I joined this outfit as a solitary replacement from a different national guard state and ill be leaving that way as well. Just went through all the motions of...

    A Simple Thank You from Iraq

    So today, i completed my last patrol. In doing so, between the thoughts of whether or not a sniper's crosshairs were aimed at my forehead and if i had to finish my laundry when i was done i began to think about what other guys were thinking when they did their last patrols during their tour of...

    Love at first sight? What Balloney!!...or, does it really happen?

    I met my wife because she thought that i was someone else and decided to slap me on the back of my head with a pair of gloves. Needless to say that when i turned around i was a little pissed off. It wasn't love at first sight for me, but for her, it was. That happened in November of 06. We...

    Basic Training (Boot Camp) During WWII

    Yeah, i went through a peacetime boot camp and it sucked. Wayyy to much time spent on telling and teaching us how to be garrison soldiers. Now adays, its the same as it was for WW2, scraping the bottom of the barrel for every volunteer they can get. No, it didnt matter back in WW2 whether u...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I usually ended up wearing a pair of WW2 "pink" officer trousers and an untucked OD Officer shirt with spit shinned brown low quarter dress shoes and my repro A-2 Jacket. I got many compliments that i was rather too dressed up, however, no one commented that what i was wearing was military in...

    Basic Training (Boot Camp) During WWII

    Army and Marine Basic back then wasnt as spit and polish as it is now. Basically you have to look at it like this, it was a period in time when our nation was in a crisis and they needed men in uniform, any men, and they needed them fast. As my grandfather (USMC 1945-53) said upon seeing "Full...

    A Simple Thank You from Iraq

    Yeah, being a WW2 re-enactor, i always wanted to go up into the attic to get Grandfather's footlocker. One day, he finally let me up there and in it was all his uniforms and gear. Some impressive stuff, but what really interested me was that my grandmother had bundled up and nicely packaged...

    A Simple Thank You from Iraq

    Yeah, that's me. Who knows, the USMC just might be my next stop in my military career when i am out in May 2009. I've already discussed that with Mich, she wasn't too excited but it's something to work on. we are on a CSC (convoy support center) basically a FOB with a giant gas station, about...

    A Simple Thank You from Iraq

    Hey Nashoba, What area is your husband operating in? An Bar? As my grandfather (USMC 1945-1953) used to say, "There is none finer than a US Marine, so don't join them because you'd tarnish that image with that ugly mug of yours..." haha. lol. So i joined Army Infantry instead because they are...

    A Simple Thank You from Iraq

    Thanks everyone, Thank you all so very much. You know, I sat back today and thought, "Its simple accomplishments that make me who i am." On my collar i wear the crossed rifles of the infantry. Many call them "idiot sticks," perhaps because only an idiot would join the infantry and march 30...

    A Simple Thank You from Iraq

    Well, no, sorry, i meant my M1 Rifle, but yeah, in a way, the M1A Tank will also do. I've seen them in action and if i had another job in the army, it would be to drive those beasts around. Atleast then i wouldn't have to worry about my damn IBA (flak jacket and all attachments) that damn...
