Congratulations fellow “Hollywood” Marine Enlistment date and serial number are hard to forget, even after 45 years. On a different note, I am going out to San Antonio Texas this week to meet up with some Viet Nam Platoon buddys. Semper Fi Marine

USMC obviously :usa2: MCRD1964, Schools Batallion in 65, Deployed 1st Tank Batalion First Marine Division ’65, served at Phu Bai and DaNang until late ’66. I'm the last man on the right.

A few weeks ago I was pulled over, after pulling out from a drug store. My Barracuda is quite loud and I did have my foot in it a little. The young patrolman asked me “what kind of exhaust system I had in the car?” and I responded “Glass packs”. He took my licenses, registration & insurance...

Thanks Redfish, sounds like I should tell my wife and daughter to pack as if we were going to Hawaii.

I will be in North Charleston, SC. Aug. 19-23 with the Vietnam Tankers Association. I will get to see many of my old platoon buddies some I haven’t seen since rotating back to the world. We will be staying at SHERATON NORTH CHARLESTON 4770 Goer Drive, North Charleston, SC 29406. What’s the...

Thank you :-D Don't forget tomarrow is Vetrans Day which I don't get off

Glad to hear you and Rick are back home safe & sound and I am sure everyone here feels badly that you and Rick were treated like dangerous criminals. I hope you and your family (and Rick and his family) gets through this without any further humiliation. Good Luck

What a lovely child and what a beautiful smile, I prayed for her and her family too, hope all goes well.

I joined the Marine Corp League in San Jose CA this Saturday. They have a positive presence in the community here but I only just ran across the organization. I was the youngster at the meeting (at 62) maybe that’s the reason. I agree with the consensus that posting anyone’s identity on line is...

I second that and would add GTXperience to the list too.

The only real loss is that Windsordeath seems to be “missing in action”. I sent him a private message last week after Fastback340 shut down the original thread. Windsordeath felt genuinely bad about the effect of his comments had on Mopar1962 and he sent me a copy of the PM apologies he sent to...

John, you did a good thing, glad the thread is finally closed. I didn't detect any hidden agenda or disrespect. I tried very hard not to post again , after my first respons but I really needed to stop. Anyway, Happy 50 th, hope you see many more.

Put a Corvair motor in it Jack :toothy10:

I played in High School and watched every game the 49’s played (63 – 64) It really helps to see someone do it right. Don't much care for TV sports nowadays, too old to play anymore and watching is only marginally entertaining. Working in the garage is a lot more fun than sitting watching any...

I sent for 10 tickets in early December but only received them a couple of weeks ago. Carrie told me in December they had run out of raffle tickets and the new supply hadn’t arrived (Joe wouldn’t be too concerned but you might contact Carry through there website, to confirm she received your...

I also look for the Eagle Avatar every time I log on, especially in the “Jokes, Funny Stuff, Anything Goes" Forum. However, I am not a cat person but the wife brought home a, barely alive, kitten that bonded with our Norwegian Elk Hound. He grew into a cat that thought he was a dog; one of our...

The Silvertones box, pick guard, & bridge all look usable from the pictures (can’t see how high the action is). Some of the machines look like there missing the collars but that just might be the picture. F holes don’t usually project as well as round holes. The guitar looks like it’s in pretty...

I started playing guitar while in the Marine Corp in 1964, while studying Ground Radio Repair at MCRD Schools Battalion. Never developed a viable lead guitar style so I picked up harmonica and stuck with playing rhythm guitar. I still play but prefer a more acoustic style these days (old fart...

The year is 1907, one hundred years ago...... Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907. "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact...

I enjoyed the Winwood and Clapton duo too, but Jeff Beck performance was awesome. I fell in love with his young bass player and she played the hell out of that bass. BB looked good for 81 and played well too.

sublimeswinger - Next month is the Christmas Party, no general meeting. I haven't been to the party for a while Christmas is soooooo busy. HKELLER - I will be at the meeting around 6:15 and afterwards maybe play some pool in Campbell, see you there.

sublimeswinger, here is the meeting information, I believe I will try to get there ~6:15 (can't miss my noisy B'cuda). I'm not big on meetings; however the club puts on a great show and donates the bulk of the show receipts to charity and the members are genuinely warm & family friendly...

I will post the location when I get home (News letter came yesterday), If I remember correctly, it moved recently from the pizza parlor on Moorpark to somewhere on San Carlos st.

I'm still a member; although I seldom show up for meetings. I was thinking of showing up this Saturday evening.

The Austin Healey 100-4 I owned it 1966-1967 would make the drive from Camp Pendleton in Oceanside to the Bay area in a little over 4 hours, going up Highway 99. I blew out the Fist Motion Shaft once but replaced it with one from another British car (much was interchangeable). Other than...

The one on craiglist looked pretty nice in the picture and family ought to mean something.

Found one on s.f batyarea crageslist for $2500. I had a 56 Austin Healy 100-4 I bought and fixed up; when I got back from Viet Nam in late '66. It didn't know how to go less than 100 miles an hour and it was a blast to drive.

Ha, Who you calling old :salute: Life in the 60’s was anything but sad. When I returned from Viet Nam in 1967 the times had changed considerably and getting back into civilian life took some effort. I was lucky that one of the Midwest guys in my squad bay played guitar and taught me a few...

They attacked us with out provocation on 9/11 and would continue to do so if we were not occupying there forces in Iraq. Fight them there - or fight them here, but make no mistake, the hate us and we will have to fight them. I have lived with what I did in Viet Nam for many years and have never...
