Looking For Marines

[8thAndI0351]

This Dragon's up. Just point me in the right direction... and don't stand behind me.

[Don Peterson]

I served on board the USS Proteus (AS19) in 1960-62, at Holy Loch, Scotland. I was a Navy second class petty officer, and the ship's Legal Yeoman. My Superior Officer was Captain, (at the time), 'J' 'C' Rappe, USMC, who was the Legal Officer. I may have been the only 'swabbie' that had that distinction at the time. He was also in command of a detachment of enlisted marine personnel that were responsible for the security of the Polaris missiles, and the brig, that we maintained aboard. Now that I'm retired, and my life has slowed down, I've recently taken an interest in locating and communicating with my old shipmates. The ones I've been able to contact have no knowledge about 'J' 'C's whereabouts. If any can help me reach him, it would be appreciated greatly. Thank you! And, Semper Fi!

You have people wearing a uniform claiming to be Marines when they can't/won't do the job they're supposed to do!!!!!!!

Ohh... Lazy Asses

[DavidBilyeu]

You could call them that, but there are those who hold no responsiblity and their stripes hold no power because they only rely on those in rank above them; i.e..... "The Colonel said," ..............
My name, my grade, my reputation and the position the Corps gave me was all the power I needed. My seniors knew that if they wanted something done, give it to Gunny B.

5th generation U.S. Marine, dating back to the Civil War!

Before my dad passed, he said, "Next time there's a war, dig me up. Pa too. (his dad) Put us in utilities and prop us up at the front lines with a weapon and a cigarette. We'll be fine."
Not even a 'dirt nap' can dull his spirit of Semper Fidelis.
I'll be there too, with the finest men God ever created.
