Hey 2571 I remember all that even the swoop circle. But that was after I got there from MCRD San Diego via Pendelton. And I was a Radio Telegraher just till I got to Nam. They don't even teach Morse...

Hey wookie, I was told there are only 4 kinds of Marines.
1) Active duty
2)reserve
3) retired
4) Marine veterans.
That pretty much covers it.

MCRD San Diego May '69. Anyone here was there too? Plt 1082. Got put on a Congressional hold becaus esome clown named O'neill said he got beat by the DIs.

The more of these I read the greyer my hair is getting. LOL It may not be old enough for all of you but does anyone remember when they made greasy kids stuff? It was a take off of Vitalis ads.
And I...

Good thing you aren't in school today or they would have the cops taking you and that cap gun away LOL

Don't know about this guy so I assume he is talking about PI. In San Diego in May '69 there were 4 digit platoons, I was 1082.
But still not as bad as the guy I saw who posted he was in boot camp in...

When did you know him Old Marine? And where? The Sterling I knew was a DI at San Diego when I went thru in May '69.

Well after Nam neither one of them seemed to want to have anything to do with us calling us losers. Not actually facing the fact that we DID NOT lose in VietNam but the politicians gave it away and...

I've posted before and didn't get any answers so I'm trying again. I know there are some of you old goats left out there besides me. How about a shout out. Does anyone remember Enest Paul the big...

Geez after readin this I am OLD! LOL

Ban any weapon and you infringe on my rights. If a few Marine want to own them I see no problem since Marines know what to do with them and how to handel them. And who knows when they may be needed...

I miss it all the time. Younger Marines will be the same way. Now I go thru life dealing with mouthy sh*t birds that someone said coould be a manger and they can't find their butts with a flashlight...

Hey Old Marine, I was at MCRD in '68. Did you know S/Sgts Sterling or Napier or Gunny Maglaughlin? I still think those guys were the best Marines it has been my privledge to have known

Now that's one of the things that make Marines a legend!

Screw the Parks Dept. Marines still take care of their own.

Welcome home brother! Semper Fi!

Another one????? Why don't they just join up and serve?

White it was in San Diego in May 69

I couldn't figure out where to put this but I really don't like this new set up. You can't find anything and looking for the forums is a real problem. Why can't we keep the good things and go back to...

You guys make me hungry thinking about all the great chow we had. I remember some of the best food was while with the Navy but I think the best was at Air Force base outside Tokyo. One of the best...

This brings back a lot of good memories. In boot camp they thought they had to "beef" me up a bit. Extra potatoes at every meal and double cottage cheese at lunch anc dinner and I had to finish...

Somebody said there is no Tabasco?????? Texas Pete???? We all know what comes from Texas. This really must be a new Corps with no Tabasco

Rip Mr. Clark. I had the pleasure of meeting him and doing some work for him in the 80s. What a wonderful man and his wife was such a lovely lady. He will be missied by those who saw him growing up.

Back in the day you could get what you wnated and go back for seconds on vegetables bread and potaotes but never meat. But then we had KP and we had our own cooks and we, like the other service...

Yep, started mixing them when I got out in '72
