ggy,

I thought that you might have read the thread...(Not to mention my veiled "First")



That was my reference to a god. Sorry if that offended you, poopsie.

It was intended to bring to...

Fist off, Gary didn't believe in your god.

Secondly, who gives a crap if he died? He was just an actor...

Third, how many vets died today? Did they get their own thread or national attention?

If you think I seriously knock on Grunts then you are mistaken.

Grow some thicker skin, eh?

Grunt.

Although it's kinda' fun watching "Cal" drag people around by their chains...

I gotta' admit that for the most part it has been interesting.

Uh, I knew Marines that were at Beirut, Grenada, and...

Mike made some hard recruits.

Drill Instructor that slept in the rack above me at DIScol (Morillo?) went to Mike. He used to tell me how unusually loyal his recruits were from almost day one. ...

Don't remember many recruits from other Companies but, I do remember the kid who shot himself at the Range. He was FAM firing the pistol, right?

I also remember that during the Congressional...

I knew many of the Drill Instructors in "Murdering Mike" at the time. I was in "I" Company then, but you guys were right across the street. I went to DIScol with quite a few of them..

About a...

What the hell does MY opinion have to do with your idea of what an E-7 should say?

And yes A33hole I am a former active duty Gunnery Sergeant. And, if you really want to go poop in your Depends,...

Uh, try to get over it...



We don't own the image of that uniform. As Sgt Pepper didn't own his.

Heck, Hollywood has been obscuring it since films have been made.

(shrug)

Oops!

Bad eyes for fine print.

(cheesy smile)

Uh, Carry On!

All the more reason to have fun with it. ;) Nothing confrontational.

p.s. I recognize the General (Al) in your pic, WM but, who are the two dudes to his left?

Awright...

For starters, contact and talk to a Marine SNCO/Officer at your closest Reserve Station. Give them a call and explain your situation.

I don't have current knowledge. I just...

That would be a pretty cheese-deick page 11. Take SOME photo IDs, your birth certificate, one of your Dad's license plates, your orders, be in uniform, and walk on your hands into the Admin office...

Better yet...

It is more fun to out-pose the poser.

Tell him something like you were a Cook/EOD, you know, bake things and dis-arm things?

How'za' bout a Band-Sniper? (Tuba during the day,...

I don't know how it is now but, when I went to DIScol SD (1980) they tried to have a good diversity in the PT program.

Sometimes, we'd (40 students) used to suit-up and head out to Pacific Beach...

This thread makes me want to address the Mess and request permission to shed a tear for Lord Admiral Nelson... (standing head-call)

Huh?

When I was in 3rd Battalion (MCRD) over thirty years ago, Hotel Co was 2nd Battalion.
1980 = MCRDSD Hotel Co 2nd Battalion
Again when I was herding recruit cattle in 1990, @MCRDPI, Hotel Co...

Third Battalion, poliz...

Them fukkers prolly broke the plywood one.

Been there thirty years before you. ;)

Uh, get a piece of about 8" x 12" (three quarter-inch) plywood, paint the thing scarlet then trace your RIGHT hand outline on it and paint that gold. Stay in the lines.

Easy beans.

Oh yeah, squish. The Reserves is a good way to go. Less pressure, although there is a chance for more AD time for the Reserves these days.

The Reserve Force was originally intended to take the...

Oops!

I thought there might be something more to your connection, squish.

Although I hate reading profiles, as as a result of my reluctance, I now see...

When I left active duty, I remember...

OUCH!

Yeah but, when you were a Drill Instructor, Sarge, recriuts were still qualifying with flintlocks...

:)

1980: "The Speech" was a mandatory item at pick-up. The SDI had to recite it...

Okay...

Even if that is true. Does he want to be a 32 y/o Corporal?

I just remember my age group. Most of us were selected or promoted to SSgt by age 25-30. Granted, that was 30 years ago...

And right after the speech, all hell breaks loose...

It might be an important addendum to add at the end of the speech in your "I Love Me" book...

SDI turns to the Drill Instructors and says: ...

Best case scenario...

You get accepted and get to return to active duty.
You will lose rank, at least one level from your discharge DD-214. Best case is a new Lance Coolie.
Question is: Do you...
