On the news I see the American flag on the right shoulder of the Army, but it

?? Marine boot camp question ?? by
vincent p. norris
My son-in-law, who was in the Navy about 30 years ago, mentioned at
dinner today that the guy who graduated #1in his platoon at Marine
boot camp was given a set of blues, free.
I think that's an urban legend. It certainly wasn't the case when I
went through Parris Island in 1946.
Was it done at...

-How many pilots did they deploy with? They had a det in Cubi and 10 jets...
-Seems like a pretty unhappy group. Dept heads that were either labeled as
effeminate or cowards, JOs that got short and yelled at the CO, a JO that
turned his wings in cuz he didn't...

A BRAC list, NOT! by
John Carrier
Plain and simple bull****. The BRAC "list" currently circulating (often
from folks who should know better) is a regurgitation of the list created by
Carlton Meyer, a former Marine captain and defense policy hobbyist. His
vanity web site is here http://www.g2mil.com/. If you'd like to compare...

appreciate them.
Departing from the aviation scene for just a moment, I would like to
again share
with you a reflection about D Day that I posted last year about...

A Great New Web Site for Soldiers! by
[email protected]
Desert Voices - a site for the troops
Returning home from a war can often be just as difficult as being in the
war. Soldiers have so much more to say than they care to share with
family or friends. I speak from experience, being a veteran of the first
Gulf War.
Soldiers need an outlet, a means of...

A Meaningful Thanksgiving Day to all... by
Otis Willie
A Meaningful Thanksgiving Day to all...
Again this Thanksgiving Day, 2005, our Nation remains at war.
Before this war began we were promised it would be over cleanly,
costlessly and quickly. Unfortunately, the war continues, and with
great cost. And, sadly, there appears to be no end in sight....

Amir - Iranian F-4 pilot
A New Threat to The USA, Iranian F-14 Tomcats? Answer it ...
Since the US Navy has phased out its fleet of F-14's and AIM-54's and
while, neither the USAF has no aircraft for air engagement for
distances more than 30 miles nor the US Navy, Iran - at the present
time - has more numbers of powerful...
