Re: HM3 Eichmann A. Strickland, KIA 09 SEPT 2008, AFGHANISTAN

lcweathersby — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:04:59 -0000

Strickland.....I only knew this man as Eich. He was truly a great friend to me. We spent many many out of work hours together. I knew him better than many people and grew to love him like a brother. I think ............know that all who have came across him have came to love him. Eich was very very colorful, with one of the biggest hearts I have ever seen. A great friend, a Wonderful Corpsman, a good son, an honest man. The clubs we have been to together, the friends we have made together, eating, dancing, laughing, work. You will be missed and will always be remembered as a great sailor to me, a friend, and apart of my family. I Love You and you will NEVER be forgotten!

HM2 (FMF) Weathersby, Lc

Re: Uniform Uniformity?? (Say that 5 times fast wacka wacka wacka!)

Corpsman_Billy — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:50:56 -0000

I agree that uniformity is important. But I haven't been in a year yet and look at how many uniforms have changed. The working whites and Johnny Cashs' out. New PT gear, new NSU. Then switching over to the NWU from Utilities which I still have yet to buy. Can't we just settle on something already?

Re: BuMed warns of swine flu vaccine hoax message

swineflusymptoms68 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:30:07 -0000

Swine Flu Vaccine is still being pushed and pulled. Now the US population is being told that their is not enough swine flu vaccine doses. Garbage, the drug companies have had over a year to make the doses. It is just a ploy to get more money out of the government.

I tend to agree with you. I know when I was assigned to the Marine Corps and we had Army with us.. it was really quite the sight.. ;-)

Good Comment.

Who knew the Congress could make sense.. but then they backed down.

I Knew one day someone would have something to say abt the various "operational uniforms" now in play.
As much as I like th MARPRINT pattern(s), We are the US Military. We need a "uniform standard" for the ground combat forcesthat represents us as a whole so that WE are easily identifiable to each other.

Re: AOTC #78 Memorial for HM3 Benjamin Constiglione

Henry Machado — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:45:39 -0000

My names Henry Machado, Ben was one of my best friends, I found out about his passing a month later. i feel terrible. Ben and I met in corps school and spent alot of time together. i remember when we both passed the final test in corps school we went to get the caduceus tattoo together. Ben ALWAYS had my back whether it be helping me study or pulling me away from an argument and keeping me out of trouble. i cant count the times stuck his neck out for me. Ben and i would joke around and he would say "you better pray you get stationed with me so i can keep you out of trouble" so when we went to get our orders we tried to go to Lejeune together but i was sent to 29 palms. The day he graduated from corps school (a week before me) he called me to meet his family and i was on the other side of base and tried to get there in time but didn't make it. I have him to thank for passing corps school. i got a phone call from Ben before he deployed and told me all about his deployment prior and how he was planning on becoming a physicians assistant. We also agreed we would get together when he got back and have a beer. He really was a GREAT corpsman and put his whole heart into his job. I'm sure ill never meet anyone with as much determination and courage as Ben had and Ill always remember him and thank him for all he did for his COUNTRY, and myself. I am soo sorry for your families loss. and my prayers are with you. If there is anything i can do for your family please let me know, my email is Henryjmachado@gmail.com and phone is (908)361-0998

Joel, you and your family are in our prayers. I just can't fathom the pain you must feel at the loss of a son. He must have made you very proud with his accomplishments. May the Lord be with you during this time and please know our prayers are with you.

When we all voluntarilly signed on, we knew there would be separations, and the hardships. We knew there would be people in Washington D.C. voting to control our lives, and making decisions that make absolutely no sense to us.
So, what do we do? We do our jobs as we're told, we sit on that tarmac day after day. We learn the hard way that we don't tell our families when we're coming home because it isn't going to happen.
War or no war, in the Navy, we are going to suffer through deployments. It's a fact of life. If you didn't know that war was a possibility, or that war was going to cause a hardship when you signed up, well, your bust.
For those of us who have been part of the volunteer armed forces era, we knew what we were getting into, even though we never thought it may happen. But the military has always been the military, the government has always been the government, and neither of them will ever change. Well, I recant that. My son is in the Navy now, and from what I understand, things are a lot easier than they were 20 years ago, so there are some changes.
So, you are right in the respect that you can express your opinion, and I'm glad you did. But I hope you don't carry that around with you, because it's going to eat you alive, and for something that isn't going to change, and something that you won't get changed, is it worth taking your mind off the mission, and risking the lives of others, or not being able to take care of your Marine?
Let it go... We signed up for this...

Hello,
My name is Felicity and I was hoping to be able to reach someone on one of your lists. His name is Montes, Carlos Eliseo. He and I have been friends from highschool on. After the death of another friend we lost touch and I was hoping that someone will help me find him or at least let him know that I am looking for him. I have been unable to locate him for almost 10 years and I worry for him every day. Please help me.
