A thought that likely will intrest US Marines

[Thorgrimm]

Storm Grunt, compared to C-Rats MRE's are a culinary delicacy. The solid one inch of grease you had to scrape off the the Beans and Franks and the Spaghetti caused more Marines to skip the main course and just eat the sh*t disk. And I know we all thought the disks were no more than round slabs of Ex-Lax with rice in them. Never had a bowel movement problem eating those.

Man seeing that nastiness of the C-Rats then seeing the MRE's caused me to think modern Marines are spoiled. Food-wise that is.



Cheers, Thorgrimm

 

[Storm Grunt]

Yeah I guess I was fortunate to miss c-rats by a few years,(when did they switch to MRE's?) Although with the early MRE's you couldn't give the tuna with noodles away and they had the same bind you up for a week affect

Here is another good WW2 Marine by Bebro:

And the link to the page HERE.

 

[BadKharma]

I served with the 5th SFG out of Fort Bragg and enjoyed the switch from C-rats to MRE's. Although on the rare occasion you actually could heat up a C-rat by putting it inside the box it came in and lighting it on fire (of course dont forget to open the can slightly first) they wernt half bad.

 

[Roman Legion]

No, Thorgrimm I will admit, I gave the marines a thought, no doubt I could get into it, but in the end decided to go ARMY.

 

[Roman Legion]

Ah, the MRE's, I havent ate one since 1996, in Nebraska. heh, my dad always called them "Meals refused by Ethiopians"

I've copyed the script for the military advisor, so we can thing for things to have Chesty say, Chestyism are prefered but if there's not one that fits we can think of something Chesty might of said for that ocation.

BTW: check out the link, Chesty is the most decorated Marine ever, and a mustang (started as enlisted).

Some might argue that Chesty was the most decorated Marine ever. In my view two Medals of Honor (Dan Daly and John J. Kelly) trumps five Navy Crosses (Chesty) any day of the week.

my least favorite is the beef franks.

Ladies and gentalmen, I'm sorry I have post this, but if I don't I fear that this thread will be moved to bal..bal...yak..ity..smackedy. Please refrain from postting here if it's not about: 1. Chesty; 2. Marines, US or other and has something to do with civ; 3. Suport for an idea/request pretaining to one of the above catagories. If this seems rude, remeber it's not meant to be. This is my thread, Please treat it as you would have me treat your's. Thank you.

[10x10pickup]

I have to say that I should have handle that better.
In the intrest of good relations, I wish to say: that if you start your own thread, you may post a link to it. As I know many military types are following this one.
Once again sorry about handling this so poorly.
Good luck to you in honoring your hero.

 

[Roman Legion]

Im still iritated, w/ what you said earlier, I wasnt asking someone to make Audie, I just wanted to tell you that, and when I was finished w/ audie I was going to make Chesty, but I really dont want to now, as I said above im still Iritated, by your response.

 

[BadKharma]

RL a quick search on google revealed several good pics of audie murphy. Even a really nice painting type. Personally I wouldnt mind seeing both of these done.

 

[10x10pickup]

Now then lets try to get back to the subjects I outlined as the perpouse of this thread.

 

[10x10pickup]

I seem to remeber seeing a blurb from the mil advisor when a unit becomes elite, Maybe we can work in the saying "uncommon valor was a common virtue" at that point.
Ah, tes here's the sript enter
"#UNITPROMOTIONELITE
Our Veteran $UNIT0 is now Elite!"

Something like this mabey:
"Uncommon valor was a common virtue,
for valor in combat our $UNIT0 has been awarded Elite status!"

 

[Storm Grunt]

I dont know if the blurb pop up window would show long enough to read all that though.....

 

[7ronin]

As already mentioned, the general holds the Navy Cross with four Gold Stars in lieu of additional awards; the Army Distinguished Service Cross; the Army Silver Star Medal; the Legion of Merit with Combat "V" and Gold Star in lieu of a second award; the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V;" the Air Medal with two Gold Stars in lieu additional awards; and the Purple Heart Medal. His other medals and decorations include the Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon with four bronze stars; the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal with one bronze star; the World War I Victory Medal with West Indies clasp; the Haitian Campaign Medal; the Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal; the Marine Corps Expeditionary Medal with one bronze star; the China Service Medal; the American Defense Service Medal with Base clasp; the American Area Campaign Medal; the Asiatic-Pacific Area Campaign Medal with four bronze stars; the World War II Victory Medal; the National Defense Service Medal; the Korean Service Medal with one silver star in lieu of five bronze stars; the United Nations Service Medal; the Haitian Medaille Militaire; the Nicaraguan Presidential Medal of Merit with Diploma; the Nicaraguan Cross of Valor with Diploma; the Republic of Korea's Ulchi Medal with Gold Star; and the Korean Presidential Unit Citation with Oak Leaf Cluster. That totals 46. No telling what the other six were. When counting medals and decorations each award of the same medal is counted individually.
