OK, I'll add my bit:

US Army since 1985, though mostly in the Reserves and the National Guard. 11B to start with, then 35A, and finally 55A.

Cheers to all branches on Memorial Day weekend! With a special toast to the Marine 1/2 of a Corps. My father was a Navy Corpsman with the 1st Marines in Korea. Well, we all make mistakes![;)]

Ah yes, Ft Lee. Virginia Beach, long necked Buds and oysters! I use to run the Crater every afternoon before supper! I was in 11 SFG in Louisville, then it was disbanded. The Cold War was over, and so was our mission.

LTCMTS -> RE: Could well be... (5/30/2004 4:04:55 AM)

Actually the 11th, like all the rest of the Army Reserve combat units (except for 100-442 (Inouye's Guard) and 2 AH Bns) were taken down as part of the OFF Site Agreement between Director, NGB and Chief, Army Reserve, in 1994, in which the Army Reserve would concentrate on EAD/EAC CS/CSS support of the Regular Army and the ARNG would provide integrated combat/CS and CSS forces at divisional level. The ARNG never really honored this agreement, though the Army Reserve did (I put the 205th down in six months in 1994).

WTG Subchasser, it is a very small planet nowdays, it is interesting to see all the various backgrounds on people, it is prety darn cool if you think about people from all around the world with common interests contrubiting to a thing like this, that we will all enjoy for a long time to come.

I went through Survey School at Fort Sill twice, once in the basic course in the fall of 1962 then the advanced course in the summer of 1964. For some reason this conversation seems familiar like we had it once before a couple of years ago in the WIR or PacWar forum.

I spent a little time with some of your marines while in Hawaii.....them some hard core boys!!!



byron13 -> RE: Could well be... (6/2/2004 2:39:56 AM)

I was never a Marine. Anyone else have enough common sense to not be one?

Why are Marines like bananas? Because they start green, turn yellow, and die in bunches.

Har. (That ought to get me kicked off the forum quick-like)

Can I have your address, please? Oh, and what time are you usually home? I'd call you a communist, but even they have more respect for US Marines, so you must be a college boy. Hmm, maybe i have a use for my M82A1 afterall...[sm=00000106.gif]



GBirkn -> RE: Could well be... (6/2/2004 3:43:39 AM)

What amazes me is that this thread took almost 3 full pages to wind up where I expected it to go in one. [sm=duel.gif]

I'd say it's more likely to get you kicked in the cahones... I've known enough
Marines to know they take the Corps seriously.



dwesolick -> RE: Could well be... (6/2/2004 4:43:17 AM)

Guys, guys, guys,

We shouldn't descend to petty bickering over whether the Marines are "better" or "worse" than other branches.

dwesolick -> RE: Could well be... (6/2/2004 4:44:29 AM)

The fact is, that ALL branches of the armed forces are equally brave and capable.

dwesolick -> RE: Could well be... (6/2/2004 4:46:15 AM)

It is my unbiased opinion that the Marines are no better than the other branches of our glorious armed forces. Really.[:'(]

Yeah. I guess someone has to keep the Admiral from escaping from his sea cabin, or being bothered by lowly commanders and such.[;)]
