Alpo Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) That's the group from the Egyptian Obelisk Department, in the archeology department at the local college, training for the Boston Marathon. They're going to run together. That's why they have matching t-shirts. Edited January 3 by Alpo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Not mine. I bought a Colt 1911A1 at the PX on Okinawa and carried it, and I picked up an S&W Model 60 for someone going home. Had a room mate who got a Browning High Power there and knew a Chaplain who did too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when I was in, ('77-'90) the average Marine would be hard pressed to have one. More senior Officers, probably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I recall an article in Leatherneck magazine, back in the mid 70s. The lady said that every base housing she had ever lived in, the interior walls were one of two colors. Either white or pale green and she had discovered that THIS brand of white toothpaste and THIS brand of mint toothpaste matched the paint exactly. So when they moved into new base housing, she would put nails in the wall to hold pictures, and when they got transferred she would pull all the nails and plug the holes with toothpaste. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Chihuahuas can be deadly. Mine will lick you to death and shed all over your clothes. She's a great watch dog, too. She'll watch someone steal everything in the house and then beg a ride in their truck. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
