MCRD Parris Island, SC 2nd Bn., Dog Co. Plt. 2022 Dec. '85 - March 13, '86 (Yeah, I was one of the U Suckers Missed Christmas gang)
SDI- S/Sgt Galbraith...had a bit of a lisp. Kind of hard to...

I can see in my mind the conversation that went on to combat the problem:

General A: "We have too many people in our weight programs!"

General B: "Well, we can't have too many "overweight"...

As I saw on another thread by Marine84: "Judge the Man, not the Corps" or in this case the DevilDocs. The same applies here. There will always be "individuals" who do not exemplify the code of...

His_Angel, I'm not sure it's as simple as that. I think that is part of it, but I think it goes a little beyond understanding and comprehension. I would agree with your point on the cheerleader vs....

I don't think much would shock you. Except for maybe the WoodPecker!

39 for now but I go over the 40 hill in December. The older I get, the more I learn, the more I realize how stupid I was! I should have taken better care of myself when I was younger. Oh well,...

joining the Marines, the first thing you need to know is that it starts with a capital M.

Also, if you read any of the other posts on this site, you know it aint easy and it takes 110%...

I also did a tour as a 6337 but on the other Coast when El Toro was still open in California. Best time of my life. If Marinepride doesn't know the answer, between the two of us we can come up with...

on us wingers now! We had it rough too. Once, our air conditioning went out and I almost broke out in a sweat!;)

I was in boot in '86 and our SDI made us all pool a bunch of our chits for all...

Mike,

You make an excellent point about neglecting Civics. I feel (and I'm sure that a lot of others will agree) that this is one thing that pi$$es us all off. We have served, fought, got...

My unit (Air Winger) did a 6 month tour on the Coral Sea when I first got in but after that we never went on another boat while I was in. We did do 2 WestPac tours in that time though. One was for...

Just about every one of my friends in High School tried to talk me out of it. They just didn't understand. Of course one of those guys is now a VP at Ford and making a$$loads of money but I will...

I wasn't blaming Billy boy for anything. I actually voted for him and thought he did a decent job as President. I just wish he could have concealed that whole Monica thing a little better (not that...

Not only did I get "encouragement" during PT, but I was the Platoon "knowledge Private". At the time I had the highest ASVAB score in the platoon (including the DI's) so they "chose" me to be the...

A "little to the left" would be an understatement.

So what Zodiac (through the link) is essentially saying is that the Bush's are the only politicians in Washington that have any ancestry that has...

...the same boat as you are when I went to boot several years ago. When I finally got to my platoon they designated me and a few other guys as "weight watchers". They put special stripes on my PT...

Hey, you also forgot the question mark at the end of your "rhetorical" question. Don't forget that!

On a positive note, at least he's asking for advice. That shows initiative. Once we get him...

Can anyone tell me why the Airfarce needs a BDU? Seriously, how much battle are they going to see other than a couple of their "Special Ops" guys?

Common sense would dictate that their camo...

I think their new cover should look more like a beanie with a propeller on top to show their deep tradition and history.

:devious:

"Dude" was used in the figurative sense, not the literal so don't come gunnin' for me.

Drifter, dude, that is some seriously funny sh**. I almost have tears in my eyes and an ache in my side. Dude, you should go pro!

I was with "worlds finest" Snake Electric from 86-91 and would like to hear from anyone else who was there.
