Attention All Marines

what would you know,,,boot

You talkin' to me? Huh? You talkin' to me? What would I know? You askin' me what I know? I'll tell you what I know, Methuselah, I knew where to go there to do something more fun than watch Habu-Ferret fights.

Speaking of Habu's, I killed one of the things one time with a whole can of Raid Bug Killer (and a few smacks with a broom handle) at Camp Schwab. He was curled up on the doorstep outside my BOQ room. Big damn 'ol snake he was too.

yeah, cherry boy, i'm talkin to you. i made a few courier runs to Okinawa, usually 5 days before i could return south. always took 500 bucks, typical evening started at the club for happy hour, mixed drinks 2 for a dime. got medium blasted then hit the ville, partook of the other pleasures available while drinking with the jo-sans. after an evening filled with such entertainment, it was off to sukahachie alley, the after hours bars LOL, drink and more jo-sans, and the death matches. then back to Butler to rest up for the next evening foray. get back from the courier run and i was broke, was there once for about 10 days because a typhoon closed down Kadena, had to get paid on my orders to continue my life of debauchery

Yeah, seems that all of them from back in those days shrank up bad. Must have been made out of cheap cotton or something.

You Marines are in denial...

...as an Army vet, I'll confess to overusing Braum's ice cream and Lay's potato chips.

I have two field jackets from the early 70's and they still fit. Pics if needed. I just put them back in the attic yesterday after wearing at the Veterans day parade locally in November. We are cleaning closets currently.
Back in the day, Jim beam made many "short timer" decanter bottles sold only in class 6 stores. I had one of them, but like another posted, it was a victim of a pcs move. They must have thrown it off the ship onto the dock. (stick photo, not my own)

The buckle and spurs was made by our very own John Jennings

The lighter is also a music box

Got the coin from the Deputy Commandant at the Marine Corps luncheon 3yrs ago
