The DEADLINE for input is November 15, please
contact McGehee. Any input (crying) after the
15th will be put in the great circular file.
This has been bouncing up in the air for to
long. The fact that some of you cannot afford
the trip is being jammed up by the fact that
we keep ignoring the deadline for the possibility
to take advantage for one. That means the sooner
we get an actual number of people that is going
to make it, the better chance we have of getting
a decent room rate. CHEAP GOOD FOOD. Have any
of you ever been to Vegas?
David (Pennington) has already ñnetworkedî with
several people, including the local union, for
us to get a great deal.
Hilton already has his wife Darlene humping
the hills, and he may be in school for the time
of the reunion. So who is at a greater loss?
People? WTF? Step up to the plate. The kids
CAN do without THAT many toys, and the wives
can wait.
This is a reunion of a bunch of great people.
I love you people dearly. This is NOT a TOUR
of Vegas. We are going to be hounding the streets,
talking about old times. NOT taking the wives
to see magic shows or shopping. ThatÍs the money
that you should spend on yourself, in Vegas.
Sure the wives wonÍt like it, but oh well. Bring
them the next time you go to Vegas. Nothing
personal guys, but I'm worried about YOUR happiness
when you see each other, after a minimum of
8 years. THATÍS what its all about. Remember
that? Or was THAT all a bunch of crap?
ThatÍs it, with no sugar on top. Someone had
to do it. Some of you may be mad about this,
IÍll get over it.
I am also posting this on the site, for everyone
to see. If you need a hand, maybe some of us
can help each other out. Not paying for it,
just a ñlittle helpî |

I
was First Sergeant of Kilo 3/7 after you Grizzly
Warriors returned state-side... also the oldest
man in 7th Marines at the time. My warrior years
were with Hotel 2/1 in Vietnam (68-70).
Enjoyed reading of your exploits in this site...
triggers fond memories. If you haven't posted
yet, please do so. Trust me, you will cheerish
these sea-stories as you advance in years.
Another way to stay in touch is in the Internet
Gaming Community. Old warriors can run fast
and jump high again... on the Internet.
I play first-person-shooter games, mainly the
Delta Force series by Novalogic. Using programs
like Ventrilo, Roger Wilco, and Team Speak,
I play realistic wargames while speaking to
other players live and on-line on a nightly
basis... many are veteran warriors from all
over the world. Even ran into Jarheads and Squids
I had lost track of years ago. Made new friends
too, old warriors eager to experience the comradship
of days gone by. Some have colorful character
names like "RustyZipper" a Vietnam Huey pilot
from Arizona. We even have a USMC General in
our mix. We are warriors, cops, paramedics,
doctors and housewives... do battle with that
housewife, she'll humble you....

Story: |
I
had just taken over as First Sergeant of Kilo
3/7 and everyone, including the Company Commander,
was wondering about me.
One of our best Sergeants screwed up big time
and it was left to me to decide his punishment.
The Sergeant Major wanted his head (courts martial).
This Sergeant of Marines won the Bronze Star
in Desert Storm... this, in my eyes, granted
him a "get out of jail free card." He will be
punished but he will be punished in a dignified
manner.
I made the Sergeant wait outside my office for
45 minutes to an hour, standard operating procedure...
I would sweat him, the same treatment I endured
numerous times in my career.
I ordered the Sergeant into my office and he
reported smartly and appropriately... he was
a pro. I then stood, walked over to my office
door and gently shut it in the Company Commander's
face... he and the Platoon Commanders were courious
but this was none of their business at the moment.
I asked the Sergeant to be seated and poured
us a cup of coffee.
After I seated myself, I asked him one question...
"What have we learned, Sergeant?"
I will not betray what the Sergeant told me.
He did convince me that he had done what any
self-respecting NCO would do in similar circumstances.
What had he done?
The Sergeant had covered for one of you "Grizzly"
Marines. One of you went "UA" and had been UA
for three days before this fact came to light.
The Sergeant put himself at risk to protect
a fellow Desert Storm warrior... you see, comradship
extends well beyond the battlefield.
I let the Sergeant choose his own punishment,
off the books. He faithfully executed this punishment...
I checked on him periodically until I was satisfied
that he was a man of honor. I even did battle
against my superiors on his behalf concerning
his next Fitness Report, the initial submission
was a soup-sandwich and I could not abide that.
This sort of thing went on continuously behind
closed doors or in whispered conversations between
SNCOs and NCOs... lest you Marines and sailors
think that your SNCOs/NCOs did not care about
you.
What goes around comes around. When I retired,
I was presented with gifts from the Marines
and sailors of Kilo 3/7. These gifts included
a brand new Colt .45 Commander, a "steel pot"
with Vietnam era camouflage cover, 782 Gear
of the 'Nam era, a very rare pistol holster,
one with "USMC" on the holster flap, and a huge
3 foot by 5 foot plaque with the pictures of
"my" Kilo 3/7 Marines and sailors.
The "old man" cheerishes those gifts and has
fond memories of his brothers-in-arms.
Semper Fidelis

Sangi you spelling bee champion! Try getting

As for the johnson pic from PI... I distinctly
remember you, with your lifetime bar fine, soon
to be mail order bride, up stairs in the bungalow
in Grande Island? and hearing you say ñMike
come up stairs and bear witness of a force feeding
and by the way bring the camera.î Hell? you
even remember an audio recording of a back door
forced entry from the same simian looking ñworking
girlî and proudly playing your victory episode
over and over in the squad bay?
As for the Vienna sausage pic from FL? you weÍre
back to the same old Sangi? someone passes out
and you try to force feed someone again? this
time you weÍre dumb enough to try it with a
Marine that sleeps with his 45? imagine a down
syndrome, gorilla back looking closet *** hunkering
over another guyÍs face at night, when we should
be sleeping. Your camera, your idea and your
homosexual tendencies?
By the way who wants to be SangiÍs roommate

Only the guys from 1st plt will remember this
one. Just before we went to japan we were out
in the stumps doing night patrol training. We
set up our tents on a small hill with another
bigger hill next to it. I had to shit so I went
to the bigger hill right as these tanks drove
around the front of our position, then around
the hill and started popping cs grenades. I
saw the smoke coming over the back of the hill
toward the platoon so I shot off some blanks
and stood up bare assed making the gas warning
signal with my arms. needless to say, you all
thought I was insane, but I had the brains to
wait until the cs was gone to come back down,
those tankers pulled a good one on us that night.
Also in Thailand in the jungle this little dog
started following us around for a day or two
and come chow time one of us gave it the M.R.E.
no one wanted( beef with BBQ sauce) the dog
wouldnt eat it but someone went to take a shit
and the dog ran over and chowed down on the
crap
Then there is the earthquake when we were in
the aditorium and no one wanted to be the first
one to run out, but when one guy moved we all
were out in less than 5 seconds |

Ahhh
Lyman.....If there was ever a marine who brought
more humor to a unit, god help him. On weekend
Gunny asked for some volunteers, but didnt tell
us what it was for. Lyman got 'voluntered',
only to find out we were going to be escorts
for the Miss Teen Yucca Valley competition.
We all got to wear our blues and look quite
spit polished and were invited back to the winners
mothers house for a party afterword. Lyman got
so messed up he passed out in a chair and wet
himself. Twice. He misplaced his Dress Blues
Coat in Sgt Wagners old scout harvester. He
had to wear just the trousers and his white
t-shirt onto base the next day, where some WM
pulled over in the parking lot to tear his ass
apart for being out of uniform. Damn that was
great time...... |
