    There used to be

    We at one time had the ability to mentor youngsters interested in joining the Marines. There were a few jibes here and there but it was an important tool for some who went on and were successful.

    This site also had a daily meeting room to talk and chat. There was a cancer that caused it to be 3 people chatting.

    I would like to see it go back to everyone is welcome.

    A couple of us even said we would shoulder the cost of putting the chat back together, again met with silence...!!!

    It seems that this place has become a ghost town. I dont know if people have just been driven off, fallen off the internet or what. But before i was a poolee this place was pretty hopping but something has seemed to have fallen off.

    But before i was a poolee
    this place was pretty hopping
    but something has seemed to have fallen off.
    I would venture saying , most of
    the gang that spent hours on here in the
    chat room with a crowd of "Poolies"
    were using DialUp to get here...
    And when Leatherneck went COMMERCIAL
    the" Requirements " were raised to get here.

    Since then,,
    things have only gotten worse. ( IMHO )

    I've found a way around using higherpriced Microsoft
    by switching to LINUX software, But. Most
    of us OldFartMarines, arent that aware of alternatives.

    PAGE size, still is a limit to dial-up getting here.

    OH,, the chat program has changed.....
    and there is a time out limit that isn't worth
    fighting with to stay and wait to chat
    with the Next visitor....

    I wish I understood this thread a little better. It doesn't make sense. It says that we used to be able to help out people who wanted to become Marines.
    But a lot here still help out In Ask A Marine. Every day. But the OP never does. So its an odd thread

    The edit button severely limits our ability to add to posts, but what I was talking about is this:

    "We at one time had the ability to mentor youngsters interested in joining the Marines"

    We still do. Its done all the time. Thats why the thread puzzled me so

    I wish Rocky C would come back along with his over 3 thousand friends here.
    Hope he gets his website up and running soon.

    This place is a ghost town but we are here hanging in there, hoping for the best.

    Joseywales not everyone can participate in certain forums on this site.
    There are forums here that some Marines can't even see let alone post in.

    I here their is a whole " Headquarters section " just for Moderators and Administrators, and a VIP section.

    Is that true FO ?

    I hear you Bloop.

    I read a lot of good scoop in the " War Room ". Glad I got invited in there.

    Have a good Sunday my friend.

    Well, part of it is when someone gets on here and starts blurting out comments like...."Fill out your profile, or the moderators will get rid of you", or "Boy, you dug deep from some old threads". .....or you may want to post it like this or like that on a private message,.....how do you expect people to feel in here? When it comes to having to comply with something like filling out a profile, which in reality, what difference does it really make? Anyone can fill out a phony profile in the first place. Unless you check dd-214's, you will never know whom is for real and whom is a phony. Start getting static over things like that and threatened to be kicked off, why even bother to come in here? Do you think jumping over to ROCKY wherever that site is will make things better? Why? Will he check dd-214's?

    That's what I and others heard like a lot of other forums. You will be vetted.

    Sounds like you have a problem with the way things should run ?
    Do you have something to hide or a personnel problem ?

    You sound like a former banned member that someone spoke about in another thread I read about a few weeks ago.

    Conch or fatty the ferrett I think it was.

    Your new here. Rocky was the best thing to happen to this place. He was a good guy and a good Marine and got along with all the squad leaders. I read just about everything he posted.

    Did you even read what happened or his goodbye to everyone ?

    Now go get your shinebox....

    Great thread Quinbo !!!
