@bisquik3006 the trackers have it a little easier than we did. no more
narrow ass LST's to aim for, look at the USS New Orleans. fucking stern is
wide as an end-zone. I used to dread my 8 months at Pendelton (twice) the
stumps SUCKED. But I was an east coast Marine. We would just have to deal
with the Bragg boys on the weekend when we would both try to claim Myrtle
Beach. They don't party like we used to back then brother. when a girl had
the choice of a Marine and an soldier, I got the pussy.
Ex Marine SSgt Mike Casillas ( SSgt "C" ) Last duty station 1987 1st Trk
Veh. Bn. Camp Schwab Oki.. Any old, old, Marines from back then still in
please e-mail me. I miss it all. People I knew back then in "87" when I got
out with disability. - SSgt. Biggers Tanks, Cpl. Delapp and Cpl Grosse,
Sgt. Barnes, Ssgt Febobigio. Amtracks.If you know or can get in touch with
any of these Marines tell them [email protected] needs to hear about
the YAT YAS life again. Semper-Fi.
@bisquik3006 just once? spent most of your time at the stumps state-side? I
don't think I went a week without splashing at least one time the entire
time I was in. used to scare the hell out of my boys climbing back onto the
LST. Got real good at it, no one could handle the hog like me. The green
grunts were the best cause you could scare the hell out of them. go off a
little slow and shake em up real good. YAT YAS brother.
@MyMigel123 87? I was @ Schwab in 86/87, and rotated back in 89. EAS'd in
Nov. 89, was bravo co. SSgt. O'neal, Gunny Maldanaldo, Capt. Lardie.
Henoko, Kinville, Nago I miss that place too man. Would like to go back
once before I die, just as a civilian. The Okinawa people were pretty cool.
Were you there for typhoon Vera? If memory serves me right that was 86 or
87. That was a hell of a storm. Semper Fi brother.
@wvufanngarner We did our share of trax training, but not a lot of
splashing. I guess they didn't think we would be in the water in Iraq, lol.
Field ops got fun once I picked up Cpl. I was never stationed up in the
stumps, but I spent a lot more time than I wanted to up in that shit box.
