Sorry Marine -- You're Too Old

Smoke Signal (Vanity) Times | 10-3-01 | CHIEF negotiator

[CHIEF negotiator]

The nerve of that Marine Corps recruiter telling me I'll too old to re-up!

I said,

"But I'm a 2nd Force Recon Scout Sniper that can still pic-a-tic off a gnat's ass @ 1K meters, in a snow storm! We lay-in-wait, and over the last 30 years I've had a lot of experience. Snipers only need to be able to "snoop & poop" and carry a 50 caliber. We don't have to do 50 squat thrusts before lights out, or hump 20 miles in full pack before sunrise! Put me up against your best 20 year old. It takes a lot to get a snipers heartrate up, 'cause we've been trained to "relax" if you want "one shot -- one kill", and I invented "relax".

I'll die my hair to cover the gray, get lippo-suction and a face-lift, if you can push this paperwork through, Sergeant."

He didn't go for it. Should I lie about my age?

Sweet dreams, CHIEF. We'll all miss you.

I knew some 18-year Pfcs at MCAF New River in late '67 when I got there as a LCpl just out of school!

Oh, CHIEF is still with us at Free Republic,
in fact I have it from a good source that
CHIEF now has "HIGHER" speed access and never a busy signal or disconnect.

[El Gato]

The current bad guys don't even have a Navy

They sure do have a Navy, of sorts anyway. It was a boat that got the Cole. I also wouldn't put it past them to hijack a ship carrying something nasty, like PNG or nitrates(fertilizer), and set that puppy off in one of our harbors. Not giving away anything there as it was reported on TV that the CG got antsy about a PNG carrier somewhere in the northeast, Boston maybe? I was under the influence of morphine at the time due to back surgery, and wasn't paying my normal close attention.

[JoeSixPack1]

That was great SB. I am always amazed how some have the nack for tributes. You have that nack.

I had to go hide for a few minutes myself. Chief will not be forgotten.

[JoeSixPack1]

Your right about the USS Cole, but as is said, trick me once shame on you, trick me twice, shame on me.

As for the carrier you spoke of thats news to me and i didn't get any morphine at all..:-)

[Snow Bunny]

Thank you, you are very dear too. Thank you for being in my life. I am so glad we have met on here.
(((( hug ))))

[Snow Bunny]

Yes you are right. Like if I keep coming here he is not really gone.

[Ramius]

Bravo Zulu, Marine...

You got that right. I am here for the umteenth time this week.. It just sort of lets us pretend for a few moments that he is still here. It still seems like just a bad dream.

[Citizen of the Savage Nation]

Somehow, spending every day at FR, I have just found out...you will be sorely missed. I really enjoyed the CHIEF's Fair Tax threads.

[sjeann]

Here's the thread I was telling you about!!

[Bush2000]

I met with the Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla Commander today and it turns out that I have a few skills that they need and can utilize.

I'm just joking when I ask this but ... Chipping paint? Scrubbing decks/toilets? What?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"Chipping paint? Scrubbing decks"

LOL! Well I sure do know how to do that!
But my expeirence as a taxi dispatcher and webmaster is what I was talking about!
