Sound -off Where did you do your boot?

Cpl, the next time you choose to correct a senior NCO, how about you spell his rank properly. Its Sergeant* with an *A*

Dam crappy spell checker missed it! Not my fault! Should have gone with my gut feeling and left it as "Sgt".

Yeah, this is a cool website.

I thought that this particular thread was answered some time ago, but I guess not...I have read each and everyone of the replys and did not find ours.
Before I post though, there is one thing, or several things that enter my mind about some of the posts.
First and foremost, we are all Marines who spent the time in boot camp and it doesn't matter which. It's good though to have braggin' rights on the one of your choice.

There are Marines who try after all the years to get in touch or make contact with some of their boot camp Brothers, and/or those they served with. I can't say what their reasons are for locating others, but it would be most helpful to those Brothers if everyone would complete their profile. I really can't understand why one would not take the time to complete their profile.

With that said:
