Enjoy your time, and save your money. I was able to dump a butt-load of cash on my car when I got back.

Thank you for serving. It's folks like you who give us the freedom to do what we enjoy back here.

If I might offer a piece of advice.........Boredom can turn into complacency, I saw it happen years ago in RVN.

Stay on your toes and keep your alert level up.

Have a safe and thankful Christmas and New Year.

Big props to you for having the ***** to sign up. You'll come out a better man for it. Take care man and be safe. BTW, check the sig. I've opened my own shop and will give you some great "military" pricing if you ever want a motor built or mods installed. Just holler at me

Take it easy bro.

Glad to hear all..

Im with "TF NCR" THats "national capital region"

Pretty much.. the "every Marines a rifleman" thing was put to the test.. We are the Marine corps experiment to send a bunch of POGs here to act as 03's

we did almost months of workups and wea re doing pretty good.. but being mostly POGs it has turned into Quantico in Iraq... The lightened up on the by the book bullshit ot that we have been here for a while but it still gets super GHey at times.
