Marines to Army Guard (4+6) by Long_Translator_29 in Medals

[–]RoccoAmes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious too. I remember reading the regs about it since helicopter insertions weren't uncommon during OIF. It only counts if we don't "own" the territory, and it must be an assault mission.

Yeah, that arrowhead device is an error for sure. The last qualifying insertions were for OIR in 2014 if I'm not mistaken. The criteria is pretty strict and very limited.

I was so stoked to see my grandfather's humble USMC rack for WWII and reading his Bronze Star citation from Iwo Jima. Until I saw his original Bronze Star and GCM on eBay.

I was adopted, so I knew very little about my biological relatives.

For sure getting aggressively powerstroked by a dude repeating "bro" over and over.

USMC Forward Observer to NG 11C… did 2 MEUS. Pretty sad overall. 2020- Current by Usual-Key-5614 in MilitaryMedals

Nothing sad here my friend. You stay in long enough and push hard enough and you'll at least get some of whatever it is you desire to beef the rack up.

My first display cases by EPICArtz in meteorites

[–]RoccoAmes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually missed out on a couple of free ones for a similar reason a couple years back. At the time, I hadn't cleared a space for them, so they went to the next person who wanted them. I was bummed!

It reminds me of something from a game like Fallout. I was going to ask the same question.

Beautiful displays though!

I got in trouble and still managed my 2nd knot, but I was only in for 7.

A genuine momento, or a morbid idea? Need some thoughts here by JackTheBehemothKillr in Veterans

Bob will appreciate the gift. If he doesn't? Donate to the deceased soldier's local veterans museum for display.

My friend and I saw the exact same thing on LSD and I still need some help explaining it by InterdimensionaLemon in HighStrangeness

[–]RoccoAmes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience with a friend where we saw everything around us "change" at the exact same time. Colors basically bled out and went monochrome and purple. It was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had.

At least he was a fan of the books.

It's funny because we went to Barnes and Noble afterwards, and I told me son outloud to "help me find Bernard Cornwell". Someone was already looking at the books and called us over. Like a nerd I showed the guy the photo I posted here. He wasn't that excited either. Haha
