Just saying...

[Brian D]

Thanks, Will. But for all of you, the pleasure has been totally mine.

I love it that we have posters who would check out and know the medals on a uniform.

It is called being a USNavy veteran.

"GI gravy, Navy beans, US Navy loves Marines" Sound off... 1, 2 3 FOUR!

PS: You should have a Marine Drill Instructor. You learn quickly.

I did a web search on the Seoul Embassy training tapes...
Look what popped up.

[Brian D]

Did someone say... Drill Instructor?

 

[JamesG161]

We all learned quickly in Officer Training, don't let the DI learn your name.
I still remember his name... Sergeant Downey. 2 Oak leaf clusters on his Purple Heart.

When we went to mess, in Sandy NAS Pensacola, he walked on a brick retaining wall to avoid dust on his 5 finger polished shoes.

We learned that quickly, too.

Last comment on the DI above...

Do you all understand what it takes to get to his rank in such a short time and...

Embassy Guard Duty

We had a term for Brian, in the Navy...

One "Highly Wired Marine"

Jim...

PS: Embassy Marines stand alone to protect US personnel and property.

And they do it exceptionally well. At least the ones I have met.

If you have never known such a Marine, the best you can do is watch the movie 13 Hours. You’ll get just a glimpse of what stirs in the hearts of such brave and loyal men.

Just look at the individuals who attended Brian’s wedding. Men of his caliber are special.

Pretty special B billet. Recruiters are dime a dozen, in comparison.
