Sure wish I was there. Went through 2nd Mar Div scout/sniper school but never got to play in a big game.

The Corps was a different place then however, after Vietnam, patriotism was low, politics were liberal.

Remember people flipping me off when I'd wear my Dress Blues on leave.

Oh well, watcha gonna do.

I know what you mean, Cap'n.
The Corps didn't change, but some of the American people made it rough to be a Marine for a little while.
I'm SOOO damn happy to see that turned around - at least, by most.

Don't forget prairie gorrilla hunting in SD and ND and TX and CO and NB, WY etc.

14000 rounds last two years. Leaving may 6 for first of three more trips this summer.

Put that skill to use.

Thanks for serving, sir!

Trying to offset in some small way the *s who flipped you off in the 70s.

Don't forget to thank John Kerry and Hanoi Jane....wouldn't have happened in my neck of the woods, the kids would have chipped in their pop bottle money to buy you a beer.
