At least you got out. Some of the jarheads I've met would have starved to death in there because they wouldn't want to damage gov't property
Blue Rat told me that one. I need to let my cousin know. After graduating from the naval academy, he is enlisting into the Marines. AHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

I tried to get orders to ACU-5 while I was in.
You're right on with my duty station ...

By the way we only take sailors that can get stuck in a porti-potty.

I figured as much since you ride at Pendleton a bunch and ACU-5 is right across the freeway from Pendleton. I figured you were either either a corpsman or a landing craft type.

Obviously what you need to teach them is how to use a porta-potti and not get trapped!!

Its Hoo-Yah. Youre doing it wrong.

Hump past us? And they call us squids ghey.

The Navy already knows how to shoot like the Marines. It is called CIWS. Fire enough bullets and eventually you'll hit the target.

That vid is bad ass, I saw them fired on the USS. New Orleans or the Essex. My unit was the first Marines on the Essex when it was commissioned and the last on the New Orleans when it was de- commissioned. Cool memorys!

Technically, ACU-5 is a tenant command of Camp Pendleton.

I'm gonna guess from your screen name that you were a Boatwains Mate?

WHAT DID YOU SAY?????? No for real I was 1/5 Charlie co. Stationed at San Mateo, the worst chow hall on pendelton. We would go to Mainside sometimes for chow. The only thing that sucks, is you might as well keep youre hand in the salute position outdoors.

Us grunts loved making the adim pouges smell our stink after coming out of the field.

I'm an LCAC Craftmaster getting ready to retire after 26 years.

Where does the time go? I can still remember being brought to the recruiters office by a very nice police officer.
