OK, in 1 hour I'm boarding a plane bound for California. I'm getting married June 22 and not returning to this FREE state of mine till July5. All internet access that I'll have will be limited.

Anyways, pictures (for sure) and hopefully video will makes is way to the board and you all will get to see my special day.

Thanks & God Bless to all!

I'm out taxi is here!!

Congratulations and God speed.

I believe in the band of brothers... Semper Fi.

Smack that ass with the NCO sword once for me!

(gently)....

All our best......

I just returned to Michigan from there... thank god. It was alright but I won't be complaining about much of anything (except maybe our weather) for quite a while.

BAND OF BROTHERS
1. All Marines are entitled to dignity and respect as individuals, but must abide by common standards established by proper authority.

2. A Marine should never lie, cheat, or steal from a fellow Marine or fail to come to his aid in time of need.

3. All Marines should contribute 100% of their abilities to the unit’s mission. Any less effort by an individual passes the buck to someone else.

4. A unit, regardless of size, is a disciplined family structure, with similar relationships based on mutual respect among members.

5. It is essential that issues and problems which tend to lessen a unit’s effectiveness be addressed and resolved.

6. A blending of separate cultures, varying educational levels, and different social backgrounds is possible in an unselfish atmosphere of common goals, aspirations, and mutual understanding.

7. Being the best requires common effort, hard work, and teamwork. Nothing worthwhile comes easy.

8. Every Marine deserves job satisfaction, equal consideration and recognition of his accomplishments.

9. Knowing your fellow Marine well enables you to learn to look at things, through his eyes, as well as your own.

10. Issues detracting from the efficiency and sense of well being of an individual should be surfaced and weighed against the impact on the unit as a whole.

11. It must be recognized that a brotherhood concept depends on all members belonging-- being fully accepted by others within.

Congrats!

Mike, here's to it being all that you hope for...best wishes, and congratulations - Ben V.

Congrats!

Enjoy yourself brother! Catch ya on the flipside.

Congrats, Marine and fellow Saiga enthusiast! May your marriage be as blessed as mine has been and continues to be after 27 years!

Um, you wouldn't be heading directly to San Fransisco for that wedding now, would you?

I heard there's a run on "weddings" down there right now.

Anyway, yeah, congrats!

I called Sarge today, and he didnt answer, and its friday! I wished him well, and offered my congratulations to him via a message. ( I think he might actually have done it!)

I hope that when he reads this thread and sees this, that he is still as happy as he once was, or even happier!

Way to go, Mike!

Yeah, the big day is approaching!!!!! good luck Bro!!!!
