Would you Encourage or Discourage your Child to Enlist?

wow.... Get serious.

It is simply not polite to impute someone's commission. I was merely returning the favor. I recall mbd's gaff fine without your reminder. Thank you though.

I was returning the politeness that you showed so many here. I don't want this thread destroyed by pettiness so if you have more to ask or questions, do it in a pm.

I am thinking now that perhaps you were not a real officer. I recall COBs and SGMs asking for my advice or point of view on certain staff issues. Quite the opposite of your experience with these very senior professional NCOs.

Well I don't know what you were doing. I was serving as a Marine officer from 1968-1972. We respected our senior enlisted and treated them with great respect. Here is a link to the infantry company I served with in Vietnam

I don't know why anyone was asking for your view if you were, as you stated, "looking the other way". Did you really serve, where and when?

mdb if you enjoyed your butt spankings from senior NCOs so much then either you liked OCS too much and never grew up to become a real officer, or else some aspect of the program did not work. I do not doubt you wore the uniform, therefore you do not need to prove the obvious. I may question your mental state, but that is a different matter.

Old Man, I hope you did not let them abuse you too much. It would be a shame if that occurred after your bars had turned to silver as well. And judging from your post I cannot tell.

Ah, yes I'm sure you know way more than me. You still have not answered any actual question where did you serve and when? I don't doubt you had your share of some spankings, I do doubt you were ever a commissioned officer or ever served in a real combat position. No one who has done so would post the nonsense that you have posted.

No you don't look like it. You act like it. We all know it. It's sad. :shakehead
