Where I work there is a new hire who I found out is a Marine. I introduced myself to him and told him of my son. He asked me if I had ever been to Camp Lejeune and parts surrounding the Camp. He...

Smells fishy. Too many good people out there to waste time on shady characters.

Hey Gary I'm sure that you've run into guys that claim to be a black belt but can't remember the basics or the first thing about the discipline.

They "won their black belt on a secret CIA mission in Columbia but their certificate got burned up in a fire." ;)

Bad JuJu there Gary. He has a bit of male bovine excrement emanating from him, IMHO.

Some things you just don't forget.

At least he's a new hire.

I would also state BS....there somethings you may forget or want to forget,but you don't forget battalions or regiments. Ask him if he says "Goodnight to Chesty Puller" if not he just twisting a tittie!:evilgrin:

There is always his immediate supervisor , who happens to be an "Old Salt" with a Marine Corps license plate and all but I do believe that I will not press the matter.
Bad JuJu? Whoa, bigal, I haven't heard that term since the late 60's- early 70's. LOL

Fifty one years since graduation from MCRDSD, and I may not be able to tell you what happened yesterday but I can sure tell you almost every thing from the first day at boot camp to and including the day of separation from the corp and of course every command and duty station,and some other I can only tell you in person over a few pitchers of beer.


over a number of pitchers of beer. Semper Fi

I dunno, about not pressing the matter, but if he opened up again, there are so many questions to ask that he HAS to know. Your call.



Bet you also remember Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead!!!:cool:

My brother used to know, back then, the owners of the silk screen company that reproduced all the Grateful Dead T-shirts. I had a bunch of the flawed t-shirts. They were just neat looking t-shirts to me. What the heck did I know. Yes, I did see them play together during their heyday.

I agree, He is full of BS. Wonder if he can remember where he went to boot camp? You know he's a fraud if he can't answere that one.

Hey Rayh, where's your crossed rifles on your chevron? or is it just my computer that's screwed up?

And can't remember what unit his brother is in after 10 years. I could understand MAYBE not remembering the platoon or company, but certainly the batalion, regiment and division.

Well fellas I have to disagree with you. I went through PI in 1954, my last duty station that I can remember was 1st Marine Brigade, wpns co 2ed bn. My mos was 1375 demo spec. I can`t even find anyone who knows anything about 1st brigade. but I remember my service number 1485912.

When I first joined this site and was filling out my profile I had to seriously search the memory bank to get all the details right. I'll never forget my platoon number or units assigned but details on dates ect seem to elude me. My brother just retired from the AF last year and I'll be damned if I can name a single unit he was assigned to. Shoot I can't even name half the bases he was assigned.

that was in '54 too. this kid got out in 2006. Unless he has a short term memory problem he is full of crap.
