I'm another "yank" here to say hello. I am former US Marine and I am currently a police officer. I live in Dublin, California which is in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm just saying hello to all.

The weather here is "ok," for now. Its been raining non stop for about 4 weeks. Now, the sun is out, however its supposed to start raining again tomorrow and through the week. Which really sucks, because I'm going to be in a week long rifle course; I hate training in the rain
Oh well...

Training without rain is not real training Phil, welcome mate (Tip: When the ground starts moving... run... I saw the film
)

Welcome aboard Phil, Sol or Corona?
We are a wet ship, bud.
Do us a brief biog of which Units and what jobs you did Phil, for the sake of our non Marine members like Greenronnie.
He`s like the bastard offspring of the Village People and the 82nd Airborne, but don`t say I said
Have you read Nate Fink`s book mate? Good read for sure, but what I couldn`t get my head around was why he ate the apple?(and left the Corps, geddit
) I am not convinced by his reasons for leaving. Seems to me that he should have stayed in and put some back.
I digress
Wellcome aboard Phil, here`s to you and old Chesty
Sempers and Per Mare
Oooorrrraaaaggghhhhhh

See over here, it's just called 'training'.
I've heard stories of something called 'training in the sun', but generally assume they are fantasies. Welcome aboard mate!

I was with the 2/6, which for you guys is the Second Battalion, Sixth Marines. Part of the 2nd Marine Division, 24th Marine Amphibious Unit. They are now called Marine Expeditionary Brigrades (Special Operations Capable). This was from 1981-1985.
I spent my time in Camp Lejeune, Beruit, Korea, and Camp Pendleton. Nothing overly awesome about my time in; just a simple ole grunt. Basic Infrantry and Machine Gunner.
Now, I'm just an old police officer in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Did you live in Boston?
Are you a convicted Murderer?
No......?
I must be thinking of another Brit Nanny.
