US Marines 70's and 80's

[Jon Skagfeld]

Carman:

I have a particular affinity for USMC, having spent 3 weeks last year on an exchange program on bases in North Carolina, including Oceana, Dam Neck, Cherry Point and others. Had the honour of being "coined" as an Honorary Marine by the Commanding General at Cherry Point.

Totally gung ho and good to go on the one hand, yet approachable, friendly, professional, outgoing, and "head screwed on right"describes todays generation of Marines.

If you get a chance to talk to a Marine, ask him if he did his time at 8th and I streets, Washington, DC. also ask him if he has had the pleasure of a Mongolian BBQ during Friday night beer call.

Sorry to hear about your computer...I just got mine back after having had severe O/S problems. Hey, so now what's Mark gonna do with his spare time if he can't slag you, as he has so unmercifully in the past?...as if you didn't deserve it!

Regards
