...it could be worse...
A new Bill would lower the drinking age on base for all active duty personal to 18. I don’t know about the easy going Air Force, but the Marines would have a friggin’ orgasm if the age was dropped on base. I can see it now…bases filled with drunkenness. Stay tuned for a future post [...]
It’s so damn hot… milk was a bad choice.
-Ron Burgundy, the Anchorman; Will Ferrell
Although chocolate milk was the diary product I choose to consume as apposed to milk, it was still damn hot outside. Okinawa’s temperatures don’t really drop until sometime near the end of October and even then, a simple walk to the chow [...]
This weekend was pretty wild. I ended coming home looking like a lobster with all the sunburn I manage to sum up from the beaches we were at. Not to mention the kill work out my quads got and how my feet got torn up. I pretty much had a hell of a weekend considering [...]
The Marine Corps is going to begin to recall inactive troops INVOLUNTARY!! Holy crap! They say only 2,500 Marines can be recalled but in time of war that might change. This is going to keep up until they get enough people for the Global War On Terrorism. It also won’t end until the War is [...]

Well, we got our off-base liberty again. If you don’t know, here on Okinawa, Marines abide by the Gold/Red card rule set by the General of the Marines in this part of the world. If you have a red card you have to be back on base by midnight, while the Gold can go on [...]
Conveys, conveys conveys! Man, thats all I have been doing for the past two weeks. You know this means that I have been ‘in the field’ for three straight weeks. Nothing but training and classes and more training in the HOT, HOT Okinawan sun; and trust me, this island has its unforgiving climate with humidity [...]

You’ve all been saying to yourself, “Where the heck is this guy?” We’ll you’ll be happy yo know the photograph above should explain alot. I was training again and like many other times, we Marines don’t get computer access out in the middle of no where. Alot of planning went to shit but [...]
Let us take a trip back to Yuma, Arizona between the time periods of late September 2003 and early August 2004. Brand new to the Marine Corps’ fleet and now serving as a true Marine, you become quite open to ideas and theories placed at the dinner table, and trust me, there is plenty to [...]
