Expert 4th Award USMC 200 300 500 yrd lines 1981 - 85

As I understand it, this is to either announce training upcoming or to detail out and share training that you've had (detailed AARs).

Congrats on the award.

if the USMC doesn't qualify as training then i don't know what would.

thank you for your service Wes!

I seem to remember some training time in there somewhere. I'm a man of few words, so I won't bother you with the details.

Expert - M14, 1968-69. Never qualified with the M16, they just handed it to me in 'Nam! We figured it out...

hell thats just the highlights list lol, the training stuff in that list starts at MOUTs! The Rock's ok, haven't got out much though. I'm at Kadena AFB, this week I was on this program they call Head Start, gives you some language skills, cultural knowledge and history of the battle. Then you go out on a battle tour and then down to this place called Ryukyu Mura, it's a recreation of the villages at the time of the battle. They do some dancing, singin n ya get to swallow a shot or two of sake. If ya pay for the Habu Snake show ya get to taste of the good stuff, I walked out with a decent buzz on, then we proceeded to American Village. Couple of us hit a Soba shop that was actually Ramen noodle(demmit this stuff sux after ya eat the true noodle) had a coupla Sapporo's n some Yaku Soba n jumped back on the bus. Havin issues finding a car I actually like though, had to give up on getting a truck they're more costly than I thought.

Dang sounds like your having fun

Did they give you a sample of the habu powder after the habu/mongoose fight??

Still have a bottle of Habu Sake

Are the mini van's still cheap?? knew a couple family guys who got em for under $2k and ran the piss out of em while there. I got a car on base from a guy PCSing for 1K and ran it into the ground the 3 years I was there. Ended up getting $50 for it when I left

Wish I remembered the bar on BC street we went to, gave momma san a bottle a month from the class VI and drank for free....

lotta BC is offlimits now (this Colonel is a female in Charge of our Battalion, yes we only have a Battalion ) Actually the wife wants a Honda SM-X(kind of a minivan), them things got a shatload of headroom in em I was surprised at my 5'11" being able to look up and still be a good foot from the roof. They only show the fight on video now , yes I had some of the powder too, she noticed me slumpin my shoulder, it's still jacked up from Iraq, it worked but I think the two full shots of Habu I had were more of the cure lol.
