Miltary past or present?
« on: July 09, 2008, 11:20:29 AM »
Always curious to see who if anyone in forums are military member, past or present.

So, which branch, MOS, station.

Obviously by my sig I'm a Marine.  2141 (Amphibious Tracs) and was stationed in Pendleton with many visits to the Stumps and one float to Oki and Perth.

I am not in the military, but I do want to say thanks to all of you that are/were in the armed services. Words can not really describe how grateful I and so many others are for the sacrifices you have made.

Look at my avatar and you know I was a former Marine.  Started with 81mm mortars at LeJeune.  Went on NATO cruise to Germany and tore up the countryside for a month. Ports of call were fabulous: Copenhagen, Goteborg, Edinburgh(played St. Andrews!) & Amsterdam.  Also went on 6 week hump of the Norwegian mountains 300 miles north of Arctic Circle(most miserable 6 wks of my life!).  Been to the Stumps several times (glorious all-forces nightime fireworks!) and ended up at MCLB Albany, GA where I was introduced to computers.  Semper Fi to all. :flag:

USN Midshipman, 'stationed' at the University of Washington in Seattle. Contracted for Surface Warfare Officer.

I have been working with a part of the Navy for the last 5 years, though.  One of the things I got to do for awhile (and sadly this weekend is the last of it) is work with/as the MAA... I've been out working at NAVSTA Ingleside, NAS Corpus Christy, Camp San Louis Obispo (Nat'l Guard), now at NAS-JRB Fort Worth (FMC Carswell), and many many others...

Gip-- glad to see there's another navy man in the bunch...

The "ramp" where I worked in Del Mar (Pendleton) was right across the street from one of the 1stMarDiv Recon's.  Never saw them...  'cept for the lil glow sticks out in the jetty late at night!

Got the chance to see one of my buddies "initiated" into a Recon platoon though!  Bunch of crazy bastids!  Ceremony was more intense than when I got my blood stripes.  Good bunch of guys though!

Semper Fi!  YAT YAS!!
