Resolved: That two Battlaions of Marines be raised... That they be enlisted and commissioned for and during the present war between Great Britain and the Colonies...


To those I know, and knew, and the many, many more I don't;

I don't know if you read his journal, but if not, I highly commend wcg to you as fine reading by a Fellow Marine.

Thanks. I do occasionally pop over there (via you and a couple other Flist connections). It's one of my quirky little things, I like to read, and I like to see what people I know/correspond with read. And actually, technically, I wasn't a Marine.

I was a Doc.

To many, if not all Marines, a difference that makes no difference.

Hello there, pecker checker. Pleased to make your acquaintence. I figure anyone who's made it through FMSS and has served with us makes the cut.

Semper Fi Doc.

Weeelll... it's a bit more convoluted than that. Never went through FMSS; was assigned to a Surgical Support Team, did get activated. Mostly, though, what I know a bunch of Uncle Sam's Mental Cases took good care of me when needed, official or not. So I do what I can to return the favor.

Pleased to meet you, too, jarhead. Feel free to drop by again.

It's a November 10th tradition: every year on this day, Sgt. Tinne calls up Yari to see what's new, how he's doing and reminisce about Parris Island.
