Apple, others have suggested it and now I echo them. Freedom of speech, the ability to have different opinions, is very important to our way of life... But with all freedoms comes responsibility, in this case, you really should sit back, cool your heels and read several threads on these boards...

Warning NSFW: http://youtu.be/FMEe7JqBgvg There is a way to beat trolls. Watch the video to the end!

Show up for BMQ in my unit, and you will be off for a fresh hair cut pretty quick should you be sporting one of those. All is not lost though. Small sacrifice on the hair can pay dividends in the long run. 18 years now, and I am still having fun! Yes, it is also brutally hard work at times...

This is me, staying in my lane. Pissing on enemy combatants is NOT combat related. The combat is over as clearly indicated in this photo. Further, this photo was published publicly giving every Tom Dick and Harry the right to comment. These strategic Cpls have undone a lot of hard work put into...

The reality is, the civilians there want to see a winner. Want to see one now. Someone who can restore some semblance of peace and they will turn to whom ever they think can provide that. If we can show that we can provide what they need, the insurgency will dry up. The Taliban depend very much...

ROFL!

Afghanistan is an insurgency... Whether we want to term it as such or not is irrelevant. These Marines, should as remedial training, study Clausewitz and Killcullen (to name a couple) and gain an understanding of the necessity to win the psychological fight and win over the civilians in an...

A frank talk with the parentals would be a good start. Be honest and open with them. As to your name, fear not. The worst case scenario is someone refers to you as "alphabet". We have lots of folks with wonderful names ranging from two letters to even more then yours. We, after all, pride...

Oh dear, that article is very unflattering. For those reading this, do read the whole article, as the obvious flaws are pointed out in this system (like using the picture from a real incident, a real human being who was proven innocent by police scrutiny, and suggesting he was the model...

ROFL Well, I like the kind of model that holds not only the individual responsible, but also the chain of command.  Should our Pl Comd's, Coy OCs et al be held accountable for the physical fitness of their men, I would suspect there would be a very serious change in our fitness mentality. In...

Sarge, I'd rather be reading my book then...

Merry Christmas all! Those whom celebrate, love cherish and worship as you will. For the remainder of us others, it is still a season of love charity and peace. Regardless of upbringing, this is a special time of year, and a time for us to remember one simple axiom that our parents (should of)...

Haggis... Haggis... Haggis? If it is the same Haggis I know, our last deployment together, I remember him regaling me with stories about how he was paid in salt when he first joined the legions. Not saying the man is old, but to him a centurian is a rank, not a tank... ;D

Ahh, Jerry O'Kane on Fri nights! I have fond memories of my youth singing (very badly) with the rest of the out of tune there. I do not believe that Stages has changed it's name at all in it's some 20 year history. I remember a time where if you looked like a soldier, they would NOT let you in...

Is it possible that Mr Yon is now having a difficult time finding units willing to allow him to tag along? He has spent a fair bit of time over the last couple of years alienating pretty much everyone above the rank of Sgt., sounds like he needs to move on to his next bound.

ROFL!  Thanks gents! Now, perhaps they can eventually dye themselves a more regal colour in the future... At the moment though, brown would be a really good colour.

Well, I feel much the same as others here. The RCL has sold us out on the NVC (that abomination serves no other purpose then to save money for the government).  The Legion can and should fix it's self.  They have a new generation of vets now who need a strong advocate, ones with political clout...

I tried the DHH site from two different means last night for CFP 201. It would seem that the drill pam is a broken link on their site.  MTF, will check one last time for a working link now... Otherwise, one would have to go through their chain of command to get one (it is available on DWAN, but...

I can sum up that list. "We demand that we all get stoned, and be like Greece." Their list of demands are completely bereft of reality.

Is that the same one who retired, became a reporter and wrote a series of articles that lead potentially to the suicide of an American Admiral? Being a decorated soldier does not preclude the possibility of becoming a badgering reporter who supplants the story for humanity.
