Attention Veterans!

[Agnapostate]

I joined the Marine Corps in May of last year and graduated from recruit training on April 6, 2012.



I've tried to change some of my ways since I was talking to some of you on here a couple of years ago, and want to say that I'm sorry for the verbally abusive way that I interacted with a lot of the members here.

Holy Crap! Thanks for your service and I mean that sincerely!

To say I found your previous postings/style somewhat annoying would be an understatement. Doing what you are doing has restored my hope in the youth of America. I do not excpect everyone to agree on everything all the time but there is a reasonable and logical way to discuss issues without arrogance, abuse, etc. March on, Marine! I got your back (as much as I can from this piece of the internet).

No need to apologize, at least from my perspective. I don't recall you being a troll, but rather giving as good as you got. Words get a little wiser as we get older, and I'm banking the Marine Corps will get ya there even faster!

Congratulations, Marine.

Congratulations Marine. I doubt you'll have much time for messages boards as your going to be going into some sort of advanced training. Got a specialty picked out?

Thanks, gentlemen; that means a lot to me, especially to hear from some veterans. My military occupational field is infantry (0300), and my specific MOS will be determined at the School of Infantry.

Congratulations young man!! I find this most fitting for you.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I've only been a member since Friday, and was directed here to check-in.

I think I am older than most all of you since I first joined the navy in May of 1964, at 17 years old.
I'll make it short. I retired from the Navy in August of 1995 as an E-7.
For those of you from the Army, Air Force, and Marines. I was a Navy Chief.
I had broken service, which explains why after so long. I was able to become a Chief since I had to start over...as Prior-Service, without going back to Boot camp.
I listed my many ships during my Introduction. But they were many, and Sea Duty was a priority for most of my 5 enlistments.
Thanks to all of you during this Memorial Day weekend...for helping to remember All Who Gave so that We might celebrate our Freedom to be here.

Thank you for your service. Thank you for being older than me by a decade! LOL!
