A good friend of mine did four years between ... let me think ... I think it was 1986 and 1990, so it looks like he was a contemporary of yours. I think he reached corporal.

One of my cousins, the youngest in our generation of the family, was in for a few years, probably from around '95 or so? Not sure what rank he achieved.

He was actually stationed in Okinawa for about half a year towards the end of his time, but we never managed to get in touch or hook up. (Kinda far, even in a small country.) He got(/has) a completely different picture of the Japanese than I have, because of the animosity towards the US bases down there. Doesn't believe me when I tell him they're not all like that.

(What branch was Freak in again, Army? I seem to remember something about Cavalry....)

Cavalry rings a bell, and his hair cut in his new ava is most certainly not regulation.

Happy birthday Jarheads!

(I was a cavalry scout in the army. Technically, Regular Army was the Branch of the military, Cavalry is a branch of the Army.)

233rd... Landmark year...

May you continue these years until you can battle exoskeletal aliens on a deserted colony planet alongside Sigourney Weaver.

Seriously though, I give you credit for being probably the most badass fighting force in the world. You're like the Sardaukar!

I didn't know Freak was i nthe arm, I salute you!

My Great Uncle was in the marines for about 2 or 3 years, never saw any action.

Hurm... 233 233. disturbing.

Big salute to all those who have served. I had a friend who was a tunnel rat in Vietnam. He was a lot smaller than I use to picture most marines. My husband had two cousins (twins) who served the marines proudly in Nam.

Thanks to all vets past and present. Semper Fi
