Rules for Littoral Conflict with Hostile Exchange of Ordnance

[280PLUS]

Dang, you just HAD to bring them up didn't ya... I had completely fogotten about the Samoan drag queens... The only decent looking women in Guam were over at Anderson, I think the Air Foce kept them on retainer to stay over there

I don't know there's something about a 6' 8" tall looking 500 lb Samoan dressed in a Mumu and sporting a red Gardenia in his hair that I find very hard to forget. I whispered to my friend Ken "Ozzy" Osburne, "I think we better get outta here before he takes a liking to us!!"

I noticed when I was at my kid's boot camp graduation on Lackland that there were QUITE A FEW very attractive young ladies wearing AF uniforms. I was beginning to think maybe I had chosen the wrong branch oh so many years ago. I'm STILL not sure...

Hehehe- Yep that could be true too 280 Plus... Just got back from Lovely Yoko- 2 earthquakes and 1 typhoon in 6 days. I did see a couple of USN cuties- However, they were wearing M92's and carrying shotguns (pier guards for Blue Ridge)!

Saw a t-shirt last time fleet week was in NYC:

"when you absolutly, positivly need it destroyed overnight: U.S. MARINES"
and underneath some one had writing in permanant marker "as long as someone will be nice enough to give us a ride"

probably written by a navy guy

Last WAVE I recall was working a hawser on a tugboat. I think her arms were bigger than mine!

nyresq it probably was A friend of mine commands one of the 'new" ESG's (Expeditionary Strike Group) that is working out in 5th and 7th Fleets. They carry an entire Marine Expeditionary Unit and hardware, plus all associated helo's, plus have enough surface and "other" forces to deliver anything from M-16 fire up to Tomahawks on target. Incidentally, they are proudest of the work they are doing to provide Medical and humanitarian aid in that part of the world!!!! They have rebuilt at least two orphanages and spent a lot of time providing medical care. One of the biggest problems is getting the ships enough time in port to maintain the prescribed OPTEMPO/PERSTEMPO ratios...

And yeah 280, there are still a few of them around too!!!!
