Howdy All,

I'm new to this site, so here I am introducing myself. I will be 72 y/o this 5 June. Other than the fact that I am old, the following is about all you need to know. I am a United States Marine.

Looking forward to hear more about you.. Many of us are retired here so you will fit right in.. Just one suggestion..expect people to oppose you ( some not to nicely ) no matter what you support...lol

Here is a marching song we used to sing:

G/I beans and G/I gravy,
Gee I wish I'd joined the Navy,
4 square meals served every day,
With the fleet you sail away,
Left oh right oh lay-eft.

Semper Fi, old man.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Thanks for your years of service...

Will you post frequently or do VA appointments get in the way?

 

[a777pilot]

I have never been to the VA. as to posting often, we will see. I'm still taking the measure of this site.

Welcome, young man! FYI, Divine.Wind was a Navy/Marine pilot and williepete was a naval aviator. They'll be here later to get some pointers.

 

[a777pilot]

I find that curious and surprising. No Naval Aviator worth his salt can learn anything. We were told, and we believe this, once awarded your Wings of Gold you know everything there is to know about aviation.

Sometimes, I scare myself.

Welcome Marine. My Marine Corps years were '75 to '85 and ended flying CH-46s at MCAS Tustin with two deployments to MCAS Futenma and a tour as a RAG instructor. Due to the RIF of '85, many of my fellow Marines and myself crossdecked to the Navy.

Currently, retired Navy, still a Marine.

Unfortunately, my size has changed in the last 3 years. I can no longer fit into my dress blues. No matter since I plan to be cremated and thrown off a boat via our VA benefits. Free flag to the wife, of course.
