I just found out the my wife's grandmother used to have dinner parties with Chesty Puller....no bull****

[Beelzebub]

chesty butler???

[kjkriston]

Ummm....I'm kinda slow and don't get it

[Beelzebub]

never heard of chesty puller, that's all. however, chesty butler, is the HNIC.

[delta314]

Chesty Puller was the most decorated Marine ever....c'mon Beelz....At the Frozen Chosen he was completely surrounded and said something to the effect "we're surrounded, that simplifies our problems..." & "retreat hell, we're just advancing in a different direction"
He wanted to go to Vietnam in 66, but they told him he was too damn old..(where have I heard that before)
One battle he took 70 casualties and killed 1400 japs. He was definitely "THE MAN"

[kjkriston]

WORD

[Beelzebub]

yup, ya'll are right, i'm confusing names in my head.

those BST tests didn't stick around too long in the ol' brain cells, lol.

[kjkriston]

Totally understandable since I only remember like 2 names out of all the others. We don't even take the BST for real anymore....there's always a "study sheet" when you take it.

[Beelzebub]

ahha, i remember now, i was thinking smedley butler, lol.

study sheets? yup, the ol' S-3 shops never change

[Yjyankee]

what up Devils!??? Just found this thread! BST's? I thought they were MCI's? I missed Cpl my 1st time around because I didn't do my personal finance course on time..

Archibald Delta, that's hilarious!!

I remember back in Jan 93 when I left Michigan for boot camp. Ice storm w/ sub-zero temps. I get to San Diego the next day & it's sunny & I'm surrounded by DI's & palm trees... Dudes, I was in heaven!!! All I was looking forward to was graduating boot camp & learning how to surf!! got done w/ boot, went north to Camp Del Mar for 3 months of admin school (learned how to surf!!!) & got stationed @ MCRD San Diego!! Did my 4 years all in San Diego County.. Sucked to be me..

I do miss it though, & Beelz, thanks for that initial night before Christmas. I have it on my computer @ home & read it often...

SEMPER FI MARINES!

Dumbass. I bet you were a ****bag Marine. Refer to post number 49.

[Beelzebub]

MCI's were the things we had to order through the S-3 shop. BST was the basic skills training book.

oh, and nate, yeah, i got accused of that numerous times
