I still can’t upload a jpg. 

Like the list of KIAs. Not sure what I am doing wrong. If this text message works then it will be just a problem with the photos.  But in any event we will fix things.  Just hang on.

BTW What is Askimet? They say there is a problem with the network or server. I am not sure about that program so I iwll wait to see what Bryan does.

Born to be a Marine

by | Aug 10, 2009 | Uncategorized

Well I can’t speak for everyone, although I’d have to say it would be a destiny thing for all of us.

But for me, I never even thought of walking into the recruiting office of any other branch of service. And considering I was in my moms belly during Frank’s funeral in 68 and my birthday is Feb. 19th – the day one of the Marine Corps most infamous battles started, ( Iwo Jima ) I’d have to say I was born to be a Marine. It takes a certian type of person to walk into a Marine recruiting office and sign themselves up. Especially without exploring any of the other branches.

Then Eric, we talk of classes in society like the middle class right? How about the old warrior class? The warrior class still exists if you ask me and that is where we all kind of fall into don’t you think?

Something to ponder I guess.

Are Marines Made or Born?

by | Aug 9, 2009 | Uncategorized

I am wondering if Marines are made in Bootcamp or if they are destined to be Marines? Figure the DNA or something like  some religious miracle thing where God created us etc?

I heard the idea about us being BORN  from Pedro recently, but then, I had already thought about the possibility before.  Especially when I think of how I was when I was a kid.  Hmm?

Anyway, I will have to post copies of three email messages I got recently just to give you a little insight on how I got to this line of thinking
