Good afternoon everyone! I served in the US Marine Corps from 2001 - 2008. I was stationed at Camp Pendleton as a Motor-T Platoon Commander and Company XO with Truck Company, HQBN, 1st MarDiv. I also served as the BN S-4 for HQBN, 1st MarDiv. Following my time with 1st MarDiv, I served as the OSO out of RS Springfield, 1st Marine Corps District. I have been on this site for a while and definitely enjoy it! Glad to be part of this group. Semper Fi!

Las Pulgas. That was the home of the jungle training course we took before going across the pond in 1968. Also home of the hill we affectionately called "The Dirty Name". When you went up that hill, your nose was almost on the ground.
