Let's see. Civilian/barbarian...thought about joining the CIA...then realized I didn't want to get my nuts chopped off for an old man's political and economic agenda...I guess my MOS is a natural leader, for I am a philosophy major and the only skill I know is how to control, inspire and lead my fellow man. So I guess, my MOS is that one day, I will be that old man that sends all the young men to die...

Philosopher's are all pacifists. A philosopher just has a philosophy. Alexander the Great, who was Aristotle's pupil, was a philosopher.

A barbarian is one who doesn't live within the realms of the city-state. They live a life of travel.


I would have applied for Foreign Service Operator.

Marine Corps Reserves Six years 1812 Tank Crewman 4th Tank Bt A co

Still in my IRR last day of it Dec 27 2008
I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest and we ate wild blueberries. More than 20 years ago. I was just a boy of four or five. The leaves were so dark and green then. The grass smelled sweet with the spring wind...For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

to put it into context this is thier song just put in let us try

THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
BRANCH SONG "ESSAYONS"
Essayons, sound out the battle cry
Essayons, we'll win or we'll die
Essayons, there's nothing we won't try
We're the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Pin the castle on my collar
I've done my training for the team
You can call me an engineer soldier
The warrior spirit has been my dream
We are builders, we are fighters
We are destroyers just as well
There've been doubters who met with the sappers
And then we blew them all straight to hell
Our brothers fighting on the battlefield
Look to us to point the way
We get there first and then we take the risks
To build the roads and the air strips
And bridge the mighty river streams
We don't care who gets the glory
We're sure of one thing, this we know
Somewhere out there an engineer soldier
Designed the plan for the whole darn show
Essayons whether in war or peace
We will bear our red and our white
Essayons we serve America
And the U.S. Army Corps of engineers
Essayons! Essayons!
I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest and we ate wild blueberries. More than 20 years ago. I was just a boy of four or five. The leaves were so dark and green then.

My family has a colorful Military History.
My Great Grandfather on my Mother's side Chased Pancho Villa under Blackjack Pershing.
I have a couple of Relatives who were with the Long Range Desert Group in North Africa. I have another Relative who was driven out of Dunkirk, fought his way across Africa and then made his way up Italy. In 56, he was re activated and took a little drive across Egypt. A Close relative of mine was active in Aden, Yemen, Northern Ireland and London. Don't ask me for more details as I don't want to know.

I have an uncle who served in WWII in Europe. I had another uncle who was a B-17 bomber pilot and later B-52 pilot. He actually survived and came home after the war. My father was unable to join, but he worked in a steel mill helping crank steel for various uses including military during WWII and other conflicts from there. The factory he worked in was actually on enemy plans to bomb or destroy as others were. Had anscestors served on both sides of the Civil War. Had some that fought the British during War of Independance.

The one of the best thing I had growing up was a WWI veteran living across the street from me. The stories he would tell bad and good. He and Dad were close friends. Of course, I didn't realize it at the time.

A guy I used to work with had a grandfather that was a Marine in WWII. His grandfather's buddy called out to him to warn him about a german soldier that was about to bayonet him from behind. As my friend's grandfather turned around he took the bayoney in the hip and ran it all the way up, across the stomach and chest to the opposite (diagnal from hip) shoulder. When asked what his grandfather did he said that his grandfather told him, "HA- I shot him in the mouth!" He drew his side arm as he was being sliced- lol.

I kinda thought so when I saw where he'd been active.

To join in, my Grandfather on my father's side served with the English Army during WW2.

One of my great uncles was a colonial in the Marine Corp. He was an officer in the Pacific during WW2 doing foward observing for artillery. One time, his team was pinned down. It was his partner, a sergent job to observe. As soon as the sergent poked up his head, he was shot. My great uncle stayed in that foxhole for a days until help arrived. He retired in the 60s, for his family. He also wrote a book, on how to combat guerilla warfare that President Kenedy liked and signed. If Kenedy hadn't been shot, perhaps the Vietnam war would have been fought differently.

During the Civil War, my great, great grandfather was a field surgeon. At that time, surgery and carpentry used similar tools.

What a small world. I just met someone from the 82nd, posted at Bragg in '89. He tells a pretty good story of a drop into Panama, too. Wonder if he knew your father.


It is a small world. My father was stationed at Ft. Kobbee in Panama from '78 to 81'. I was 7-10 years old back then :P
