[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3666829, member: 1132"] And what were the ROE? Weapons Free? Something tells me they weren't. I can't remember a time where we didn't go into a potential engagement without one hand tied behind our backs. As a Reagan Marine, even then the top brass seemed more concerned about what we'd do (with anything other than tight control), than they were the OPFOR winning the engagement. :( It's funny, I remember more fights with the Army than Navy or AF. That may have been a result of our close training coordination with the Army in my MOS (Stinger surface to air missiles). Our worst fight was at Ft. McCoy. :) As for the Navy, I always appreciated that they gave us rides to wherever we needed to go. I do wish they'd have been a little less tight with the purse strings though. [/QUOTE]
