Stay low....... and best of luck to you and the rest. Us old guys are with you all the way!

Too bad they won't open-up to us old guys that still have the fight left in us and that can still pass the PFT at "53."

Rockerga, I know what you mean!
I have a young brother-in-law in our beloved Corps( he's an 0351, at Camp Lejeune) that will be deploying later this year.
Be safe!
Look, Think, then... Move from cover to cover. Repeat as needed.
Thank you for your service in the Corps!

Yeah, I'm in Kuwait right now. It pretty much sucks, Camp Beuhring is pretty much a carbon copy of the rotational unit area at Fort Irwin. We cruised here through the south pacific and hit Guam, Saipan, and the Moldives. We were all hoping that our MEU would eventually end us up in Afghanistan or Iraq, but it really doesn't look like it. Our workup was completely worthless too. It sounds like by the time you get to Afghanistan, we'll be done with Kuwait, and heading back home through the south pacific drinking cocktails with little umbrellas.

Just remember brother, you can't spell 'disgruntled' without 'grunt'.

Oh, and stay safe.
