Chuck and I play card’s multiple times a year. I’m not a Fucking phony. To whom ever referred to me being a possible Phony I will help educate you. Every year , the Marines reset the the platoon numbers . 1001 , 1002,…. 2001, 2002, … and so on. So here is my Boot Camp Platoon book and Boot picture to follow. Chuck’ s getting older and to busy to remember trivial shit like what Boot Camp number I was in. We literally were separated by 10 years, same Boot Camp MCRD SAN DIEGO. Also for those that want to call bullshit, I did not do 13 week Boot Camp, I did 9 weeks of accelerated training. It was experimental and every DI was a Viet Nam theater DI. We went North after 6 weeks and spent our entire time up at Camp San Onfre and were at the base of Mount Mother F….r. We experienced intense grunt training and land mines and booby trap warfare. I did not graduate on the Grinder , but at Camp San Onfre. Very few family members allowed to attend. I have a copy of the Chevron Newspaper published on Camp Pendleton explaining our experimental training. Each platoon started with 75 men and we all ( platoons) graduated 40-45 men. No pick ups. For what ever reason we all were required to sign documents to agree with accelerated training program, in the posted picture you can see our start date and graduation date. Do the math, recieving/ processing time and subtract stated training time. A Master Gunnery Sargent and friend of mine who worked 8 years at HQMC / Pentagon man power stated the program was never repeated do to the attrition rate. So for clarity I just lay in the weeds and observe on the website. But really enjoy my poker time with Chuck, and his boys. Both of them law enforcement officers in Will county Illinois. It was a strange time after Viet Nam as the Marine Corps tried to fix as to what they perceived as broken. I will post my Boot picture next.

Morning . Star link works much better plugged in .

Good night everybody and good morning Chuck.

***EDIT*** I DON'T SUGGEST ANYONE ACTUALLY DOES THIS! I was pretty sure anyone who actually took the time to read this would actually be smart enough to know NOT to do this! but just incase I gave anyone too much common sense credit, I will say, again, "DO NOT ACTUALLY DO THIS!! This was meant purely as a joke! if your dumbass actually tries this, I will NOT be held responsible for your stupidity!  

That look the Cardinal gives everyone, when he's back from Warriors Rest. That look that says I'm back now, and the party is over. So far so good, his Eminence hasn't yet had to call upon me to deal with those who may have been derelict in his absence...

Tippmann Ordnance's New Baby Gatling Gun

One day, the rain was pouring like crazy and a big puddle formed in front of a local pub just outside the Navy base. An old Marine Sergeant was standing near the edge of the puddle with his fishing line in a puddle. When a Navy fighter pilot saw this, he decided to approach the man and see what he was doing.

“Fishing,” the old Sergeant replied.

‘This poor old fool,’ thought the Navy officer, so he invited the old man inside to buy him a drink.

While drinking their beers, the smart-ass fighter pilot decided to ask, “How many did you end up catching today.”

“You're the eighth,” the old Marine answered.

Morning .

@Subman - that project saved 2 1/2 million lives. And made mine possible.

I still remember my boot camp company. RTC Great Mistakes, err Lakes Company 159 in 1987.

Seventy eight years ago today a group of scientists tested the theory that and uncontrolled chain reaction of splitting atoms would produce an explosion large enough to end the second world war.  Actually since it's after midnight, it was 78 years ago yesterday.

Heroes and dipshits alike.... I have a question and was wondering if any of yall could answer it for me....

So i have been reading this book about how the US Navy has been the cause for all of the good times we have had since WWII. Meaning without the US Navy, trade would have never had flourished so prolifically.  While both good and bad aspects can be stated, no one was better suited to the job than the good ol U.S. of A, because like it or not we have the whole of the worlds best interest at heart.

Enough minging, question time..... as the US Navy has gone away from a destroyer heavy Navy for a more super carrier/ technology Force, how will we prevent piracy if and when global warming starts affecting populations?

I can just imagine the scene up at the barn, with Chuck being up at 3:30AM watching TV. The things you do when you have 2 hours to kill before you start texting Senior at 5:30AM. Thank God for Miss Diane's bong...🍁

"Pogey bait" is a reference to sweets or candy, which was in usage in the military as early as 1918. The term alludes to food (and other luxuries) rarely afforded to grunts in the field.

something happened to me once- a guy said at me> thank you for your service- he surprised me- i thot> well i guess i did- i said cool- anyway> u guys> thank u for your service

I used to scavenge up maritime survival rations, his then with chocolate C-Ray cakes, and a tome of hot coco mix, and drastically increase the volume of the chocolate disc, with little change in taste. If I melted in a couple of Hersey Bars, it was heaven, and I pored in to field cups of solidify.

HE’s and WP’s

We were ocassionally given "Long Rat's" in nam ...

By female or by males?

Our artillery rounds we used were from Vietnam …dates on them were 1968 69

All of your MRE in the early eighties were from Vietnam, all has cigatrettes.

We got all of Army’s throw outs

I don't remember anyone ever getting out of line when I was active duty. No sexual harassment the entire time I was in.

i think- i should be extra respectful towards women in the military- yes maam

We switched over from C-Rats to MRE’s while I was in Marines

Three retired SEAL's siting around complaining. I have to get up and pee every hour. The other I am constipated all the time. The third says I pee and shit every morning at 0630. What's the problem? I don't wake up till 0800....

When I was teaching troops in 90 and 91, I heard Amy guys teasing Marines about eating crayons, but it was nto overly often. When I taught in 2001 and 2002, the crayons for Marines were a huge things, leading to phyla conflict.

we never ate crayons in Nam. we smoked them.

Tuna was good, ham and m$%$#ers sucked

i did good- i know it- seals are interesting- the SC has interesting insights

ARMY was issued MRE (MEALS Ready to Eat) MARINES were issued CRE (CRAYONS Ready to Eat)...

guy called me a coward like- a thousand times- how could anybody not like that?

i binged all of sc stolen valor videos- i have stolen valor and lots of abuse which is a long story- i like> don bitches liar fake phoney coward pussy
