Marines?

Coast Guard?

Why did you choose that particular branch?

Where did you go to Basic Training or Boot Camp?

What is the name of your unit? (Division?) 

What is their (your) mascot?

Tell us how much you loved your DI!

How long were you at Boot Camp/Basic Training, before you questioned the parentage of the senior Drill Sergeant?How long were you in service before you realized that the instructors were right in all that they taught you?

 

Your first landing on an aircraft carrier

Your first parachute jump

The heaviest vehicle you got to drive

The largest weapon you got to use

Did you serve before email?

Did you have a personal nickname?

It is our pleasure and honor to be here for our Troops, past, present and future...
and especially during this Week, the 4th of July we remember that we owe our freedom to you.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice, and God bless you.

         

A gentle reminder from Ms.B:  
Please, no politics in The Canteen. 
The Troops need a place to rest, relax and relate, and that place is The Canteen.
Have fun and play nice!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I'll bet you didn't doubt those words!
Exhausting and dangerous work!
Words never seem enough to give you, but they are all I have..
Thank you, for your service and sacrifice, and for keeping us free..
We know who the REAL heroes are..
God Bless you..
Ms.B

Nite...((((LBH))))

I have a big, ol' stainless steel belt buckle with dolphins welded to it and my name/rate engraved on it. I comshawed the buckle for one clip from a set of dolphins and a frozen package of shrimp. ( I wonder if the Shore Patrol is going to show up because I comshawed something. The Navy would fall apart and be totally useless to the USA without comshaw. )

My wife keeps it in a little shrine on the book case with all of my other memoribilia from the military.

I had absolutely no idea she had that stuff and had actually laid it all out for all the world to see.

When I pass the curio and see that buckle and those dolphins I want to go back.

I never got qualed SS
My hats off to you

Submariners are the best (some what biased here)

Marines have impressed me with their spirit as well

[El Gran Salseron]

Yes, but the dolphins on a real ol' salt would be tarnished. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

So find me some tarnished ones!!!! Maybe they are in the shortcut folder. d:o)

[El Gran Salseron]

Strange you should mention Marines. I have somehow always felt a camaraderie with Marines.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Hello.

How are you?

Good bye.

I am going to bed. :)



SOMETIME tomorrow afternoon, I SHOULD be able to sneak on here a bit. She says, crossing her fingers and toes ....

[Diver Dave]

Hey, Dave! Good to see you here!

Thanks LUV.

Very interesting thread tonight. Got lots of pics and slides from the good ol days but haven't scanned that many, but here's one I took from our ship in Hong Kong harbor...

[El Gran Salseron]

EGS
Ive aways had a bias toward them as most services hold toward one another.

As years went by and I actually got to work with them I found they are beyond reproach.
The finest we have.
Marines are taught to use thier heads.
taught to think and overcome overwelming odds
Im proud to have made their aquaintence

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night, Sarge, and sleep well. Thank you for your service to our country.

[El Gran Salseron]

The grandson is visiting so tomorrow morning we are going to take him to IHOP for breakfast.

Can you guess which IHOP? Heh!

[mylife]

Have Machaca for me will you? ;)

[El Gran Salseron]

And I might be able to post a jpg of the belt buckle if I can mask the name. AH! DUCT TAPE!
