Anyone who thought they were moving to safe environment in DC is mental. Regardless of their race, sex, or political leanings. DC hasn't been a safe place for many years.

I think the trial takes place in the States, not Gitmo. But other than some of the movie rivalry element, I think Marine JAG officers would have been the defense attorneys as well as a potential...

That's undoubtedly true. I never saw anyone act out in a court martial. Saw it plenty of times in civilian courts though.

Yeah, a guilty plea in a civilian court can go pretty fast unless it's a murder case and the defendant is smart enough to put the proofs on the record and not try to beat around the guilty bush.

They were having a General Court Martial, so a full bird JAG judge isn't terribly surprising considering on of the prime witnesses was also a full bird. Having testified in several general courts...

Welcome back, OldTop. That is certainly an unusual thing to happen to anyone's neck. I hope your spine heals up OK.

Nancy is scared ****less something is in that laptop that was taken from her office that she doesn't want Trump to see.

RIP, Hammer. As our Royal Marine bretheren would say, he has crossed the bar.

Prayers outbound for the Hammer.

I'm not certain how cross-commissioning works, however, the Marine Corps has a very different training pipeline for potential officers than does the Air Force. Going through NROTC can get you into...

I voted last week. The polling location was very busy and we had to walk through the groups passing out candidate literature. Nothing new. One lady offered me some Biden propaganda and I politely...

Herbert Hoover?

I did too. My favorite place to drink in Oceanside. Some interesting Old Salts hung out there.

I think a lot of those women came out of the woodwork as soon as Trump became president because they are jealous he didn't marry them so they could be the First Lady.

I think you guys know how co-ed military training goes. Guys in one squadbay, gals in another. That is how it worked when my #1 daughter went to Air Force basic. She did not like the process and...

Happy Birthday, Russ. I hope The Home provides a nice cake loaded with Thorazine. :beer:

Just before I went to boot camp, I read an article that the Marines were "reducing stress" during Receiving Phase so recruits could be more relaxed while taking tests to determine their MOS.

When...

Well, I've got some bad news for the "banned from warfare" crowd. The US military has used tear gas in WWII against the Japanese and in Vietnam in Hue during Tet 68 (at least there). The...

My #1 daughter went through AF basic with mixed training flights. She didn't like it. While males and females had separate quarters, there was a lack of a team feeling when they were all together...

I agree with Dave. It is an interesting question and well worth thinking about. However, as Dave also said there is no precedent. I disagree with that. All we have to do is look to the Civil War. A...

I got a CAR in Vietnam as a truck driver. In Desert Storm I was in the Air National Guard as a security policeman. I got a Meritorious Service Medal for being in charge of an 86-man air base defense...

Something people need to realize is Harris is NOT an African-American. Her mother is Indian (South Asia type) and her father is Jamaican. He was part black, but all of his non-African ancestry did...

Poor babies. They have no clue what real PTSD is like.

I would say your reasons for becoming a Marine are good ones. Differences between intel and infantry are like night and day. You pretty well summed them up, but intel tends to be a butt in a seat,...

The dead idiot was in the Air Force for less than a full enlistment. They let him out early to take care of his girlfriend. I think he whined and cried until they just got rid of him. He was a...
