Evidently, we were aboard the USS Alamo together during Operation Fortress Lightning 1977 at the same time. I saw some of your profile pics that were nearly exactly the same as the ones I lost 30 years ago. Thank you for posting them. I am new at this so it is new to me! I have laughed, cried, reflected and cried some more! Semper-Fi!

Hey bud. Great posts in the Newt topic.Good to have someone I agree with.

I'm New to this site...
but our dates of service overlap. I was at SanDiego in Boot May 76- Aug 76 then to ITS at Pendleton and sent to Okie to 1/9 at Schwab in 76-77. Went over trained as a L/Cpl 0351 anti-tank assault man/106's...but after a seek there I ended up running the H&S Company Armory for the entire year... even on float. It had some geat memories along with lots of long hours working in the Armory... but no one screwed with us. My CO Capt Beavers had an open door policy with me as his Armorer. So no matter the rank messing with us I could just walk right in to talk with him. He swuared that out in a hurry as the Armory was off limits... in his words leave us be as we had our work to do. Pretty cool Marine Officer and I would have followed him anywhere. I'll be checkin in with ya from time to time Sgt.
