    TDH Marines (Nov. 10th / 11th)

    Just wanted to start a thread for the TDH Marines to post in. As TDH is a family obviously the Marines are also. Being a combat veteran of Iraq (current war) I wanted to extend a early HAPPY BIRTHDAY and VETERANS DAY to the Jarheads here!

    Semper FI,

    Re: TDH Marines (Nov. 10th / 11th)

    I only have one real birthday and thats Nov 10th. Although ive been out of the Marines since Aug 2000 and have been in the Army since Nov 2000 (Yeah I know but the Army got me out of being a grunt with a high tech MOS that the Corps did not offer, plus promotion is faster) I still defend my Corps.

    If you think being in the Marines is hard try being a Marine in the Army. Twice as much flack from both sides. But ive trained my Soldiers to Corps standards, or at least try. Now im the new First Sgt. "E-8" at my unit and im only a SSGT. "E-6".

    I served with the Marines in Iraq when I was in the Army and proudly wear my (authorized) 1st Mar Div Combat patch.


    SSGT. (Top) Pogo
    0352, 11B, 11H, 14J, 21M

    Happy Birthday Jarheads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not a Marine, nor US Army, but British Army. I have had the distinct pleasure of serving alongside some of you guys, and I'd like to wish the Marines a very happy Corps Birthday.

    Be safe guys.

    Hey Chris,

    Where you ever asked this question regarding your 8541 MOS? "Your target is ...., what do you feel after you pull the trigger?" Answer: "The recoil"

    Sorry Chris, curiosity just got the best of me! Looking at your military dates, I was at Chicago MEPS in May '89 and was in Great Mistakes (Great Lakes) boot camp in July '89 and separated from active duty in Oct. '98 then joined the Naval Air Reserve (NAR). Good times...good times!

    Air Foooooorce!!!! I did 8 years active as a C-5 Loadmaster and spent the last 12 playing in the JAG! I did do a 2 year stint in the Army Guard as a Second Lt. Then I woke up and realized that they wanted me back in Iraq after I just got married and had a kid. 8 combat tours is enough for this old man. I am just a crusty ol MSgt.

    Panama 89
    Gulf War part I 91
    Somalia 92
    Haiti 93
    Rwanda 94
    Croatia 95
    Bosnia 96
    Kosovo 99

    My great-grandfather served in the Marines... was at Belleau Wood - which you Marines (and hopefully some others here) have heard of! And if you have a copy of the Leatherneck magazine this month... his picture is in it too! (Bottom of pg. 62, 9th from the left, bottom row) In the "Until Now" article by Mark E. Ryan about GySgt Fred W. Stockham who won the Congressional Medal of Honor.

    So ... Thanks to all the veterans who have served this country over the years. And Thank You to all the service men and women who are currently serving here and abroad - especially in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thoughts and prayers with you all, today, tomorrow and always.

    I remember being at Edson Range and it being on fire. I can't remember if it was our company that started it or if it was the group 1 week ahead of us. Everything was burnt and black when I was in the field several weeks later.

    Get on google maps and youll find it. I was right next to the chow hall off to the right if you were facing the chow hall. There was a sand pit there but looks like they added a few things where the pit was.

    I was on the second deck, i would try to sleep in my top bunk watching the air craft take off from the air port. Now that sucked.
