I believe in the military and when i go throught the drive through and see a potential candidate, i recommend joining the Chair Force. I give them advice and tell them about the oportuntities they can take advantage of in detail. Things i didnt know about until i got out. like choosing your mos based on your asvab. I learned that my GT score related to each MOS and 113 was the highest that was needed for any MOS and mine was 123 or something. If i would have know that i would have joined the Chair force and not have the injuries i have today. Though all the mountain climbing, fast roping, casting and all the cool stuff was a lot of fun. I didn enjoy the Marines, but couldah wouldah shouldah i guess. im not gonna what if it to death, but if i could go back in time I would have been a seal or PJ. I did have some good time though. I was in 1st Recon from 95 to 06. I didnt like the transition to BN from company.

I dont remember to many just the main guys. Col Fernando, MSgt Sixta, Gunny Horse head Smith and maybe a few more. Great men and great leaders. They really knew their jobs and set the example. I still live by many of the principles of the Marines like JJDIDTITE Belt buckle and things like that. Its all in my mind still. SMEAC, I instinctully use in dail life. Take care.

It's interesting how a knowledge of history often leads to the same places or at least similar ones. In similiar conversations of the topic of drones I recalled the history of the British Army's Machine Guns Corps - which made a great contribution during the First World War - and then disappeared from the rolls.
