Biotex Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Congratulations! Congratulations on the promotion. I always hated having to have all new patches sewed on my uniforms, but heck as a Master Sergeant you can now pay someone else to do it and have enough left over to buy another Comanche. Just sayin.... :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche County Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Good job brother, although it was over 15 years ago when I gave a silver dollar to an enlisted man for my first salute, I wish I could salute you and give you a nice piece of silver now.

MJRemi Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Good for you man! Are you staying at 29 Palms or do you have to transfer? If you end up at Pendleton I'll treat you to a beer. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thanks fellas. Having new stripes sewn on is just a right of passage. I'll hand my old ones down to a worthy Marine and continue the tradition. 19 years might seem long but I have some broken time. I got out in June of 97 as a E5 because I could not re-up with the Gulf War drawl down. I came back in Oct of 97 as a E3 and pretty much started over. I'll find out in a month or two where I'm going. I am hoping for GA but it all depends on the needs of the Corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Glad to have such a patriot on the board. Most guys take every thing that happens personal and blames the service as if its some kinda business corporation. Service in our military requires a great deal of self sacrifice and your service is not lost on me sir. God bless you and your family and I hope you guys have a super merry Christmas!

johnnyc Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Congrats Bo! When you left CA for GA, you talked about coming home to CA. Now that you're back, you want to go back to GA? :) Good luck wherever you end up, but I hope you stay in CA. Love you, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbear Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yut. Look forward to hearing this same announcement for Master Guns. Hope they send you someplace better than the Stumps. Or cooler, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Thanks everyone. I am pretty sure I'm punching out at 22 1/2 years. I'm not getting any younger and my body is starting to let me know that too. Only time will tell though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
