These aircraft stopped at the base I was at during Desert Storm to RON and refuel.

Regarding cleaning it. It depends on what you eventually plan to do with the knife. If you want to keep it and potentially sell it to a collector, do not clean it. You will ruin whatever patina...

That is a Fairburn-Sykes fighting knife. Developed by those two gentlemen initially for British commandos in WWII. They were also adopted and issued to US Army Rangers and other special forces of the...

All Marine officers attend OCS or a service academy to gain their commission. Afterwards, ALL Marine officers (including wanna-be pilots, lawyers, whatever) attend The Basic School and become basic...

Slim to none, if not lower.

Nope, the Ex lives in Putnam County.

Russ,

Maybe she can move in with my Ex. They can yak in Spanish with each other and make one another Moors and Christians (white rice and beans).

RIP to PFC Roscoe Mullins, the last surviving member of my father's WWII platoon, the 6th Marines Scout-Snipers, aka: The 40 Thieves. He was 96-years old. Died today, Dec 28, 2021.

I agree with you, Billy. You've got to be plum mad dog mean (to paraphrase Clint Eastwood from "The Outlaw Josey Wales") to win a battle. Probably need to be nastier and more violent than your enemy....

Kegler,

I agree they are as feckless as they come. I truly hope 2022 and 2024 will be horrible years for our socialist/communist "friends." Sometimes I think that they should be rounded up and...

Perhaps he does, but the author is an officer in the Texas Army Guard. I'd think he has at least a little insight.

I spent 14-years in the Michigan Air Guard. I was federally activated three...

Mongoose and other Texans,

Read this article from the Army Times. The author is not kind to Gov Abbot.

I remember Tinian as my father fought there as well as on Saipan. But I'm also a military history nut, particularly WWII in the Pacific.

Not necessarily an automatic go. The only way to know, is to apply for a new waiver IF a recruiter will do the paperwork for you. Good luck.

Shadow,

Note that he said most decorated in his county, ​not in the country/nation.

Zulu 3-6 was my tactical call sign in the Air Guard. Zulu was my squadron's call, I was in the 3rd Flight, and 6 because I was the flight commander (I was a MSgt. We were short on officers so senior...

No clue when he'll get a leave. All the powers that be have gone totally stupid over Kung flu, CRT, and a bunch of other crap. Also, even if he asks for help, there is nothing you could do, nor...

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Is it worth the possibility of office hours to obey a silly order that is easy to obey? It's not like the corporal is ordering you to go out and dig a 100-foot long...

Dave, you lawyers and your referral fees. :beer: Always looking to make a buck.

I have a pieced together 1:50,000 map of Camp Pendleton I used in the 1st MarDiv MP Company (76-77) when we went to the field to hunt down illegal aliens using the base to avoid the Border Patrol...

The UN can stuff their reparations demands up their wazoo.

If you wear a Marine uniform, you would wear the highest rank earned as a Marine. However, If you retired from the Navy, you should wear your Navy uniform with the highest rank earned as a sailor.

Some years ago when we still lived in Michigan, my Ex took the kids to an evening church event. She swung through a Burger King drive-thru and ordered a couple of Whoppers. She asked the girl at the...

Good point, Billy. How many years in prison? 5, 10?

And you want to get it squared away as soon as possible. If you end up owing Uncle Sam from overpayments, they will take it back, often in one lump sum. That hasn't changed. I asked my #1 daughter...
