I got orders to Iwakuni, Japan in 1983. 12 month tour. I liked it so much, I extended for another 12.
My advice is to get engaged while you're on leave. That way, you affirm your committment to her...

The thread about her is 20 pages long. I figure my question wouldn't get much attention there. So, here goes;
In the 80's, I served with a Staff NCO/Vietnam Vet named Lauterbach. I've seen info...

I started to feel pretty salty after enjoying some time at a few legendary Marine Corps liberty spots. Tiajauna, B.C. street and Olongapo City.

Low and over private! Get it and go!

I can certainly understand the appeal of The Citadel and VMI. Tradition, esprit de corps, the bortherhood, the prestige. There is a network of alumnus looking out for one another.
You will have all...

If it's time to hide them, it's time to use them.

Ohio passed similar legislation a few years ago.

I don't know how it is now, but back in 84 the call came down for volunteers for MSG duty. It was available to all MOS's, you just needed to have at least three years left on your contract, or you...

I was in from 82 to 86. An Airwinger. Until a few years ago, I had never heard of the practice of such bootcamp B.S. going on in the fleet. A younger, late 90's era Marine that I work with told me it...

Blame tapes. I never thought I'd see that. I preferred stenciling the name on the back of the utility blouse. However, big army always seems to prevail. Waiting for unit patches to make a comeback. I...

O.K. funny guy. I looked up your site. You're that guy from that guys show (Jerry Springer) that got hit with a chair all the time. I thought you were Chicago P.D.. How does a stage hand get his own...

All good :angel:

Now you're just being hurtful. :(

Thanks. I will.

I guess I don't recognize you because you're on radio? Where can I hear your show?

(edit)
Is it a faux pas to not recognize a celebrity?

(Re edit)

Is it a bigger faux pas for an jarhead...

Never heard of him. I see the Pic. Which one is Wilkos?

Mike Devlin, you are not forgotten.

The politicians must have had their sleeves rolled up too. Fashion can have a great impact on the outcome of war.

24 months isn't a deployment, it's a permanent change of station (aka PCS). Regardless, I spent 24 months at Iwakuni from 1983 to 1985 (best duty station in the Corps, IMO).
At that time, the only...

Sleeves rolled up in Vietnam. We lost, so you must be right.

I was in Plt 2080 as well. 2nd RTBN D. Co., graduated 16 December 1982. What will your MOS be? What School?

B.C. street and Olongapo City were rowdy places. Great if you're looking for that kind of thing. The best liberty I had was the days and nights I spent in and around Hiroshima, Japan and Seoul, Korea.
