General LP Wilson's Birthday toast: THE LOVE THE WONDERFUL LOVE OF A BEAUTIFUL MAID, THE LOVE OF A STAUNCH TRUE MAN, THE LOVE OF A BABY, UNAFRAID, HAVE EXISTED SINCE TIME BEGAN. BUT THE GREATEST OF LOVES, THE QUINTESSENCE OF LOVES, EVEN GREATER THAN THAT OF A MOTHER, IS THE TENDER, PASSIONATE, INFINITE LOVE, OF ONE DRUNKEN MARINE FOR ANOTHER.

Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Bruce Daley, Steve Mohilowski, Phil Brown (deceased), Domingo Torrez, Jim McClain, Gary Ainsworth, John Hutton, Joe Callahan, Dave Chicoine, Collins the runner!, Waldron, Hughes, Steve Fox, Lt Jim Brothwell, Lt Stelly, Capt Sorrel, SSgt Harris...
I want to welcome board all the 7242's and 7208's I know are here on this site: LtCol John Stelly, Maj Dave Maier, Borre, WO4 Lilienthal (NEW member) and new member and fellow boot camp Marine Joe Bourassa

Best Moment
many. Lt Sorrel saw me depressed one day, my warrant to LCpl was forgotten to be typed, I told him I missed being promoted, he had S-1 type it up and I was promoted in the CO's office that afternooon in private! Dennis Sorrel was one straight shooter!

   

Worst Moment
When that dork at the end of the barracks, that guy who looked like he never bathed? stole the picture of the German kid from my stack of pictures

Chain of Command
1st CO was Johnson, the X.O. was Palka, then Wilson was C.O. Who can forget R.A.G. Burns and his walking around with an Axe Handle!?

   

Other Memories
Solid Shield 1978, Northern Wedding/Bold Guard 1978, Smitty getting caught drinking on guard duty while I was Sgt of the Guard (and thankfully already relieved at the time!)
