Had PT this weekend, and while on the run and singing cadence we were passing by a old man..probably in his early 80's a little hunched over man. He had a veteran jacket on and his Navy ship cap on, and as we were approaching him he stood to the side stood up as straight as he could and saluted us as we ran by, that old man made me yell that cadence loud and proud..thanks old man..you gave this poolee some Moto to "keep on keepin' on" :thumbup:

I would have loved to do that L.Cpl, but I dont think I can just jump out of formation on a run with the Sgt yelling cadence at my side. I Just hope I see that old man again on a random walk and be able to thank him.

Good Story
Once you Earn the Title of United States Marine you never forget and never forget to respect your brothers.
It would have been good to have stopped and showed him some respect also. If you ever see him again you need to Salute him and shake his hand and probably welcome hm back home.
You never know it might be his first Welcome Back Home Marine, after all it only took about twenty years for me to get mine.

OLD MAN!!! - :mad:
Easy pup.
That OLD Man, nay, that PROUD VETERAN has more pizz and vinegar in his veins than most will ever see.
Respect him. Drop out, shake his hand and thank him for his service.
Your recruiter would approve.

Good Sh!t.
Definitely good sh!t. That's a good example of why we all have or plan to serve in the military, especially the Marine Corps. For that service to country and everlasting BROTHERHOOD. Makes me so damn proud and can't wait.
As for welcoming veterans home, it's so important. I remember back in 8th grade our English teacher had veterans in. One was a Marine in Vietnam who was one of the "tunnel rats." I've heard many stories of the hell that was, let alone Vietnam itself. The lunch bell rang and everyone ran to the lunch room out the door, but I stayed and shook each of their hands, especially looking in that particular Marines eyes, and said "Welcome Home, Marine." You could just see the thankfulness in his eyes. It gave me chills.
Thanks for sharing your story of brotherhood between generations. Just shows you it will always be with you in life. STAY MOTO!!

That reminds me of a PT run I had at my last poole function. We were running through a parking lot nearing the end of our run, with the SSgt yelling the cadences. As we passed an extrememly old couple just about to enter their car, we all yelled something along hte lines of " AND WE SHOT HIS ASS DEAD" . Man the facial expression on that old lady was priceless. her jaw dropped acted like she saw a ghost that just offended the hell outa her haha.

"America doesn't need a Marine Corps, America wants a Marine Corps."
I know it was your recruiter that did that, but personaly I think thats not the wisest thing to do. Those old people could have been a senator, there goes my $$$ for new sapi plates.

first off PFC, that's disrespect to Marines senior to you and and Marine who held that rank. Are you implying that we were/are criminals? that we do things that are against the law?
Devil Dog, I think you should wait until you can call yourself a LCpl before you start thinking up cute little nick names... I was Staffy Petzold once by a reservist... lets just say that was the last time I heard him say my name again.
You may think respect goes both ways, but that's only when it's initiated from the junior Marine... don't think I or any other Marine of lessor grade need respect in order to give it first.
read your Promotion warrent, memorize it.. and one day IF you are lucky enough to attain the rank of Cpl you will understand what I'm saying.

I had a similar run in lately. I was on the inter-terminal train thing at KORD on my way back from Chicago with my father and step-mother. The only other person on the train was this man in his fifties, and he was wearing a MARINES lanyard, identical to the one I have for my car keys. Anyway, we had a conversation lasting the duration of the train ride, mostly about helicopters, his service, my to-be-service, but my parents were in complete awe. They couldn't understand the connection. When I got off of the train, the man yelled proudly "Semper Fi, Marine!" I know that if he was in uniform I would rate somewhere below maggot excrement and he would never say such a thing, but I was really happy none-the-less. My parents did not say anything for a while after that.

Someone mentioned you should have stepped out and shaked the man's hand and thank him. Then, you mentioned being in formation and afraid to get yelled at. Who gives a damn if you get yelled at? Your a poolee. Not even a Marine yet. Besides, once you get to bootcamp you will get yelled at all the time.
I jumped out of formation one time while running in Sasabo Japan. We were down there to help beef up security when the USS New Jersey (battle ship) was pulling into port. There were a bunch of old Navy Vetserans there on a tour/reunion. Sasebo isn't very far from Hiroshima. These guys starting yelling (good type of yelling) as we ran by. Even the youngest looking man in that group looked old enough to be my grandfather. I was a Cpl and these guys really motivated me so much that I just had to stop and thank them. When my platoon Sgt saw what I did, he turned the platoon around and came back to do the same thing. We all shook their hands and before you knew it, we had been there for over 30 minutes while they told us their sea stories. Once we got back to the barge (grey hilton) we were staying on, my platoon Sgt reamed me a new one. He said I put him in the spotlight because I jumped out of formation by myself and he kept going. After he chewed my arse, he addmittied it was fun to listen to those guys. Sometimes an arse chewing is worth it. That one definitely was.
I would totally be happy with an LBV and a kevlar. Someone runs at you, shoots at you, and then runs away...no one can freaking catch him because your flak alone weighs 60 freaking pounds.

I know I'm a little late in on this one, and veering off the subject but,,,,what are you doing running after someone that shoots at you, doesn't that constitute deadly force? Maybe if you were a little faster on the draw and could hit what you're aiming at then you wouldn't have to run after someone shooting at you.
Bullets travel fast. :D What's that old saying, don't run - cause you'll only die tired....

The original idea of this post was not meant to offend anyone, It was meant as motivation and that is all. I should have stopped and shaken that Veterans hand even if I was to be yelled at.
I also made a mistake and did not address the Lance Corporal as appropriate and I apologize, it will not happen again. I would like to say thank you to any and all Marines that have corrected me in my errors. If I have at any point offended any Marine or Veteran I am sorry, I did not at any point try to offend anyone.

On the shaking the hand of a veteran subject....alot of times an old veteran...of any branch....won't tell you he is a veteran. If he isn't wearing anything that would recognize him as a vet that is....and I agree that you should have broken rank and gone and shaken his hand. The utmost respect is always given to those who have come before you and sacrificed blood, sweat and tears...sometimes their lives.
Thats what its all about....paying respect to those who have definitely earned it...

When I was in San Francisco at the Air Port on the way to Nam I was in my uniform and a former Marine said something smart to me but I don't remember now what it was. He was in Civies and I didn't know he had was a Marine but I replied "What's it to you, kiss my ass" He said Carry On Marine I see things haven't change much since I was on Active Duty. I then Saluted him and thanked him for his service.
I was a Buck Sergeant back then and thought I could whip anyone's ass.
Most of us are Old Farts now but we still kick ass and will blow you away.
Hold your head high and learn as much as you can. Marine training is the BEST there is so you need to grip on to it and you will survive. When you ever do make it and deploy you will have the BEST training you could ever get and its up to you what you do with it.

I have a similar story. About 6 months ago I was sitting at the American Legion and an elderly gentleman was sitting at the end of the bar. I was told that he was a WW2 Navy vet and witnessed the flag raising at Iwo Jima. I ceased all conversation with those around me and moved to sit beside this gentleman. He shared the story with me like it was nothing. Needless to say, he didn't pay for any more drinks that night (not that he drank much, maybe a couple beers) and I was lucky enough to get to shake his hand. Don't ever let an opportunity like that pass you by!

1) because if you haven't attained the rank/title you don't (in my opinion) rate making little nick names even if it's been around longer than you've been alive (devil dog, leatherneck, Lance coolie, Perfect For Cleaning). So that should help you understand that you need to be in the shoes before you can comment about how they feel.
2) I do believe you are correct, the recruiters are teaching them fundamentals of military training which includes discipline which I feel he showed by not jumping out even though he felt he should have. Semper Fi.
3) because this is a Marine site, and we like to bull sh!t about everything, so if it's not a topic, we create it on the spot because we can improvise like that... besides, I'm the one you are complaining about in #1 & 3... so now you can understand how it goes from a moto story, a rank nazi, people complaining about him not jumping out, to people talking about why people don't stay on topic.

My grandfather was far more pragmatic. He'd pick the bird up by the left wing and thrust the knife edge of his fingers into the armpit, creating enough trauma to stop the heart and stopping all movement instantly.

He said only 2 people had ever welcomed him home, the other being his Mother. Ended up talking to the man for over 20 min, told me some crazy stories about him and his buddies in Nam.. at the end he thanked me for Enlisting and wished me good luck. Its crazy to think a man can go to war for his country or Enlist in the service and have to wait years for people to welcome him home, or thank him for the sacrifices made..

Gah, lost my moto story during the edit. A few days ago an older gentleman came to our office for an exam. He spotted me off to the side and immediately inquired as to whether or not I was a Marine.
We got to talking and he told me that he was an associate of the MCL in White Plains. His brother fought in Peleliu during the Pacific campaign. He and many other Marines there made the ultimate sacrifice. I was honored to hear this story. The least I could give him was a handshake and a Semper Fi. Family is family afterall.
Never got his name. Like so many encounters with veterans and their family members names weren't exchanged, but the feeling that we were family got across instantly.

It only took me about twenty years and broke down and cried.
You know I just now thought about it but my dad who was in WWII in the Army never even said welcome home to me.
I guess he never thought about it. He was in a different war and I remember him telling stories about ticker tape parades to welcome them home.
I was brought up to serve your country and I guess I expected something like that when I returned.
One thing about the Marines returning from war these days is they go and come back as a unit and we went alone and returned alone.
On my freedom bird home they served me drinks all the way home. Allot of drinks from Nam to N.C. I didn't even know where I was. Remember the cab driver had to look at my drivers licenses to see where I lived. My wife was staying with her parents and that address was on my licenses. When I got there she rushed me off to a motel until the next day. I remember I couldn't sleep because it was too quiet.
Again Job Well Done Gnetics, As I remember on another thread you took allot of **** and came out of it on the good side. You'll make a good Marine.

I believe this is the same thread Sir, It just went AWOL. So I figured I would post most recent run in with a Veteran and Hopefully the thread would straighten itself out..and it seems to be working.

Gah, lost my moto story during the edit. A few days ago an older gentleman came to our office for an exam. He spotted me off to the side and immediately inquired as to whether or not I was a Marine.
We got to talking and he told me that he was an associate of the MCL in White Plains. His brother fought in Peleliu during the Pacific campaign. He and many other Marines there made the ultimate sacrifice. I was honored to hear this story. The least I could give him was a handshake and a Semper Fi. Family is family afterall.
Never got his name. Like so many encounters with veterans and their family members names weren't exchanged, but the feeling that we were family got across instantly.
Yeah, I did not exchange names with the Veteran as well. But he was talking to me as if he already knew me. He also told me to make sure I never quit and make it loud when I get to bootcamp and ill be fine. He told me he will never forget the day he became a marine, I told I will do my best so I can one day say the same.
Ok, Time to go get some running done. This poolee needs to lose some weight. Maybe ill do my run without the flak vest today..
I had some goat last night for dinner... Now I'm wondering how many children it bore to US Marines. Fantastic.

RoadIsland you got cheated.
He sent me Two Hundred and a Fifty Dollar bonus to put him on my friends list.
He is my first and probably last poolee on my list and I'm going to watch him close. I think he has got what it takes.

I stand corrected!
Yellow must be in on this goat-pimping because this thread is still open. This is hilarious.
