Alerts, call forward, all the deployments. Being constantly exhausted, cold, hungry and wet! All the great friends along the way, the jokes, and good times and serving with Great Americans. The "Bad" of out of control political correctness and the decay of the military from a profession of "arms" to a job for pregnant mommies.

Respecting NCO's and dealing with sergeants. There IS a big difference!

Spending 6 years in the Marines gives you A LOT of stories and a LOT of memories... There is never just 1 thing that stands out, but depending on the conversation, there are MANY different stories that can be retold and relevant

Army from '62 to '68. So many thngs I wouldn't know where to start. Hurry up and wait for openers and then the old "saddle up" like we were late for something.

Yeah, too many stories to tell. Lotsa ridiculous regulations. Blowing up abandoned tanks was always fun.

LOL, yes that was always fun. A leisurely day out on the range with my trusty 3.2 inch rocket launcher aka bazooka.

eh... I was kinda partial to the MK-19... I dunno what I liked more... the fact that it's a fully automatic grenade launcher... or the rapid fare BOOM-BOOM-BOOM from the rounds exploding on their target

Unfortunatly I never got to play with that toy. How about using an M-1 as a grenade launcher. Really scary.
