Anyone that wears a suit and puts his medals on, there is something wrong IMO. The only uniform in the Marine Corps you wear medals on is the Dress Blue Alphas and Evening Dress. I have never even had my medals mounted to wear them for that. That might be because I’m cheap though.... : )
Quite frankly, I didn’t even like wearing my ribbons all that much because I could not stand having people ask me about things like that. I hated standing for inspection and getting inspected by some captain with perhaps two ribbons and getting comments.
I like your moniker. I take it you ran into a few jarheads in the gator navy... Perhaps we were on the same ship. I hated LSTs.
Ha! Just a few.
Perhaps we were on the same ship.
LST-1198, LKA-116, LST-1189, LPD-8, LPD-10, LSD-50.
