Quote: "No Navy Crosses were awarded for actions in operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm (1990-1991)."

This is the second time I have seen this in the Forum Section. This information is easy to find.

Here is the correction to the quote above:

There were TWO Navy Cross's Awarded in Desert Storm. The first went to Ltcol Ed Ray on 2/25/91 and the second went to Col Michael Kurth on 2/26/91. Col Kurth pioneered the use of FLIR on the UH-1N for the first time. He used it in Desert Storm to help guide the initial assault through the oil smoke, and for that he was awarded the Navy Cross.

Good article. marines be proud of the job you did while serving in USMC. there is no need to try and impress people by saying you were a seal when you werent. all positions in marine corp are important ones. so be proud..semper fi

I have never figured out why some people want to brag about something that they have never done. Someone always see's thru their bull and expose's them for what they are. I served my 20 and am very proud of it.

I was a seal once; but then the circus kicked me out when i couldnt balance a beach ball on my nose.. I know now that I should have told them I was with green cell and I was color blind. Thanks for the info, it will come in handy. I never met anyone claiming to be a SEAL but I have met several claiming to be Airborne; I always figured they were lying when they would show a tattoo like as if it were some sort of proof.
Thanks again Drifter

Air Force Special Forces....LOL.

That having been said, they were known as the "Air Commandos" then.

Poser.

With all that said I am celebrating the day I went to Paris Island March 7th 1977. Thirty years ago. OOH Rah!

I still remember my laundry #18, Platoon 2045 "D" Company.
Remember how we would count off and at the end the last guy would say ___ # of highly motivated, truly dedicated, united states marine corps recruits sir!

I love that.

To all you highly motivated former marines and active marines I salute you my brothers and will never forget who I am.

A marine, my father was a marine and maybe some day my 5 year old boy will be one. Please pray for our country to get it's act together and protect our boys with the troops they need.

Oh Yah!! Besides Force Recon there was a special forces detachment known as Delta Mailmen. We wore Blue berrets with the Post Office emblem over our asses.
Taught us how to KILL with stamps!

i have good one,maybe the best one yet, when i was at anphib. assult school
at camp pen. one in our class told us he was prior service.he was a ranger in the army and he also before that was a navy seal and that he was a trained
killer (and he wasnt drunk every time he told us this) i swear,we all thought he was full of sh#t,but the whole 6 wks we were their he was aways talking
about what a stud mass killing machine he was, we got in a fight one night at the eclub and i kicked the crap out of him,well any way when we graduated
i asked him were his jump wings were, he should be wearing them. o idnt were them to many people ask me about them(riiiight).find out a month later he was just in the navy nothing more or less.

On my way home from work one night, I took a detour to the local establishment. I think I had a Jarhead shirt or somthing on and I had this obvioulsy over served nimrod explain to me how he was a member of the most elite fighting force in the world, Navy Recon. The funny thing is these homos come out of nowhere and talk to you like you really give a s**t.

You mean there is such an animal as Navy Recon? Pardon me whil I scratch my head on that one. Where do people comeup with this stuff?

When I get to Heaven, St. Peter I will tell "One more Marine reporting, Sir. I've served my time in Hell."

The ones that really **** me off are the slime balls that stand on the corner with a sign proclaiming to be a homeless "Vietnam Vet" that can't be any older than 30.
