Semper Fi!

In 1961, at age 17, Ermey enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and went through recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego in San Diego, California. For his first few years, he served in the aviation support field before becoming a drill instructor in India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, where he was assigned from 1965 to 1967.

Ermey then served in Marine Wing Support Group 17 at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Okinawa, Japan. In 1968, he was ordered to Vietnam with MWSG-17, and spent 14 months in country. The remainder of his service was on Okinawa where he was advanced to staff sergeant (E-6). He was medically discharged in 1972 because of several injuries incurred during his service. On May 17, 2002, he received an honorary promotion to gunnery sergeant (E-7) by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James L. Jones.

Rest Easy Hero….

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the man who died. Rather we should thank God that this man lived

A soul mate is someone who you carry with you forever. It’s the one person who knew you and accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens, you’ll always love them. Nothing can ever change that.

I was so excited to finally get my new folding board I pulled out all of my tshirts and took it for a test drive. 😳 And it's not even laundry day! 😆  #nice #boxlegend (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNOSnLWhn0X/?igshid=lxtoog0a85n5

One thing I've learned during this pandemic is that I love shopping from home. Well, until Saturday when it's time to breakdown all the shipping boxes. 😒
