On reading about Alpha Co 1st Bn 5th Marines being the "boat company" of the 1st Bn 5th Marines.

I was reading about a Sergeant of Marines in Foxtrot 2nd Bn 1st Marines, who is a leader of the "trailer platoon".
I met this young Marine at Parris Island in 2000.
I was digging on information about the "trailer platoon".
It's the security in urban welfare and they been doing a lot of marksmanship training in urban welfare.
Much like the FAST Companies.

The "boat company" does a lot training that Recon did before.

All this termnology is throwing me for a loop.

We can't keep abreast of this "new breed".

Such are the ways of the "old breed".

"But a Constitution of Government,
Once changed from Freedom,
Can never be restored.
Liberty, once lost, is lost forever."
~ John Adams ~

Freedom
"Those who take freedom for granted,
Would be dependent,
On those brave souls,
Who are willing to pay the price for it.
And the price of freedom,
Will be paid at times unexpected,
By heroes,
Who didn't know they were."

For ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall set you free.

“The only requirement for evil to flourish,
Is for good men to do nothing”
~ Edmund Burke ~

"A man is measured by the imprint he leaves behind".
