Spent 21 years in the Navy and never met a "Turtleback".

But on the wall next to my Bluenose certificate are a Shellback certificate and
a Golden Shellback certificate.

So where did all the matter in the universe orginially come from? If it had no
beginning, the it just "was". If it did indeed have a beginning, the what was
before that?

Since there was no universe, there was no time. If there was no time, there
obviously was no "before".

Shellback.... Turtleback..... same difference, but my bad. Still, you
know what I meant. I didn't get that far South.

The only thing that I can think of which is more impossible to believe than "mud

The rank of PFC and the less-than-four year tour lends one to
believe that the reason he didn't publish the other 3/4ths of his -214
was that somewhere on that form it said "LESS THAN HONORABLE", or one
of those categories of discharge.

And your DD-214?


That is something you will never see.

Just in case I do, I want to be prepared. Wonder what the code is for
a section 8 discharge?


Everyone I knew that got a medical discharge was RE-4.

Frankly, if I thought anything, I would suspect that it would be the
"supreme aliens" who were able to call the shots--I don't think our gov't
or the world gov'ts for that matter would be doing much of anything--at
least not anything the aliens were not telling them to do...

Who knows, keep an open mind, maybe they are just raising us like a head
of cattle--and butchering time is near!!! terrified-look!


I think "The Outer Limits" already did that story.


... do I think that is really happening? Heck, I don't know if there is a
supreme being, I don't know if we came from a mud puddle, how should I
know, if you ask me--all the choices just sound crazy, ask the aliens!
chuckle


Well, I don't care if there are aliens tourists on this planet or not,
just as long as they don't take our jobs, rape our women, or try to
masquerade as retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeants.

At least on the six occassions I got to stand in front of a Marine
officer in regards to my rank, it was prefaced with the words "To All
Who Shall See These, Greetings..."


Your communication deficit is acting up again, Dudly; If you are
referring to form DD-216MC, it begins with, "To all who shall see
these presents, greeting:"

Just for kicks I googled your misquotation; very interesting.....


Guess Frankie of Silliland wasn't listening when the repeated the
words about "Special Trust and Confidence"...Because that's exactly
what being a Marine is all about.

And Frankie couldn't hack it...


Just like everything else you know about the Marine Corps, you
couldn't even get a promotion certificate right..... and you claim to
have six of them? I don't think so, Dudly.

And BTW, notice the title of box 11: ".... years and months in
specialty...." IOW, that time doesn't include boot camp or the three
months I had to wait at 29 Palms for an opening in the BE course
(during which I worked as an assistant for the supply officer working
on the TICKET computer system -- an educational mainframe system that
was under development).


Come to think of it, if you had several different specialties (as you
claim) then you would have have a LIST in box 11 of -your- DD-214; and
you would have also known that those times listed were for time served
in the MOS indicated.

You bungled again, Dudly.

Hey, that's a neat idea! I gotta do that, keep it right next to my

What kind of guy carries a copy of his DD-214 around with him?

The same kind of guy that I try to avoid being...the loud mouth at
the end of the bar telling everyone how he stormed the beaches...Laguna
Beach...Redondo Beach...Panama Beach...


Try Myrtle Beach and Huntington Beach -- the latter should be required
duty for every single Marine!


Didya catch the part where he says he was ONLY a "####bird
PFC"...?!??!

Sheesh...even Lennie made E5...

I made Lance Corporal before I could get the "cash sales" smell
out of my uniforms...


If that's true then you must have skated right through boot camp.....
especially the gas chamber.


Corporal on the second round of cutting scores
(and that was in the rank-tight Avionics MOS of 6616)


Very impressive, especially when enlisted in the only branch of the
military that doesn't use cutting scores for promotions.


...Sergeant in
less three years of my arrival in boot camp...


Which means you were promoted only twice in the 15 years that
followed. A record to be proud of, I'm sure.


Some resource on USMC policy Frank of Silliland turned out to be!


Your ignorance about the Marine Corps is exceeded only by your
third-grade rhetoric -- hopefully that Pee-Wee Herman seminar you
attended didn't include tips on public masterbation.
