Semper Fi and marine mustering bump from this admiring and respectful daughter of a WWII Pacific theater marine. (Father-in-law was also WWII Pacific theater marine. Brother-in-law was a VietNam marine.)

A bubblehead? Say it ain't so, Joe.
I believe we met at the state capitol during the Florida voting debacle.
To: NormsRevenge; All
Worked today, Norm. Off tomorrow. Overcast here so I hope it'll burn off in the pm tomorrow. Want to get some Recall Davis petitions signed. Signing off here for tonight. Have a Happy Memorial Day weekend, Marines!

Here's to a safe week-end and good luck getting signatures! It should be in the 80 degree range and sunny this week-end here in the South Bay.
To All you jarheads and swabbies, Salute!
Here's a link to the USMC History and Museums Division

" It takes them a little bit, though "
More than a little bit ... I could shoot straight and hump forever, but could never quite hit 225 on the PFT while FMF. I finally got serious about training at my last Navy command, prepping for a short-course triathlon. Funny; I didn't hit my prime until 40. I'm still the same weight I was at retirement 7 years ago ... unfortunately, 10 pounds of upper body mass moved downhill to my butt.

1stSgt reporting in. Ready for whatever you've got. (Don't let the stripes fool you. I can still hang with the 18 year olds.)
Great Site. I served with a few of these Marines and has the sad duty of reporting the death of two of them to their parents.
I am proud to serve such a fine organization and to be able to claim the title.
Semper Fi!

In my day , there was no email. (methinks that was a good thing) :-)
Good job! He who controls the servers, rules the world ;-)
I was a Data Systems Tech, worked out of a trailer in exotic locales. (yeah, right!)
You going for 20 years or the longer haul?
