Michigander - Your war was many years ago ... but nothing gets any more real to anyone that is at all familiar with the Vietnam war than the names .. Quang Tri .. Lang Vei .. Khe Sanh ......... You have walked through the valley my friend and walked out the other side ......

Made the cover of "Stars & Stripes" from the operation (I believe Operation Chinook, been way to many years in some respects but not in others)in Quang Tri. Still have the paper with my things from back then.

Was at Khe Sanh for some of the hill fights 881N, 881S, 861, etc. If you ever get the chance, read the book Khe Sanh Hill Fights, it is well done. I rotated out a few weeks before the siege began. We had been surrounded for quite some time but they didn't completely have their big guns in place at that time. Lang Vei was Army special forces, but we would visit from time to time for a day or two.

Still love to shoot, though. Love that M14, wish I had one.

To: Rabbit616, Looking at your picture, was I ever that young, or that high and tight? OOH RAH! Go for it, Bro.!

To: animallover/hunter, Only one word of warning. Don't screw up or they'll make you a Grunt, like me. On second thought, this one is far more important, NEVER wear new/un-broken-in boots on a force march. (...we're talking double/triple blister time.) That's all the wisdom this old bird can remember. You fellas run along and have fun. And GOD bless.

dont worry about the high and tight anymore, my head is shaved now. got tired of paying to get my hair cut every week.

To all of you who serve now- my hat is off. Having studied the history of the corps, I don't think that there has ever been a finer bunch. You guys are iron men, and make me humble (not an easy thing to do). Thanks for all you do.
By the way, when you finish up your time the whole world will seem like a piece of cake and you will wonder why people get stressed out over mindless BS. Truly, being a Marine rocks if for no other reason.

Hey Michagander,

I used to work with a guy who was at Khe Sahn in 68 during the Tet offensive. You may have known him. His name was Neal McGeary. He and I talked about Khe Sahn quite a bit.
Any way, he died of cancer a couple of years ago. I think 2 years ago to be exact. Just thought you would like to know. He was one of your brothers.

Hey Andy, you don't happen to know Hank Titus do you?

Yuma,Az has some seriously fine coyote shooting. I testified in the old Yuma Territorial Court HOuse years ago in a Probation Violation Hearing on a black kid who'd killed an Army SGT in an argument in front of a cafe there.

It order to lower the chances he'd get killed by the outraged local people, his lawyer asked for/got a re-locatio to his in laws place in old Florence, Arizona, where the State Penitentiary is now.

Carry a LOT OF WATER when you're out in that country!

Jarheads rock! I had two (2) of them in my platoon @ Ranger School, Ft. Benning, l968.

Maybe you can clarify something, as the USMC used to be a part of the Navy. A guy told me today that 'he was a UDT, which was the same thing as SEALS are now. He told me his son was a SEAL sniper, but he did not know what his MOS was.

Does this sound 'right'?

Good hunting!

The Marines are still part of the Navy, The better part. the Mens section

UDT IS not the same as a Seal
Under Water Demolition Team is just that == underwater
Seal == land & water

both are BAD A--

US Marines are amphibious monsters on Land, Sea, and Air.

Ooh-Rah!

The marines were and still are looking for a few good men they found them in Navy Corpsmen 22 years USN 13 of it spent with USMC Was the best 13 years of my life
