Historian Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Frizzen, I don't think I'm wrong. But I think you and my dad were on the same ship same time. Dad's first Med. ship was the Des Moines and then Springfield. Same time. He eventually married a French girl from a little village just outside of Nice, France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa-Lefty Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Active duty 1986-92 USMC spent 1st year after boot and school split between Okinawa Japan and Mt Fuji mainland Japan, most of the rest of the time spent with 1st BN 11th Marines but skated my last 9 months after the Gulf War as a Combat Water Survival instructor at the 43 Area training tank, Camp Pendleton CA. We did train the whole regiment in water survival and some outside units as well, but that was some beautiful TAD! Might of stayed in if I could have made a MOS change and did water survival training for the rest of my career! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXUSMC Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 USMC infantry 20 years, 2 months, 10 days 1974 - 1995 The best thing about being a Marine is that you never stop being a Marine... the oath we took to support and defend the Constitution has no expiration date. I'm fairly certain that many of my brother and sister soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Coast Guardsmen would agree. Semper Fidelis 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fast thinking Corpsman is the only reason I still have full (or real close to full) use of my right knee. Ours put my face back together on the mess hall tables of the ship. 36 stitches.

Tinyman Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Yo LexiKahn -- favorite huh -- you ever worked one?☺️ One of the famous jokes: Q - why do the wings sweep on a 111? A - so you can fit more in a dumpster. Honestly, 11 years on them wasn't really that bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 9 years THW reserve. It's a federal civil protection agency for technical relief. Basically the big brother of the Red Cross. FGr WP (B) division, most deployments had been flooding related. Pumping water out of the streets and out of flooded buildings. Does that count? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
