Wishful thinking Blow.
That was the time you got medivac'd out due to a severe ass kickin and poison ivy. LOL!!!!!
I almost got private,(Again), for that caper.

20020830

I remember some kind of ivy incident.
Andy, that typhoon in your neck of the woods?

20020829

do you remember when Top Long came in and stole all of you drunkards wallet right under the fire watches nose, or the time chuck, gilldill, and the old sully got there butts kicked in the bathroom of club goldhole, or the time I rolled daves butt down the seven steps in P I. And the time Henry sold his camera to that korean gooner for (1) one dollar and a bunch of paper? yea those were the days.
Yea, george the project is nearing completion. The cabinets are all in and lighting fixed up.
Just waiting on the counter top to be installed. Then of course I have to put up the
tile on the backsplash. I'll have pictures out soon as i can. Matter of fact I can probably
go ahead and get some good ones of the floor so everyone can see the work you do.

They just don't make Marines like they used to I guess. Course the Marines from the 50's
would have said the same thing about us probably. It is a different world out there.
The schools and the government, or should I just say the govenment schools are just
busy turning out a bunch of over-sensitized, panzies who have been told you have a right to not
to be offended and your needs are more important than the units. Let me stop before I
get hot.

I really enjoy reading the post. I need to make it a point and stop by more often.

20020826

They have Benny Boys in Palm Springs? LOL just Kidding
does Mik get another meritorous Mast??

20020825

Palm Springs was FANTASTIC!!!!
Lots of young, beauties to gawk at. Hot as south hell though..LOL
Hope everyone has a productive week as the vacation continues.
Semper fi

20020824

Mik has a new 'puter, stand by, won't be able to shut him up now
I remember people veering to the side of the road and puking during Bn runs,
only to catch up to their original spot and finish what they started.
First Sat off this month, time to catch up on the projects here at home.
Dale should be close to wrapping up his project,waiting for pictures.
My/K's Bus. is buying a Dig. Cam. this week, current pic.s to come.
Have a good weekend.
Semper Fi

20020823

PI I wanna go, but they wont let me go, home....

PI - I forgot most of you were from PI. I knew there was something different.

Guess what? Its hot here
Today was motivating for my 45 year old body. Had a BN run at 0530. 30 Marines/Sailore dropped out. However, the other 500 did just fine. Hell, in our day, we partied hard, stayed up late, and still made the runs. Kids are not what they used to be. Remember Tynan passing the PFT on a Sat morning while drunk????

20020821

PI I wanna goooooo
But they won't let me goooo
LOL
Semper Fi

20020820

I changed it to show thirty days worth of posts on this page
OK, time has come to go see what the fuck has happend to Otto, Pending
Tynans availability, sometime in Sept. Recon party will depart. Oh yeah,
we're going to Gerth's house too.
I believe Dale will be doing a mailing to those without computer access,
those that don't check their computer, are just mismanaging their resources.
Rumor has it ,that Mik is entering the PC world, Dude's gettin a Dell!
He can retire that old coal-fired thing he had
So, B.C. all of sudden you're quiet??
9 days of 90 degree plus weather (a record) is at an end
Bomer,Brown,Estes,Robertson,Fowler,Richards,Wiedow,Tynan,Robbins
Gerth,Sullivan R,Bentson
So far I think this is who will be there

20020819

Have a good week!

20020818

Roemer Enterprises is born, new biz, Karen's Co.
Tiling and Plowing
Going to buy Third Computer, God bless the tax laws
makes all but lunch(which I don't eat) deductable
Again ,for those who own one,go to www.lavasoft.com ., and download adaware, install and run it, to
eliminate the spyware that I know is there
Those of you that have your own computer,
SEARCH for Belarc, download and run, it will inventory your machine without disclosing to a third party
just an interesting, and somewhat useful utility
If you can't beat your computer at chess,,,,,try kick-boxing
Thanks for the feedback, I knew it wasn't just me.
Here's one short story to illustrate the caliber of worker
these days.
I tell the guy that there is a two hour job, 45 minutes away,
and if goes and does it, He'll get paid for the whole eight hours.
This was followed by a dumb look and the question, Are you going
to give me gas money????

20020817

Oh so true. The Academy was a JOKE by comparison. Yell at me and call me names. Hell, spend a week at MCRD Parris Island in the late 70's or before and talk about stress! I agree prior military especially USMC makes for a better employee. Semper Fi and have a good weekend. My 2 week vacation starts tomorrow. A chance to let the beard grow out and vegetate. I love my life!!!!!!!!

20020816

I always tell those who are getting out that they will become the most productive members of the working force. The habits we develop in the Corps, will last a life time. You all remember the tough days at NTA or CTA where we lived in the rain for days at a time. Or 2 weeks in the field in the summer at CAMPEN. Or sucking rocks for water in Austrailia for 30 days of tough field living. Long hikes, long patrols, lots of PT. Good work ethics come fast in this line of work.

I ask all of my fellow Dragons this question. Have you had ANY day at WHATEVER job you held that was as difficult or demanding as any felid exercise we went through? NO STRESS - How stressful can it be if the stapler jams, or the report is a little late....lol

I will attempt to take some pictures of Camp Hansen next week. I have one company on that camp and try to get up there every other week.



GO LAKERS
singing that song, Brandy on the way to/from Bridgeport
three inches of metal artery
I'm Fine- High performance parts installed
My first angioplasty was 5 july 00
Some women are exceptional, I must add..........................
Can I rant here? I guess I can, It's my blog., ok Ours
Kids suck. Not mine or hers, the ones people had twenty years ago.
You can't find help that show up on time, or that don't lie.
the exception is vet's. Those are hard to get unless they have a bad discharge.
Andy, I know you know,this, but let tghe young Marines Know, the habits they get now will follow them forever.
My poeple, the ones who I count on, are either WWII vets or Marines, not by my choice,
but by performance and Honor,the rest of men suck , with very few exceptions.
Sorry, I'm just Cranky
George

20020812

Yeah Andy we all did some things that would get us on wanted posters now days. Too bad that youth is wasted on the young. Or the young are wasted. Or whatever. Anyway good day to all and have a productive week.
Don't mention Dave Sterlings trip to TJ...LOL
Me and TC's first trip to Kinville...
SSGT. Sheldon's special Coca Cola....
Anything Gerth did!!!!!! The Loogie licking incident in particular.... Yukkkkkkk!!!!!!!
The day Ronlee woke up stuck to his skivvies...LOL
Blow's BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhh to be young and oblivious again.... or maybe not.....
Good morning. School has started this morning here is Georgia. I guess
Denise will have to get up early this morning, it's been at least two and a
half months since she has seen 0630.

Thanks for the labor on the floor George. It was good to hear things sent your way in court.
How's it feel to be the 'official' custodian?

Pretty neat reading the memories that some of you have from our days
in the Corps. Who remembers that trip some of us made to the beach there on base,
when Henri had to get rescued by the life guard? We just 'thought' those waves looked
good for body surfing.

17:52 for three miles. I am impressed Andy. The best I ever did was 18:32 and that was
when I was 21.


20020811

Where are all my fellow bloggers?

Lets here Steven T defend himself about the time he ran up from behind, and threw a man in the beach who he thought was SSGT Taylor?

How about Reggie being woke up in the field with a snake held right in front of his eyes?

I wont even mention what Mike did to that poor rabbit on CAMPEN

How about the time that TC chased that Marine who was stealing a stereo from one of us. If you recall, TC chased him down and caught him while he was naked. Poor guy picked the wrong barracks and the wrong guy to catch him. I guess going on liberty with a mouth piece and a roll of quarters finally paid off

Funny times we had back then. However, all kidding aside, it was the worst of times for me as a Marine (professionaly speaking). Hardly SGTMAJ material back then. You all know what some of us did back then, but thankfully we all out grew that trash. I'm very thankful for the leadership I learned from Goveia and Gilchrist. They both taught us a lot.

GO LAKERS

Happy Sunday, ST, you skatin again??
Hey Reggie, Juuust Boooock fur Superchicken.
