[Guest someone else]

I'm a privacy freak so I don't divulge much personal info on the internet.

USMC

Spent some time in the grunts, some time in amphibious assault and very little time in tanks.

Specialist schools, NBC, LMG, Heavy weapons, & boobytraps (live and static).

I have my combat action ribbon and 3 Southwest Asia Service medals along with more medals and ribbons than I can remember. Not a whole lot. 4ish rows and a couple rows of medals. Most are duplicates, stars etc.... USMC isn't too liberal with the ribbons. I'd have to find the box to actually remember everything.

It's great to see some other devil dogs here.
