McNameta’s Morons was the official term. All I know was that in early 1969, the Marines were issued junk M-16s. Jams galore, even after cleaning, with THE squad cleaning rod. As a FO, I carried a Stevens shotgun, not the best, either…but it functioned. ASAP, I traded a Polaroid camera to an...

I remember in the mid-50s having a replica 1917 machine gun. You turned a crank and it spanked wooden rounds 10 meters out. Musta had more, but other than a Stallion 45 cap gun it is are hidden in a mist!!!

The Corps had us Officers spend a month on the small arms ranges in 68. Divided between pistol and rifle (M14 & 1911). When I was the Range Officer at USMCAS Yuma in 1970-71, I ran a week refresher course on the M-16, 1811 and shotgun. All the ammo I could shoot after qualms. I MISS that job!

I have a LOT of Lee dies, accumulated since the late 70s. Presses, not many. Had one of the cheapo Lee presses, but it broke at the linkage and gave me a nifty scar. Aldo had one of their turret and one of their shotgun presses. NEVER liked either one and bout gave them away. Do have one of...

Sure looks like a M101A1, like I used in the Nam.

Moved to S. Utah in 2001 from SoCal. Utah is a conservative state but the SLC area is liberal. Long as you make your move north or south of it, all is good. Moved south to the red rock area. Life is good. Not LDS, but neighbors are, but no conflicts. State liquor stores in every community...

With the potential for taking an island in the Straits, we will see if the new Corps mission is a viable one. Remember, he took all armor and most of the arty away because we would hunker down on islands in the Pacific, armed with missiles. I certainly don’t want any of my brother Marines...

Saw that in Okinawa in the 60s and at Pendleton in the 70s. You are right…probably same demographics.

This is my little buddy. Now 12+ years of age and about 80% blind. Service dog and fearless. Probably last in the line of little (20#) dogs I have had. Never had a bad dog over 70+ years.

Beat you by 8 years…Class of 1971.

One of these Bodyguards is usually with me. The wheelgun is an Airweight I bought in1971 and the semiautomatic Bodyguard is a more recent addition. In more sketchy areas, the caliber does increase.

If only!

There is an age limit to apply for SS disability. Tried to get it but was told I was too old. Better luck to you, I am 100% VA., 70% damage and 30% IU.

Was reading that Patel is having UFC fighters train a class of FBI recruits. I bet those lawyers and attorneys are really going to need that in their desk jobs. Yes, I know there are field agents, but from what I know, they are outnumbered greatly by those manning computers

This “emergency “ really shows how much the Brits have fallen. If Russia were to threaten NATO, how well would they react. The British Army on the Rhine (BAOR) has long suffered.

Working Vice we had a 647 (A) problem in Rampart…lewdconduct. To catch those involved I wore thin shirts and a large cowboy belt buckle…you get the drift. Partner and I worked men’s restrooms in parks because of the confluence of children and weenie-wavers. Never worked Narco or Public...

After Biden drained the strategic reserve, and Chuckie didn’t allow Trump refill it during his first term, when prices were low, he now (Chuckie) wants Trump to open the floodgates and deplete the rest of the reserve…

Well then shoot .32APC in your .327.

AKA Rocket bra

An alky who has been heavily drinking for decades can function with an astonishing amount of alcohol aboard. Remember stopping one in the early 70s for a broken taillight. Had difficulty pa4king and failed the FST. The intoximeter showed a .43. You don’t forget stuff like that.
