  1. You have any tornadoes near you Lucky? We are dealing with mud flows here....waiting for some serious mud slides with the next storm. Almost 500 houses are to be evacuated tomorrow when the rain starts. These are all houses that almost burned down a few months ago from The Station fire. Yikes.

  2. No, but my dad was a 1st Lt in The Corp during the Korean war and my grandfather was a "China Marine." He was lucky and got out of China about 6 months before the war started. He did end up in Guadalcanal and a few other garden spots before the war ended. He retired after the Korean War as a Master Sergeant.

    I was very close to going in after high school in 1985, but the recruiter would not promise me the job I wanted right away. He said I should just sign up and that I would be able to get the job (crash crew) after I had been in a while. I told him that I knew I would more than likely remain in the infantry for my entire career and "no thanks." Sometimes, I wish I went in anyway. I ended up going back to school for another two years and then working on an ambulance in So Central LA.

    So, six promotions to go then......that makes you an E-5?
