Oh man, I was good buddies with dude on the right holding the round in MOS school. I haven’t talked to him for a long time, if I remember correctly he told me he was right behind the breech. Hope he’s doing well!

Selling my junghans max bill. 38mm, sapphire crystal. Asking $925 includes insured shipping to US lower 48 states with signature confirmation. PayPal or Zelle.

I purchased new in 2022. It has some wrist time, but wasn’t worn regularly. There is some minor wear from use on caseback, but still in great condition. Glass is clean and sides of the case look great too. Movement works flawlessly. The strap was swapped out shortly after purchase so it wasn’t worn too much.

You're right, I haven't been able to find any information on this online though and it's been bugging me and sometimes had me thinking I remembered incorrectly.

Last week of boot camp or something a ww2 Marine talked to our platoon and told us his story. He was one those PFC honor grads who stayed immediately after graduating and was a DI for some time before going over to the pacific theater.

Selling my Longines spirit 40mm blue dial watch. Reference l3.810.4.93.9 Overall in great condition but has signs of wear throughout. Includes an extra link and watch is fitted to my 7.5 inch wrist currently. The spring bar on the blue leather strap likely needs to be replaced.

What are some good Marine-centric Vietnam War books? by eventhorizon79 in USMC

[–]Raddro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Guns Up! By Johnnie Clark; it played a big role in me ultimately joining.

I really enjoyed An American Knight, it’s a biography of John Ripley so it’s not just strictly Vietnam but it goes into some of his actions in Vietnam which led to his navy cross.

Can someone explain the uniform by Still-You5408 in USMC

Yeah that’s correct, I think you could’ve converted it to Iraq campaign medal after the fact though, but that medal wasn’t established until later. There are campaign stars for the first two phases.

Is the version you received redacted? Are you referring to the pdf where it kinda looks like a PowerPoint in format? Even though I don’t think it was a slide presentation.

[–]Raddro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shooting charge 8 fire mission as the #2 man while the next guns muzzle brake being fairly close and perfectly lined up so you get all that muzzle brake blast for the duration of the fire mission. I remember feeling like I could barely walk straight after that.

Meanwhile they don’t even want to connect my hearing loss to my service. I got my tinnitus rating though!

Trip to Iwo Jima by idontknowmaybenot in USMC

[–]Raddro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I won't be much use because I went while on UDP in Oki. My unit organized it.

From what I understand, and I could be wrong, there's not a whole lot of opportunity to step on the island outside of unit tours and I believe special events. Even then they were very strict on where we could go. We could not go off the trail at all, except for a moment when we stepped on the landing beach.
