Thanks guys for your service to our country! I just saw my stepson off - back to Norfolk, VA. He was back here in California for some training (Coronado). All he does is train, I think it keeps him out of trouble. His next two schools are jump school, and freefall school. He's a SWCC (Special Warfare Combatant Crewman) on Special Boat Team 20. We are proud.

It is very funny when I went to boot camp. I was 17 years old and the day was Saint Patrick's day in 1979. I was in Great Lake ILL. I was very scared I was a long hair surfer/skate boarder from CA. MY first thought was I was getting away from my dad. My Mom sent me to live with him and his new wife all of 7 years older then I. I lived in Randolph NJ at the time. As Jr in HS we went on a field trip to NY as a class to check out different colleges and career day plan our life out. Well that was boring so I walk around the city and found a pub.Guess what I found a few sailor's on leave. My friend and I talk and drank and played darts. Yes drank NY at the time drinking age was 19. We back to bus and then too school, we went a little buzzed and then I new!!! I wanted to get tattoo and see the world. I really did not know what I was getting into. I told my mom in CA and then my dad. He said no mom said yes. So off I went. So off I went to boot camp.. I got there at midnight and had to wake up at three am. Heck it took us 2 hrs just to get to bed, I think when they hit the garbage can over my rack that made me def for the rest of the week. My hair was gone my cloth's had been put into a box and now yes. I had to wear bell bottoms not to bad bell bottom's had been in style out on the west coast. I found out a tooth brush is not for just your teeth. It clean many items which if I listed you might just get sick. PS at graduation I had a seagull drop a very pretty surprise on me in my dress blues..... A school was training we needed to go before we had been sent off to our duty station. That was in Tennessee. I fell in love with a southern bell her daddy pointed a shotgun and said you get married to my girl or I will kill you... TRUE STORY.. I went back to base and did not leave to I was shipped out... Shootgun weddings back then had been a true and scary issue to Navy boy in Millington Tenn. I was on leave then and I got phone call and orders to report too Washington ASAP. My first duty was on the carrier off to Iran. Iran took hostages. When we got there we had loaded every A-6 fully loaded with bombs missiles. Max loaded and then we had Nuc' on stand by. I was a scared kid.. After that,everything in my life became very small. It is a scary thing when you are ready to kill hundreds if not thousand of kid's mothers Father's and other alive things. I did not sign up for another tour I felt that I was never again willing to kill humans. I do understand er need to stand up for what is right!! Today I ended up being a Nuclear weapon team leader. What a scary thought. To this day I feel very strong if we attacked then and killed Khomeini and ended it correctly we would not have the issues we have today.. I hope you all enjoyed my story as I wrote it. It has been a long time since I told it. I do not ever want us and a main power to ever use any Nuclear weapon ever!!! I am Anti Nuc now and still have bad dreams about that day. Goodnite or goodmorning have a good day Michael

What a small world! I was also with Mike Company, 3rn Bn. 4th Marines from Oct 16, 1967 to June 1, 1968. We spent the majority of our time in "Leatherneck Square" ...the southern part of the DMZ in I Corps and out West of Khe Sanh when the NVA came back to the area in April-May of 1968. Members of my Platoon were awarded the Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, 3 Silver Stars and 4 Bronze Stars for heroism during that period of time. Truly the finest group of people I have ever had the honor of associating with. My heart still aches for those we lost or who were so badly wounded. By extension, I am very concerned with our activities and exposure in combat today. The Army and particularly the Marine Corps do a superb job to get our people ready for each tour, but I have wondered since the begining about the legitimacy of our role over there. To those who have gone before, those I had the honor of fighting with and those in harms way today I give my deepest respect. Don Rait former Captain of Marines

Don, Welcome to 3T and thank you for your service...That said, I do not question the legitimacy of the mission, just the legitimacy of politicians and Press who demand a politically correct war so that we cannot do the job prooperly, accomplish the mission and withdraw victorious with minimal loss of American troops. Ken Costich former Army Captain (Armor/Infantry/Recon)
