Great story! He definitely was not in my STA Unit and with 1Bn 8th Marines. We were the Scout/Snipers there at the time of the bombing.
Do you know his MOS?

Fucking sucks, but we may not just be living it. We may have to fight for it in short order of the communists get their way.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
The leftist scum trying to destroy our country right now don't know the meaning of service and sacrifice to country.

Just read this and realized @Rock two-five that you were a Masshole at one time.
Have you found freedom?
Damn how did I miss this... welcome Rock 2-5. Thank you for your service sir.
Was watching this thread as It was happening, and couldn't find it again, thanks for bumping it. And yes, this is probably the best thread I've seen on the hide.
Always been free. Even back there lol! Left the Northeast when I joined the Corps and never looked back.
hahaha. That is an Epic first post. I only knew the shooter in the photo as Rock Two Five. Been fallowing you on IG for a while now. Waiting for that 460 to get broke loose.
welcome aboard.
Thanks! Yeah that 460 is taking forever but I will get it fired up by the end of Summer.hahaha. That is an Epic first post. I only knew the shooter in the photo as Rock Two Five. Been fallowing you on IG for a while now. Waiting for that 460 to get broke loose.
welcome aboard.
Blows my mind how fast people forget the lives laid down willingly for a better life, not for themselves, but for their children. With 3 boys our daily prayers include thanking our soldiers past and present.

The cover you are wearing in your avatar (assuming that is you in the avatar)........same one in your Beirut photo?

Yes, that's me but no the old Bush cover and all my Cammies were reduced to shreds as the years had gone by.
The one I'm wearing in my Avi is a "Crye precision" boonie.
I was going to say "If that old hat could talk it needs its own subforum"
When I showed up at 3/8 a few guys were still wearing ERDL utilities.
As a boot I looked with envy at their salty shit compared to my new NYCO woodlands.
That was a great camo pattern but those rip stops just didnt last physically or they faded to a bright non camo shade.
Lol, yeah I liked those old Cammies we wore. We called them Poplin's I believe?

Things like this thread are one of the only good uses of the net IMHO...love seeing people come together over common pasts/interests. Plus it’s just plain cool to read through threads like this!
Thanks for the backstory Rock!

Ah... more details on this truck please!!!Lol, no, just a Ford ,big block 460 for my 1 ton
A SAW would be nice too
I have a thing for big displacement engines!
Cheers,

That’s good to know. I was gonna pop off and say a 460 saw ain’t worth your time. At least get a 365 or the next bigger XP, the 372XP. Better yet, there’s an 880 Magnum with my name on it!Lol, no, just a Ford ,big block 460 for my 1 ton

I’ve climbed behind a 460 WBY and it’s not something I’ll pursue long term!
460 moterciccle might be a lot of fun.
My 1-ton has a Cummins 5.9L Turbocharged. After going diesel I don’t want to go back. 375K miles and it still pulls a 16K lb. trailer around.

460 Mag pulls some chain.

We're gonna have to start a vintage saw thread. Biggest tree I ever dumped was with a Stihl 064. 7 ft. on the stump, cottonwood. Biiggest tree I ever dumped logging was a ponderosa at just over 6 ft. with a Husky 2198 with a 5 ft. bar. Best two saws I ever ran in regular wood was a Stihl 044 and a Husky 272. Both rocked on anything up to 24" and had no issues doubling through up to 36". There weren't enough 4' ers around to make life difficult.372XPW! Dont get me started on fucken saws!
Anyhow, a SAW isn't on my list. That POS can go to anyone else that might want one. I'd take a 60 cuz I know how to run one. I have no idea on what the quirks are for a 240.
I wouldn't waste ten cents on a johnnyred.
Added: SCHITT!...they're already up to 572's! Beeen a long while since I last logged.

That Jred is a Husky 372... but with the red dress and bit sexier..IMO...LOL
The Husky 272... I have a sweet spot for those! I had 2 of them, they were like my little pets! Probably one of the greatest all time saws.
Limbin' buckin' animals
Added: I loved Stihls, but you always had to spend extra to winter-kit 'em. They ran just as good as Husky's/Johnny's in the cold when you did. It's always amazed me how Stihl could miss that...
I forgot to mention if you have a 460 in a vehicle, it might as well be as big as your truck as you are gonna need that big of a wallet to pay for the gas?
Lol, no, just a Ford ,big block 460 for my 1 ton

Should you have a medium reg or medium short top...........
ERDL is a cool camo.
The evolution of US camo is pretty cool and if people knew they would be calling for us to get rid of some of them.

Been looking for a poplin top in a half assed manner on EBay.
Put a few bids in just haven't landed one yet.
Dont go out of your way and consider the grandkids that it would be more important for them to play in your memory bag and realize how cool grand dad is than to have me using it as a shooting coat.
Actually started looking for a WWII summer service cotton khaki shirt
Tropical style, looking to channel Gunny Elmo Haney when I head to the beach or work in the yard...
Kind of like old school US Navy blue cotton chambray shirts.
Those Summer khakis look like they were a sensible duty uniform - sharp when pressed yet easy enough to maintain if worked in.
Medium short (left) and large regular (right) pants. Square pockets, last runs.
Either to you PMc... or Rock.
PM mailing address.
I still have some of those. Medium regular. Just like everyone else...
I dream of fitting into them again some day....

Thank you for your service. Men like you paved the way for young boys to grow up free and become men like me. Thank you for standing the guard until I was able to.
May you sleep well every night knowing I will never give up the freedoms you fought for. That’s my promise to you and all the Marines that came before my time.
Semper Fi, Never Die.
I will never fit in any of my old stuff. lost that dream long ago.
That's what we wore when I first got to the Ranger BN in late '81. They came in a mix of slanted and straight pockets. Those got taken away from us late summer of '82, and I wore standard OD Green Jungle fatigues for the rest of my stay there.
