Iraq is winding down, and you can’t beat the job security during bad economic times.

This trend started when we entered the recession last year.

Any wonder why the Marines lead in recruiting? They’re the branch that has not yet been fully feminized. And, BTW, I’m an Army veteran. 82nd Airborne, infantry, 1982-1986. My brother, 17 years my junior, and a nephew are Marine veterans. Both saw combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

One of my few regrets in life was not making a career out of the Marines.
On the positive side though, after 4 years I got out as a Corporal. After 20 I might have got out as a Private.

Yeah. But Corporal pays better and you get to supervise Privates instead of being one. [;-)
And I do get your point. Military service is always honorable no matter what the rank or branch. Even if it was in the Navy.
*ducking snd running for cover*
Thanks to you for your service, SandRat.

I agree. But reinforcements and suppressing fire are always welcome.

Can lay down fusillade direct fire but for real suppressive fire you need a Red-Leg; Call For FIre - Red Dog ONE, NAPOLEON 3 - Troops in the Open - H and I - Range 500 - Right 10 - FIRE! Adjust Fire - Drop 50 - Left 2 - FIRE! On Target - BATTERY FIRE 5 Rounds - FIRE!

I liked it. Fusillades are always good no matter why they’re called.
Although as an air winger I would probably have saluted as the Cobras took off and hoped for the best.

Enlisted Airdales stay at the airfield and send their Officers/Warreants off to a HOT LZ.

I enlisted and followed orders as did every other enlisted man I served with. I volunteered to be a door gunner on a CH-53 but was turned down because my MOS was "critical".
I never disparage anyone's service although I do occasionally razz a Navy guy good naturedly.
