SEMPER FI BROTHERS AND DON'T FORGET TO RAGE!

 

Ever go scuba while you were there? I did a bit of snorkeling but never got the chance for scuba. Oki was a great place though.

 

I know yout question isn't aimed at me, but some buddies and I went snorkeling a few times off the Schwab beach. We swam out to the islands out there, that's was a fucking blast.

I really regret not getting a scuba diving license while stationed at Oki though.

there's some beautiful spots on Oki for sure though.

 

By the way, here is a picture of me with my squad hunting aliens. It really is me, since I posted it on the interwebs. I am the guy toting the mini.

Jessy is that you. Viet Nam like it was yesterday, We set up this pic.. the place was way pussy. It was a police action, you know checking for bald tires and cracked glass Jim

 

Rahh Rahh Uttt Uttt

 

Wait that's me in there too Ooooorah. Probably the guy in the back with glasses

 

Oh yeah.....it was really somethin out there. I got back about a year ago to the states. They're closing Schwab beach though.

 

Right before I left (beginning of '08) I heard there was somebody that died out there, got caught in a current and bashed against some of the little cliffs out there, you hear about that?

 

Oh yea, I'm the one with the sleeveless!

 

Semper Fi TW brothers 2002 to present here Fightin 6th Marines here about a month until out next deployment as RCT-6 so anyone headed out that way we will be there to support. to all those that are there now stay safe. see you soon.

 

Served as a Corpsman caring for Vietnam wounded Marines 68-70 in med-evac units and hospitals. Never was a "Bush Corpsman"- had a great deal of respect for them.

Got out, went back in, got a Commission as a USN Intelligence Officer- recalled to Active Duty for the 1st Gulf War in 91 and 92- all over Southern Europe and the Middle East- retired as a Lieutenant Commander (O-4) in 98.

Of all the titles I've ever carried, however, the one that has always meant the most to me was "Doc"

Semper Fi to all the Marines
