Sanders,
I had succesfully shut that night out of my
memory for the last 13 years. Just thinking
about that operation makes me quiver with sleep
deprevation, rain soaked boots and attacks by
viscious bannana spider and cobras. If it wasnt
for that bananna flavoerd ice milk we could
buy for a nickle I'd have gone completley insane. |

Story: |
A
couple of them; A corporal that was new to Lima
company just before we deployed to Oki and the
PI had been on barracks duty in the PI a few
years before. He bragged about how he knew the
jungle like the back of his hand and could find
his way around blindfolded. Well he might as
well have bene blindfolded because the second
night on the first patrol he walked right off
the edge of a cliff (sound familiar summers?)
and had to be evacuated with a neck brace.
Buch and Cregg will remember this one, I was
reminded of it while at the zoo this weekend;
Doing a jungle land nav course in panama, we
were severily lost (2+ hours past due and still
didnt know where we were) and had no maps other
than those published in the 1950's. We decided
to follow a stream west until we hit the canal
and civilization. While walking down a small
stream, an otherwise motionless cayman (at the
time it looked like something off of the Discovery
Channel) slide into the water. The only thing
we really saw was the tail disappear into the
water. Us Marines that stood tall in the face
of battle did our best impression of JC walking
on water trying to scramble up the bank and
not become lunch for some paleozoic relic. And
then there were the Ants and Bees, but thats
another story. |

that was the funniest thing you ever did. I
can still hear you yell and sound of bushes
and branches being toppeled. That will teach

How
goes it brothers I just thought I would drop
you a line and say hello. Every thing here in
Iraq is as usual. Even though we gave them their
soverenty it is business as usual for all of
us. Things havent really changed as far as that
goes. We had a good wake up call this morning
6 12mm rockets hit our area, one of them hit
our MWR tent and put a hole in the roof, no
one was hurt thank god. If they would have knocked
out our internet access there would have been
hell to pay that's for damn sure, little fuckers.
Got to run take care and be safe.

What
if everyday you woke up not knowing if you'd
be able to get out of bed or hold your child?
For many people with multiple sclerosis, this
is their reality.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) usually strikes adults
in the prime of life - between the ages of 20
and 50. It is a chronic disease of the central
nervous system affecting the brain and spinal
cord. One new case of MS is diagnosed every
hour. It comes and goes unpredictably, leaving
people to wonder, "Will I become paralyzed,
blind or have trouble walking? Will I be able
to raise my family and continue my career?"
I am joining in the fight against this devastating
disease. On July 17th and 18th I will be participating
in the 2004 MS Bike Tour, cycling 150 miles
in 2 days. I have a goal of raising $1000.00
to support the National MS Society. I am asking
for your help in making my goal. Please click
on the "To Sponsor Me" link below and sponsor
me online today. Every dollar means that we
are closer to a cure.
Thank you!

Talked
with Msgt Cross a week or so ago, also made
contact with Lindo and Sloan.
Last I heard Schindler was 100 percent. Just
sent him a box of geedunk, thats pogey bait
for you boots out there ha ha...
also sending shitoads of smokes to the boys
of Lima 3/7 after this weekend, rounded up three
hundred buck, so its a little something. Mikes
contact on the website of 3/7 was a good gear
list of what they wanted.....post note joke
in the first package, I had sent some pork rinds,
guess thats ironic for a muslim coun try...tough
shit I say!
Anyways, as a broke ass individual I found ways
and means to send some love to our brothers
over there in some form or another..I hope some
of you guys take
the time and figure it out. I found great support
from local business people and older era Marines...our
brothers will always be in need of support despite
political views, as they alway end up in extreme
situations....Tonight I will toast all you magnificent
bastards oorah
and I am out.

This
weekend, take a moment to remember Captain Gannon,
Cpl Gibson and LCpls Wasser, Smith, Valdez,
and VanLeuven who most recently have been taken
from their families. They are the reason why
we celebrate, and to not puase for a moment
of silence would be to tarnish their memories
and sacrifices and the memory and sacrifice
of generatiosn that have gone before them. |

Ditto,
did you talk to Crusoe?
Jim, did you bring back photos from VZ?
Any body interested in relocating to Chicago?
The Chicago Public Schools, The Illinois State's
Attorney's Office and The Chicago Transit Authority
are all looking for investigators and high level
security personnel. Starting pay ranges from
around $39K to $75K depending on education and
experience. College degree is preferred and
prior military (particularly USMC) is highly
regarded. I am on the Homeland Security Advisory
Council for Chicago so this could be a good
opportunity for those who are interested. Call
or e-mail me if you have any questions.

And
one last funny story. "Army vs Marine" Taken
from http://www.grunt.com/ |
| Favorite
Story: |
I
think the argument about which force is best
is easily settled by the news and history. Last
year we took the country of Iraq. Who did it?
95% of the fighting was done by the Marine MEU's
and the Royal Marines UNDER THE COMMAND OF AN
ARMY GENERAL. The Army divisions were told to
"go long", the Rangers did a big PR jump up
in Kurd country but no significant contact.
The Marines kicked ass all the way up to Baghdad
and turned it over to the Doggies. Almost a
year later, here comes the Worlds Finest back
into the picture and the **** hits the fan.
Who handles the bad guys? The SEALS? No they
were with the Discovery Channel making a documentary
on their eliteness featuring their new $1 Million
silent drive Fountian boats. The Rangers? Nope,
they are in Afghanistan holding down the frontier.
Its just those damn jarheads again. Nothing
special, just Marines. Not a bit different from
any other Marine of any other time. Could be
the same damn bunch that took Guadalcanal or
punched a big hole in the Chinese at Chosin.
All that talk about who is elite is a bunch
of crap. It all breaks down to two categories.
Those did the deed and those that have to hype
themselves with intangible titles. |

funny stories. "Army vs Marine" Taken from http://www.grunt.com/ |

Ya
kinda got it right, Iraq invaded on the 2d of
August, the 82d Airborne sent their "Ready Brigade".
They arrived arrived in-country 4th of August
(they arrived with M-551 Sheridan tanks (Real
light tank.....real light (Aluminum hull and
turret) and ugly) We, HMLA-369 "Gunfighters"
were the first Marine Unit in-country on 15
August. The 82d had food and water supplies
for 90 days, and enough ammo for 30 days. We
had enough ammo for 6 months and enough food
and water for 30 days. We watched as more of
the 82d arrived later, ........Hell! they had
C-5A's landing and off loading pallets of "Filled"
sandbags. We brought empties and filled our
own! We and the 82d's "Ready Brigade" provied
support for each other at Jabail Airport. This
went on till about the end of Septemeber as
the build up gained momentum.
-------------------------------------------------
Mooch- HMLA-369 was not the first Marine unit
in country at Daharan. I got off the same bird
as you. 1/5 beat us there by 2 hours, however,
2 hours after we landed our birds were deployed
armed and ready for combat further north ahead
of them (we always thought the grunts were supposed
to be between the bad guys and us!). At the
time, our mechanics went and asked the army
mechs how long until they were combat ready
(they had like 50 Apaches on the runway there).
Their answer was "about another week and a half."
Their subsequent interrogative to us was the
same question to which we replied, "See those
birds taking off over there....! That's us!"
As to our supply of ammo..... after our birds
took off we finished unloading our pallets off
the C-5 and placed them with every other units
pallets with one major difference... we stationed
pallet guards on them. The next morning an USAF
bubba with his forklift loaded our pallets onto
a flatbed trailer and then asked if any of the
others were ours?.... Our pallet guards looked
around and didn't see any other pallet guards,
so........... ;-) Let's just say that when we
got to Al Jubayl, our ordnance crew spent all
nite spray painting "USMC" over "US ARMY" on
a bunch of hellfire and tows we suddenly, mysteriously
acquired. Semper Fi. (Name withheld to protect
the ...uhm innocent, yeah that's it, the innocent!)
"I got mine!" The unofficial motto of HMLA-369
Gunfighters! |

To
lighten up the message board... I found these
funny stories. "Army vs Marine" Taken from http://www.grunt.com/ |

Story: |
I
pulled a training op up at Fort Erwin. I was
with FSSG at the time. The op-training plan
called for us being a rear echelon support unit
defending against a mechanize force (the Army)
which had broken through. They had a Marine
CWO food service officer, who hadbeen in the
Nam as a grunt. The cooks and ration supply
guys were assigned a section of the premiter
to defend. After conferring with the CO, he
laid out is LP's and OP's etc. One of the things
he did was to have the cooks, dig a hold in
a gulley, strung with trip flares and cans.
An Army fireteam of Rangers came through, tripped
off the trip flare, fell into the hole, rattling
cans all over the place. The Marine cooks on
the hill opened up on them with their MARS equipped
rifles, etc. and they were declared dead, wonunded
and or captured. They were moved to the POW
holding area. The Marine cooks really enjoyed
tormenting these guys. Every chance they got
they would remind them that they'd been wipped
out and / or captured by a bunch of Marine Cooks!
LOL! |

Ok
you dumb clowns... It was only a matter of time...
I now have to moderate and approve all posting
from here on out... this site is used for our
communication and not the enjoyment of your
pea brained amusement... Some story telling
and name callings are fine but this insensitive
and politically incorrect B.S. is out of control.
If you have something to say, have the balls
to email them directly and not post your rants
here. Any more of this crap and I will banish
you forever... I know who you are and can track
what you do on the message board.
I apologize to everyone who uses this site for
it's real purpose and will post the messages
as I receive and approve them... I apologize
in advance for any delays.
I removed all the offensive postings and am
sorry for any accidental deletions.
