Welcome back. It has indeed been a long time. Not much activity here since a lot of folks now do Facebook only. It's been dead here. You remember the old days. Many people posting. Haven't seen that...

I moved this thread from Looking for a Leatherneck to here in Open Squad Bay for more exposure.
I suggest you PM Marine1955

Oh no. That's terrible news, Pat. I'm very sorry to hear this. Prayers for you and your whole family.

So why even have a military? Issue rifles to civilians and that solves the problem.

Everything is a big deal except the things that should be a big deal.

Our only out of pocket expense was dry cleaning of uniforms.

1963 E-1=78 dollars monthly if you were in under 4 months and 83.20 a month if you had more than 4 months service.

When I joined it was number 188.
Happy Birthday to all Marines everywhere, past and present.

Out of stock at Sgt Grit. A dollar. Ask them when they might have some again.

You're in the right place but the site activity is not what it used to be.

Hope it's a great day, Billy.

Rest in Peace.

But you're on here quite frequently. It's not that people should actually post all the time. What concerns us is the overall level of activity for no good reason other than it just faded out. This...

Lep just messaged me back on Facebook, asking if there's still a forum. Lol

Ed, when you report those posts, that helps. I check everything several times a day and night. Plenty of spammers. We need to set up membership so no one can just register and immediately begin to...

Example. Former moderator Sgt Leprechaun hasn't been on here in 11 years. Was one of the most active participants here. I emailed him and also PMd him via Facebook yesterday.

Mike, I wonder what explains the inactivity here. Maybe just a decline in interest over the years. No reason for it, it just happened. Used to be 20 posting all the time. Just faded out. I was trying...

I'll try emailing some old members who drifted away, see if they're interested in returning.

Post 2507 by Ed. I was told that a lot of members who used to be on here often have gone over to Facebook, leaving a skeleton crew here. I'd like to see a return to the old days when many were...
