Richard; You know what, you're right. I seem to rant and rave alot, and even tend to hijack threads. This is a place to have fun, no doubt about, and most us do. Your words are heeded. Sorry guys. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

John,
Gotta remember that it was the USCG that runs the riverboats and landing craft when you guy go on ground. When it is a shore landing the three work togther.

That's because I got thrown into the wrong crowd. Bad enough when I do it on my own. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif You must have missed the second part <font color="blue">Golfgar, your son is close to doing the right thing. I wouldn't trade my spent days for anything. Now, just sway him to "a better way of life". The US Air Force. Air travel is much better than sea or land, the food is better, "exotic foreign travel" tends to be shorter in length, etc.. One of my personal favorites to irritate the army folk I work with now, in the Air Force you check to see which accomodations accept Visa . No one is expected to carry their bed with them.

<font color="blue"> The things you learn about self respect, integrity, morality... is something I think each 18 year old would benefit from.
</font> Due in some part to PC, from what I see, some of those core values are not as strongly instilled. Don't get me too wrong because what I see in the "outside world" is worse.

I was 82-86, attached to the 4th MAW, in a RAG (training) outfit on Whidbey Island EA-6B's. Newbie officers all around breaking planes.

trouble, "does not slew in third position"
Fix, "third position is OFF, NTF"

trouble. "ADI ball not moving"
Fix. "moved switch to on position,NTF"
(that was for a navy pilot on det, he was the XO of his squadron)

BTW the code for NTF is 11-A-799, I used it a lot /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

This is getting too weird (queue music from the Twilight Zone).
- 3 of the 4 Marines listed so far all served the same years (82-86)
- You and I both worked on EA-6B's (I worked "I" level on the jammers) prior to switching to helicopters.
- You and I currently live 20 miles apart.
- If we dug deeper, we may find we were stationed together. Marine1 and I were in Jacksonville together. If you did EA-6B's, do I assume correctly you were stationed at Millington probably in 1983?

Re: I\'m a New Member

I knew the world was small, but not this small. Three Marines from the same years? Who knew? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Marine Corps Birthday is in 5 days. Be sure to toast our Brothers and Sisters who are in harms way and let's not forget our fallen on Veterans Day.
Thanks to all who served and are currently serving our country.
Thanks to everyone for the kind welcome. This is a great site. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
