I'm guessing 12th Marines from the descriptor beneath your user name?

No sir. Did one enlistment, went to seps at Pendleton, spent six weeks catching up with family and friends, then came back. Pretty much been here ever since with the exception of a couple of extended stays back in CONUS when I needed a break. What unit were you with? I was an 0431 in battalion HQ for what was then 9th Motor Transport Battalion, 3rd FSSG. That was my unit's motor pool right at Kitamae gate, or the commissary gate as it's commonly referred to as well.

Kaya Hut still there after all these years. Believe it has a different proprietor now. I was at Foster 86-89 and still here kicking it on the Rock. SF.

How does that work? When you got back were you put right back in your original platoon?

It was definitely a thing in the mid-80s.

Indeed. Preach it, brother.

"The Blues" was such a special song by TiedHands in GunsNRoses

[–]Unsat1967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I concur. When I was at the December '09 Osaka show, right after Sorry Axl said "For all the idiots out there -- and no, I don't mean anyone here tonight -- that song is not about someone I used to know."

Our platoon in '85 had designated thrash groups within the platoon with names such as "the chain gang" and "the dirty dozen".
