WTF is that all about? I guess I'm also worthless for choosing to be in the Navy, my bad.
I didn't say anything about being worthless. My post was in response to "put the Marines in tents, it is where they belong." Sailors...

I'm pretty sure I have more time deployed than you have in the Marines, and logged more combat hours than you have ink in your logbook (most of which has been over Iraq, thank you very much), so I might suggest that you dole out unsolicited career advice to someone a bit closer to your station and experience level, shipmate. Can I interest you in some lovely parting gifts?gunfighter77 said:

There you go again having a comment for everything. How would you know about how long I have been deployed? Anyhow It's not the total time (licking the canopy doesn't count), it is the quality of the time that counts( you wouldn't know anything about that.) I'm sure you have logged plenty of time in a tent, nope probably not. Keep your snide comments about Marines to yourself shippy. I don't remember issuing any career advice, I just noticed you have logged a lot of internet time.
My first clue was your decidedly "junior" temperament, but I decided to check your profile to confirm my suspicions. At any rate, my comment was not intended for your enjoyment, but for one of your fellow Marines who appreciated it in the humorous spirit in which it was intended. That's what happens when you don't pay attention and misunderstand the context - things you'll learn with experience. As for my snide comments (about Marines or otherwise), I'll dispense them as I see fit, but again, I appreciate your "suggestion."gunfighter77 said:

I can't believe the retardedness of this exchange. "Licking the windshield?" Do you find the maintainers don't really hang around you much? Damn you, you've sucked me into this logic bomb.
I'm heading to the hardware store for a new lock, but between the two of you, you can help me save the money.

Brett and I decided to make up. Here is a picture of my tent. I was ok living in it until it leaked during the rainy season. And then I saw that some of the prisoners were living in the same tents at Abu Ghraib when I flew in there the other day. Sorry, this is why I took it personal. I know some people have it worse, but this is pretty bad. I should be happy I only have to live with five other people this time around. At least we are semi protected from the IDF's. Now get back to the original subject.

Ironic--I've got a buddy living in Iwakuni right now. He mentioned awhile ago that it seemed like the vast majority of folks there are pretty opposed to the relocation. He mentioned some general dislike of some of the things some junior Marines have been doing around town (don't remember exactly what offhand).
I know I'm showing my ignorance, but does it even matter that the city voted against the move?

Nope, not one whit. It's just like some of these liberal hippy towns in the US that passed city council resolutions condemning the war, or declaring themselves "nuclear free zones." Completely symbolic and otherwise meaningless. I guess I can understand why the average Joe citizen there wouldn't want to sign up for several thousand more Sailors and Marines crawling all over the place, but the scene out in town when I was there was pretty mellow and there weren't too many problems. I'm sure the business community down there would love it though.othromas said:
