocky C has been appointed www.leatherneck.com Forum Administrator effective Monday, November 16th 2015. Rocky C has been a part of the forums on Leatherneck.com since 2006 previously serving as Administrator. We are ecstatic to have him back in this role.

I am the Chief Operating Officer of www.leatherneck.com. I have a long history of service working with the Marine Corps, not as a Marine. For six of the seven years the Marines were in NASCAR, they were on my team. I am currently the Chief Marketing Officer of the Young Marines, a Washington DC based youth drug demand reduction program started by Marines in 1959.

Our vision for the Leatherneck.com Forums is quite simple. To provide relevant content and discussion with our current Leatherneck.com family and engage recently separated Marines and their family members as well as Active Duty and Reserve Marines currently serving.

Please join me in welcoming Rocky C back!

Gary Weisbaum
Chief Operating Officer

Welcome back to Rocky-- finally this site will have some sanity to it after a lack thereof for month after month, where nothing got done, the previous owner was completely and utterly oblivious to needs and suggestions. Rocky C was what held the site together, and when he left it fell apart, like a ship without a rudder trying to navigate an ocean.

Thank you to the new and very interested owner of Leatherneck.com

Billy, you dread getting old? Hell, you are old! Leave Ed alone; it was a logical post considering his mental problems.

As far as Gary W.? If he could put up with Bobby Hamilton Jr.s crap in NASCAR; he is perfect for this forum

I don't know about Dave, Ed, and Russ having one foot in the grave; especially Dave He's a personal friend of Mother Teresa's and posts like a priest. He's all goody two shoes. He tried to make P Jones into a gay guy so he could convert him. Go figure!

Hahahahaha. I'm reading some of the posts here and I'll tell you what, some things don't change LOL :)


Good Afternoon Brothers and Sisters, Family & Friends.

It's so good to be back as your Forum Administrator of our Leatherneck Family here.
I've missed you all and although I was here on a limited basis and kept in touch with many via phone and pm it's full swing ahead now once again.

A huge thank you to Gary W for everything he has done for me, the forum and the United States Marine Corps !!!.

It's great when an owner and myself share a vision of how the forum should be run, it's features and it's future for the benefit of it's members because without you we would not be here.

As always your input is what makes us a " Community " and I welcome your suggestions as we go forward together.

Lastly I would like to thank the few remaining Squad Leaders and techs ( That's you Tom ), and of course our Chief Operating Officer Gary W, that kept boots on the ground to keep the forum running as best it could.

Exciting times ahead for leatherneck.com and it starts today !!!

Ok, I don't want to get all teary eyed so I'll stop here. ( I know we lost some members but forever they remain in our hearts and minds )........


BTW, I noticed some Jackwagon deleted most of my world famous threads, they will be re-created !!! Good stuff, fun times !!! I will leave it at that for now......

If you need me, you know where to find me :)

Rocky is back 2 days and the site is already improved, with new threads, and someone to actually do something about problems, someone to listen to complaints, fix things, work on things. Needless to say, before Monday, we couldn't even find any admin folks to change a poolee's status to Marine six months after he finished boot camp.

USMC 2571
11-18-15, 03:37 PM
There were people on this site who went to boot camp, graduated, went to their MOS school, then duty stations, made Staff Sergeant and were still listed as "Poolee" or "Marine Friend". Someone else was promoted to Sergeant Major and still had the designation "poolee" same as the day he joined this site.

USMC 2571
11-18-15, 03:57 PM
(The two squad leaders who kept this place going in Rocky's absence were FoxtrotOscar and Zulu 36. Rocky thanked them on another thread, but they deserve a thank you from the entire site membership.)

Gary; what ever happened to Bobby Hamilton Jr.?

Gary W
11-19-15, 07:00 AM
Bobby Jr, his wife Stephanie and daughter Haley still live outside of Nashville and Bobby Jr. is racing again. He had been out of the sport for a while, not because he wanted to but because sponsorship is very hard to find these days and established teams wanted younger or better drivers. I think he is running in ARCA now. I keep up with them on FB.
Thanks for asking!

Within minutes

11-19-15, 07:20 PM
Reasons? Rocky cares about the site and the members on the site. He listens. He does things that need to be done. He doesn't ignore requests to do this or that. He pays attention to the site at all times, does not think he's too good to mix in with folks, and is a great administrator, and this is in sharp contrast to a ship without a rudder in a storm at sea, riding the waves and liable to crash into the rocky shore at any second. No wonder changes are seen within minutes.

I agree with all that's been posted. It's good to have Rocky back because he is a good administrator and a good people person. However, it is also refreshing that the COO re; Gary W. is involved. I have the feeling that if I get banned or given a time out that I'll know the reason why.

USMC 2571
11-19-15, 08:27 PM
Well, Mitch, from what I've seen in 2 short days, Gary W is just as dedicated as Rocky, about the site, how it's run, etc, very hands on but not in a micro-management way at all, just someone who cares about the site, and that is the main thing as far as I'm concerned.

Rocky C
11-20-15, 06:18 AM
Damn I got tears Brothers....Nice words, thank you.

I can't say enough great things about Gary. He lets me run the forum with my new team of just 5 Squad Leaders and trusts my judgement on all matters. We have a great friendship, collaboration, the same vision for the forum and that is why it works.

I'm ecstatic to be back and looking forward to all the great things to come.

Bloop, you da man. I missed you Brother. H*ll , I missed you all ( almost all ) lol...

Ok, I got things to do here.
