Veterans On the Board

I was in the Marine Corps from 1986-1994.
2 Tours in Okinawa
3 Team Spirits and 2 Bear Hunts
Shellback and Bluenose
Several 6 month deployments
Have spent time on the:
USS Nassau
USS Tarawa
USS Tripoli
USS Blue Ridge
USS Wasp
Operation Desert Shield/Desert storm.
Received my combat action during the year I was in Somalia.
I have been to JEST in the PI (Jungle Environmental Survival Training)
Mountain Warfare School in Korea (Huge slide for life!!)
SERE School (Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape)
Cold weather training in Wisconson before we went to live in tents in Norway for a month..

If I have a sturdy knife and some wire, I'm good to go.:thumbup:

We were on the Tripoli when it hit a mine and our unit got a Presidential Unit Citation for crossdecking to the Tarawa in record time.

For the others that have served, I thank you very much. Semper Fi.
