OPPS!!!!!! Hey... I never was good at dates!

That's true! Just ask... any of us!

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_L._Jones

"In January 1967, Jones was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. Upon completion of The Basic School at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, in October 1967, he was ordered to the Republic of Vietnam, where he served as a platoon and company commander with Golf Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines. While overseas, he was promoted to first lieutenant in June 1968.

Returning to the United States in December 1968, Jones was assigned to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, where he served as a company commander until May 1970."

October, 1967, to December, 1968?

Gadzooks! This clown has only 1 year, two months... more combat experience than Office of the President-Elect nObama!

God help the former United States of America!

Well, he certainly hasn’t spent any time on active duty since Vietnam, although he seems to have steadily climbed the career ladder.

One thing stood out for me, apart from his recent role in advising the Senate, which may have endeared him to Obama:

“Remaining in Washington, his next assignment was as the Marine Corps liaison officer to the United States Senate, where he served until July 1984. In this assignment, his first boss was John McCain, then a U.S. Navy captain.[2] He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in September 1982.”

Curious coincidence.
