@sandgren_t42230 We do know each other. I remember you like it was yesterday. Don't broadcast in the clear, and I don't think my DM actually works; but, I would love to be put in touch with Ray. He's one of my favorite people in the world.
@sandgren_t42230 I know it was a tough spot. You done well.
I've stayed in touch with as many as I can, but we've lost a few. The original XO (Schmitty) is gone, as is Happy. I still text with Amiss and Clint often. Pyles lives in the area.
@sandgren_t42230 Small world, ain't it? That company was T/O with all Sgt squad leaders and a SNCO MG Section Leader. I spent 28 months there. When I think back on it, I am reminded of the opening lines to A Tale of Two Cities. Semper Fi Brother.
@KeithDoyon@CoyoteUnclean@KrisVectors Correct. The small thing that people focused on bean counting missed was the % longevity/retention of Marines with the scout sniper secondary MOS. Barrett, Booker, Zickefoose, Johnston, Parisi, Gominsky, Hughes, the Elder brothers, et al. Skill sharers.
F-N pro infantrymen.
@konstructivizm This is a great point. What an example #ArtemisII set for future efforts, and for crews/teams now. Couple enthusiasm and professionalism. One could go far.
Go #NASA
Eyes lifted skyward to find Integrity.
Example indeed.

The last day of Warfighting for 2/4’s Magnificent Bastards—34 Marines KIA and 175 wounded but not before 250 Iraqis killed.
LtCol Kennedy says it best, “…we should have had a more aggressive posture, now my Hearts harden towards their cause…”
Never Forget Marines 🦅🌎⚓️
Bad news out of Richmond: Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed HB 40, banning so-called “ghost guns.”
This law attacks your fundamental right to build firearms for personal use, a practice as American as the Second Amendment itself.
She also signed HB 21, which exposes the firearms industry to endless lawsuits for crimes committed by people they never sold to. This is nothing more than a backdoor attempt to drive up prices, reduce availability, and ultimately disarm law-abiding citizens through economic warfare.
These bills don’t stop criminals. They punish responsible Americans, aka, YOU.
@CarlosRNavarro1@RightPulseNewss Thanks. 25 minutes of research supports your claims. It is a reminder that all are susceptible to fearmongering.

🐾K9 Hero in Action!
K9 Rex, one of our ACSO dogs trained to find missing children, helped locate a 7-year-old girl after she was separated from her mother for nearly two hours. Rex found her in just 12 minutes!
Deputies responded to a park in the 6400 block of S. Telluride St. on April 2 after the young girl ran off because she didn’t want to leave. Deputies, K9 units, and drones immediately began searching the area.
Deputy Gray and K9 Rex got to work using the girl’s shoes to track her scent. Rex quickly picked up the trail and led deputies to a nearby backyard where she was found.
The scared girl tried to run again, but Deputy Halliburton safely caught up with her. She was unharmed and reunited with her family.
This was Rex’s first time successfully locating a missing child since completing his tracking training last year.
Great work by everyone involved, and way to go, Rex! 👏
