As a young man I served as a Marine, one 4 year hitch and I spent some time on an AKA. Gotta tell ya, I was impressed at the amount of hard work those Squabies did. It looked like a non-stop round the clock thing. I loved being lulled to sleep aboard a rocking ship and was a little jealous, at times I wished I had joined the Navy! Lol.
You sailors deserve a large pat on the back and I readily can see the Navy-Marine Corps. connection!

We Marines have, and always have had, the greatest respect for our brothers in the T***sportation Division. They have never failed in delivering us safely, and expeditiously, to our next field of battle.

My late older brother served in the "T***sportation Division" in WWII in the Pacific and he was involved as a gunner in the various island campaigns. I was a kid but I remember the stories he told about Kamikaze attacks on his ship the USS Lauderdale and other ships in
fleet. I take my hat off to any WWII veteran....our last "real war".

My father served in the T***sportation Division during the War, was discharged in early '46, then enlisted in the then USAAF, serving an additional 20 yrs. Two of my sons, the eldest and the youngest, both served in the T.D. The youngest was a mustang, becoming an LDO Lt. Cdr., serving 30 years. However, I eventually forgave both of them.

Any good Marine Father would forgive his sons such a error in judgement...:wink:...they meant well. :mrgreen:

Lol! I guess we're both old coots! One of my sons joined the NG as an enlisted man. He wanted to be and was a cook and he worked in a local ER full time. His medical interest got the better of him so
He was able to switch his MOS from cook to Medical Supply clerk and eventually tooks tests and became an officer. After attaining the rank of Captain he completed his 20 year hitch and now works for P****r. I forgave him too! Lol.

Yes, we both extended our sympathies, empathy, and forgiveness to our progeny for their lapses. :lol:
