Outstanding FTO. I've been a Marine for over 55 years now, who would have thought back in the day.

I sure am glad that I've lived during our time, when women were women and I sure knew the difference.

What's next brothers?
Nose rings?
Facial tattoos?
Skirts for the guys who "identify" as female?
How about turbins and beards.

This graphic shows how it was back during our day at Parris Island;

I fear for our Corps. I cannot help but doubt how this "new" Corps could have stood up to the Nam the way we did. I have mentioned many times on this site that PI should have been at least 10X...

I was smart and drank mostly beer while I was there. I also think my AO trumps the water at LJ

My father, who was on Iwo at 18 years old, passed back in 86. He was a good man, I only wished I had asked more questions of him back then. He didn't go to Korea.

That's right y'all, I've always been lucky. Life taker and heart breaker - Real Marine. And, where am I now - I live in the FREE State of Florida. How's that for Luck.

That should work Fist, none of y'all will believe this but they actually hit me in boot camp. Am I the only one?

All in all, the best thing I can say about bragg is; That's awful white of him. The NY state attorney general should suspend or replace the asssholle.

Even though I was out of the MC at the time, I really wish the Corps would have told me not to get married the 1st 3 times. Just saying.

To start the conversation: If anyone joining the army can become a Marine, it will no longer be the Marine Corps. That special self identity we have as Marines is earned, not given. Standing our...

I like it brother, I just hope your Ex lives far away from Florida. That Cuban just won't stop.

So far Billy, no one is willing to fund the walkable ex-way. On the plus side though I have promises for a dozen pair of reusable water wings to assist the illegals on their swim across the river. ...

S/F Marine

Yeah, but our families did, and I believe that if they were here today they'd do it all over again. Billy, a lot of so called Americans today don't even comprehend the values of family, "country"...

My how times change. We've all heard that poor little Wright was stopped in a traffic stop because the car he was driving had out of date tags. It was then found out that he also had an outstanding...

Billy, I didn't have to see her again brother, you saw her for me. Thanks.

Now, a lot of the young female hippies weren't that bad. I dated one while at Pendleton before my vacation in the Nam. She was a lot of fun, she even missed all the weekend peace marches before I...

Say it ain't so Jack. What a horrible image in my head.

Even back in our day, I've always described it as "self correcting," meaning if anyone got 2 out of line they'd be corrected immediately. Now we've got all these cry-baby whiners, the draft dodgers...

I always thought Billy, those guys you're talking about in the movie were 5th Marines. They were singing because they weren't afraid of any f'n gooks, they just didn't want to hit any Marine lines...

I call it a majority of one, a bulllshivt way to run a country. Every time we came in for resupply at An Hoa our Gunny would buy those of us that made kills a free beer(s). Or, you could stand...

In January of 67 we started out at $96 a month, paid the 1st and 15th. Being a very patriotic platoon 100% of us volunteered to have the MC take out a $25 a month bond (face value in only 7 years)...

Very true, what foresight the men of that day had. Perhaps they are the ones that should be called the greatest generation. Just saying.
