Stay Safe. Take Numbers, God will keep track of the names!
With LZ saturation by support entities, their shouldn’t be a lot of need for personal armorment there. Since we’re still flying the old souped up Cobra as well as the harrier air escort ought not be a problem. I am excited that the Osprey finally got deployed and will give a serious case of mush mouth to it’s nay sayers!
With the push into both Iraq and Afghanistan over seven hundred miles from the beach, the extension of the Navies fire power into the literals required some serious updating to extend the Marines ‘rapidly’!
I’ve humped for three days covering twenty miles to go three.
I’m gonna keep close watch on you young pups because you are gonna put a new chapter in “conventional warfare” as well as the shock troop ability of the Corps! We’re not going to slug fest as we have in the past, but shock and awe them with technology. But like my First Shirt always told us; “You still have to put grunts on the ground to double tap the survivors and feed the kids chocolate bars!”
The quote from the Germans in War One that “the Marines could travel further, faster on foot than he could move his troops by truck” is still in vogue!
Make sure that while you are writing this new chapter in the History of the Corps as well as warfare tactics you make it interesting for the Muj’s!
