And THAT is EXACTLY why so many good Marines GET THE FUCK OUT! Because of assholes like that Major and it NEVER changes! I've got 100 similar stories. When TF is the Marine Corps going to WAKE UP???!!!
1968 I was in my second year of a church mission in the Southwest British Mission. I often wondered what would have happened if I had said no to the mission. I ended up a Marine in '71 and retired 20 years later. Never saw a shot fired in anger.
I serve on the Honor Guard about twice per week here in little burg of Seward, NE. I findit most fulfilling. Your descripton of the family and friends still holds true. I want a military funeral, but wonder who will perform as the VFW and Legion of which I am a member of both have declining membership and most veterans my age are unable to perform. We will see. Take care my friend.
Title is "Dead Center" for this one, Ed !

To "mollycoddle" is not the Marine Corps way...never has been.

You knocked BC doors while we were knocking VC heads.
Thank you for your service on the Honor Guard - and, thank the Major for insuring that all debts are fully paid. Jim J.
Thanks, Jim. I didn’t appreciate the Major’s actions then, but do now. : )

Thanks, Lloyd. The American Legion and VFW are dying daily. Not sure what the future of all that holds.
