I agree with all the above entrys. Don't change the Critera for the award. It will short change the warriors that earned it.

I bought a bottle a McDill AFB, last week. The Manager of the package told me that it is popular and that all branches were buying it in support of the charity.

In 1965 there was no Anti-War movement because it just started. Rlt-7 was the first unit from Camp Pen. Some of their units (3/7)were involved in "Operation Starlite" (18 aug 1965). It hit the paper...

Dose the name Ruiz ring a bell. Somewhere it's in my head that he was the LCpl. I think the Lt invited him home or something. The last I heard was years ago he was appealing his death sentence.

In Japan they use human waste to fertilzer the crops. With a long pole and 2 buckets hanging on each end is how they carried them

These azzzwipes should have been made to carry 2 full honey buckets around their cells 12 hours a day. They are no better than the contents of the buckets.
Just my 2 cents.

Cook,

I guess I will go out on a limb. I am saying it(RVNPUC) was not issued to any Marine combat units in the 60's or 70's. When I was on active duty during this period I kept waiting for it to be...

From what I remember I believe Kegler300 is correct. It was issued in the 50's. In 1956 or early 1957, all members of the 1st Marine Div were authorized to wear the Navy PUC. They changed it to...

On the MSTS Gen. Hugh M. Gaffey: The troop head crapper's were steel troffs with 2x4's across them to sit on. There was a steady stream of sea water flowing. There was room for 3 or 4 people to sit...

I believe the 1stSgt is correct on the assignment of a block of serial numbers by different AFFES. I enlisted in Los Angeles on 24 Jul 57 and was assigned 1802171. A friend enlisted in San Francisco...

Two great posts. Three BadgeMarine, I look forward to your posts.

Lars, would you believe when I came back from Japan in 61, I had one up and one down. Maybe I should have drank rum instead of...

Thanks
