Once you create your Signature over there you will see a box at the top of the page "The following code displays your signature using BB code"

Copy that into your signature control here (http://www.leatherneck.com/forums/profile.php?do=editsignature).

[yellowwing]

The only thing I don't like is how freakin humble my ribbon bar is!

[egbutler1]

Alright ill break it down Barney style for all the SNCOs out there lol. When you get to the site up top there will be like a register/login deal. Hit register type in your info, than it should ask you to login. Use that info and login with it. Than click the Marine Corps Insignia, fill it out how you want remember for ribbons if you have a bronze star or any devices click the "Select Attachments" deal right below the ribbon than after you select you device hit "Set Attachments" than head down a bit more once your done and click "Create Signature" a little exploding bomb deal will pop up for a second or two than your signature will show. Than take the BB code highlight it all copy it "Ctrl C" (Apple C) than come back on to leatherneck sign in go to "My Info" than edit your signature and paste the BB Code into the box "Ctrl V" (Apple V). Save it all and you should be good to go. Semper Fidelis Marines, this is basic but you should be able to navigate you way threw it all with my instructions. KILL!

Thanks Gunny. It turned out OK

[erased]

Thanks Gunny. Good lookin' out.

[maverickmarine]

Outstanding! Thanks Gunny.

[BR34]

Judging by all of your sigs I guess if we ever got together I'd be on working party!

[usmchauer]

Great site!

[PatriotGirl422]

One day when I actually have some rank/ribbons I might make one for myself! They look great!

[gunnyhiles]

In 1977 I had 2 ribbons, good conduct and national defence. In 1975 I had 11.

[Quinbo]

Gunny ... Please re-read your post. To a layman it reads that you lost 9 ribbons in two years.

[SGT7477]

You just have to be in the right place at the right time.:flag:

[Quinbo]

So true.... I would say out of all the ribbons I display that there are only two that aren't right place right time medals or ribbons. The Navy Achievement Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. It's not what's on your chest that counts anyway. It is what is in your chest.

[gunnyhiles]

Mmm, how best to indicate winning 9 more?

[Quinbo]

Respectfully....
You said that in 1977 you had two ribbons and in 1975 you had 11.

Now look here Sergeant, you and everyone else should KNOW what the Gunny meant so lets go for a little run, full combat gear, sand in packs!:evilgrin:

[Quinbo]

Gunny please allow the impudance of a Sergeant. I try my best to learn from my seniors so I must question at times certain things.

How did you do 5 tours in vietnam from 66-67?

First, somewhere along the line I got may dates wrong. Second, if you refer to the Vietnam yellow ribbon, normally a ribbon counts as 1<SUP>st</SUP> award and each star counts as another. With this ribbon the stars indicate major campaigns my unit was involved in. I was in H&S Co. III MAF outside Da Nang. Our CAP unit was tasked with protecting
"The Friendly’s" if there were any.

[Quinbo]

Respectfully

I must also inquire why you have only 5 good conduct medals?
I do not wish to put you on the grill gunny but I am curious. Thanks for your response.

[gunnyhiles]

Each Good Conduct is awarded after 5 years of service. In this case the ribbon counts as 1 and the stars 4 more for 20 years. My hashmarks are the same.
One of my classes I taught in K-Bay was Uniform Regs., I still remember them fairly well as well as Medals and Awards. Love answering inquiring minds:marine:

[Quinbo]

Inquiring minds want to know what course of instruction you taught in K-bay and what was the name of the highway between K-bay and honolulu?

[Quinbo]

Things sure do change. I am not doubting your credibility but do want to pick your mind. When did the term of the good conduct go from 5 years to 3 years?

[gunnyhiles]

At that time 68-71 there were 2 tunnels, the Pali and Likelike, usually pronounced as Like Like by Haoles.

I shot the Pali many a night. Stopped at the lookout where the wind blows so hard with a buddy after drinking a tad much. Stepped over the stone wall to pee, was new there and didn't realize the wind was blowing up. Took a quick pee shower.

I taught close order drill, the M-79 grenade launcher, pistol m1911A1, remember what the A1 was? Assisted in tactics, mapping&compass (Before GPS) and all other classes pertaining to NCO's and SNCO's.

[Quinbo]

you're on my buddy list gunny

[gunnyhiles]

Things sure do change. I am not doubting your credibility but do want to pick your mind. When did the term of the good conduct go from 5 years to 3 years?

Another date and time mistake, the award is for any 3 years of continuous active service. In my case of 5X3 = 15, my papers show a period where I got office hours.
Now as to "(I am not doubting your credibility but). Is there any purpose behind your line of questioning?

I would be most happy to scan and provide any documents you feel necessary to satisfy your "Inquiring" mind.:marine:

[gunnyhiles]

you're on my buddy list gunny

If still on active duty are you with the Embassy Marines, and your on my Buddy list too!

[Quinbo]

Gunny ... there is no need to scan anything. There are so many that come to this site that are fakers that a painful introduction ensues. I apologize and glad to have you here.

Some time my fingers and memory are not in step. Now about the M1911A1, what was the A1?

[Quinbo]

I'm guessing it was a jeep with 4X4

[gunnyhiles]

I'm guessing it was a jeep with 4X4
The M1911A1 Cal. 45 was the primary handgun before the 9mm issued I guess still today. The 1911 indicated when built, the A1 indicates 1 modification, anyone want to give the modification?

[Zulu 36]

I know the answer to the M1911A1 question, but I'll leave it for some younger Marine to research.

Before anyone complains about my ribbons, some of them are Air Farce. The site doesn't have all of the ribbons I rate under the Marine Corps option. I looked like a Third World Dictator anyway thanks to the Air Force.

LOL!! I always thought the same dam thing about them...AND the frikkin Army!! Who in the hell else would rate a shiny little tin uniform badge for just throwing a grenade?! LOL! Thats alright Zulu...you made the right choice in the end, brother!!

Even the Air Force doesn't go that far. But, small arms marksmanship is not considered a major skill set for most AF people (no sh*t), so they only give you a ribbon for shooting expert with either a rifle or pistol. You get one little bronze star device if you shoot expert with the second weapon too. But once earned, you never lose it even if you shoot unq for the rest of your career.

My old Air Guard security police unit took a great deal of pride in our small-arms skills. It was severely frowned upon to wear the expert ribbon if you didn't continue to earn it every year. AF regs be damned. I'm happy to say I never had to take that ribbon off.

I always get in trouble playing silly little word games.

A Marine can be a King in the Third World. Look at that reservist in Somalia.

[gunnyhiles]

In a post you said "It's not what's on your chest that counts anyway. It is what is in your chest." Was a very true and well said comment... Semper Fi Marine!

[thewookie]

Nice site link, thanks Gunny!

Was the Brigade School for NCO/SNCO still there when you were at K-Bay? I was one of the original Instructors.

[CplKJSpevak]

Gunny what's your high game (Bowling)?

http://militarysignatures.com/signatures/member4752.png (http://militarysignatures.com)
Crap, seems like it was in the 280s or low 290s

[gunnyhiles]

I always get in trouble playing silly little word games.
Just got a bowling question. I bowled in Kailua at the Kailua Bowl 68-71. I heard its still there.
Also we had started a league we called "Stars and Stripes". Wonder if its still there.

[CplKJSpevak]

How do I get my military signature to come up everytime without having to keep copy and paste from that site?

[CplKJSpevak]

Gunny, last time I ever bowled (and it was in a league) I bowled a 279...My Uncle Frank, who served in the Corps in Vietnam, Has several 300 games...maybe it just comes natural to Marines :) ........when I as at Camp Lejeune that had a nice big bowling alley in French Creek that no one used so they made it into a Fitness Center (Nice Too!) Ooohrah!

[thewookie]

I'm thinking it was there but it's been a few years, and that's one that I didn't go to so I can't say for sure. SF

I miss Kaneohe/Kaliua everyday!

[TazMatt]

Thanks gunny I am trying my new signature.

[CplKJSpevak]

TazzMatt I was 3051 too!

[yellowwing]

I see a few Marines having problems posting their generated signature image.

The most common problem is the inclusion of a number after the image name:
member0000.png?0000

If you delete the ?0000 part, it should display properly.

[Mastergunz G]

Damn, gotta pay for the last 2 ribbons!
Ah, I'm a cheap bastard, I'll go with what's free!

[Jim Oliver]

Gunny,

I'm trying to get a double signature. I hope it works

[jetdoc]

I decided to use two sig. images because some of the ribbons on one branch didn't transfer to the other and also I was in two branches, so why not use two?

[jetdoc]

Gunny,

I'm trying to get a double signature. I hope it works

For me I uploaded one to my photobucket account and the other I used the insignia from the website. It was ez.
