Speaking of present. Last week my Grandson Logan came for a visit after just getting through boot camp.  A true story of courage, determination and patriotism!  At 19 he is a better man than me.

Handsome young man.  Maybe it's the uniform. LL~ LL~ Tell him the old DOC  thanks for his sacrifice.  He is a member of one of the greats military units of this great land.  The rest of them aren't too shabby either. H^^

Well, my own "boot camp" in the USAF was nothing like the marines have to go through!  I thought mine was tough at the time, but now I know better.

Also, the marines were the first ashore in WW II and had the hardest fighting.  Not a place I would want to be, but they DID IT!

So, I'm a VETERAN, but nothing like a REAL VETERAN, who went through hell many times over!

JUNK ON A BUNK   SLOP SHOOT  GEYDUNK  POGIE BAIT  all USMC terms. Learned them while stationed at Cherry Point MCAS Havelock NC. Flew Ucontrol there with my fellow Marines but I was USAF. AF had a radar base there. Right next to the control tower. I was a plank owner there at the radar site. Plank Owner is a Navy term for first on board a new ship. I met and liked Mathew McKeean there. Do you know who he was? Also saw the last active F4u Corsair there. The Marines had some great planes there. F4D Skyray, A4d Skyhawk, A3d Skyraider, They also had other planes there. Boxcars, Banshee's, Cougars, SkyKnights and a few more. I had to climb our radar towers to do testing as part of my job (Radar Maint.)  The towers where high and they only had ladders but I was young. It was always fun to watch the flight oprations from the towers. OK To all you real Marines  Semper Fi
