Great idea!
Your cover’s blown, lilyloo!
You got me. I was on a secret mission. It’s amazing how far some “Marine jewelry” on surplus uniform can get you. I had a dept head meeting with Gen Mattis and said “Sir, these men are the best of the best and by golly I think you should exonerate them now....please.”
My only regret was having to shave my head.
BTW, thanks for loaning me your hummer. I hope you don’t mind the serial #’s I had to spray paint on. I couldn’t show up in a POV.
Catchy, agent Lilyloo.
You spray painted my hummer???
And where’s my cigars???
I think you may have taken this a wee bit too far!
Sorry about the cigars, I bribed the gate guard with your Cubans.
No pictures, I might have to use the get up again, can’t risk it. I don’t recommend it, I found out I have one of those fat rolls on the back of my noggin. You know, when you can go up and grab it. So I almost blew it when I asked the General if my hat made me look fat!
LOL! I don’t know where you come up with this stuff! Y’all crack me up.
LOL, good thing I was already on the road when you wrote that!
I'm back for now, got some serious catching up to do ;~)
Hey, boats! Welcome back!
Here’s a quick update of where we be...
The Lt Grayson hearing, re-re-scheduled to commence today, isn’t on. No word from anyone about what’s going on.
The next hearing (that I know about) will be Sgt Wuterich on the 30th (a Thursday, oddly enough).
There could be a decision soon from Gen Mattis on the LtCol Chessani case and we may hear about the IO’s recommendation on the LCpl Tatum case.
Unless there is news on the Chessani and Tatum fronts, I imagine things will be quiet until the 30th.
The only recent news event of note is that Lt Col Riggs has recused himself from involvement in the Tatum case. Official word from the Corps is that it was voluntary. Scuttlebutt is that Gen Mattis demanded it.
On other fronts...
Nat Helms has written some good articles, and the Fallujah 04 case is moving forward. You’ll have pings a-plenty on all that.
Riggs ~ Grayson....is there an explanation/ scuttlebutt of what sort of conflict brought about Riggs taking a bow?
Riggs told IO Ware that he has exceeded his role in the Sharratt case. Riggs complained that Ware had left Mattis no choice but to dismiss all charges (rather than drawing up new charges).
Riggs told Ware to be more cautious when writing the Tatum recommendation.
Ware complained about command influence and Riggs is off the Tatum case.
Riggs is expected to be back for the Wuterich hearing.
