Stay Calm. Peace is back in the yard.

I did not get the billet I was aiming for. I did not get the women I once thought was right for me. I did get the billet I was meant for and the woman I am supposed to be with. My point ... I am back in the yard without restrictions I was once given for a job I didn't get.

Great to see you back

Heya JJ,

Glad you are back. We can once again have more conversations about how strongly we believe in redundancy.

Welcome back

Welcome back, Warren! Semper fi, Marine!

Sorry you didn't get the billet you wanted.

Your new username has a kind of French sound to it. Like Journalis should sound like "JOOR-nal-LEE". Very cool!

It's good to see you back! Welcome home!

Welcome back Brother...great to see you here again!

Welcome back JJ. Looking forward to some interesting posts from you, so get busy!

Welcome back bro.

welcome back

Welcome back Warren!

If that path wasn´t for you - you will find another.

Good to see you here.

ALRIGHT JJ! That's all I need though, another Marine.

SO, WHERE ya going and what ya gonna be doing?

JJ, you DO know we now expect some quality posts. I can't keep up this high standard all by myself.

No










Way!!

WAY!!!

Good to have you back mate !!!

We need to get him posting more!

Yeah, TWO posts. That's just lame.

Glad to meet another Dog. Welcome back.

You killed your old profile?

Camoflage!

Glad you made it back brother.

One post wonder!

Come on JJ!

Welcome back amigo!

I think he got shy on us.

Heck yeah welcome back!!

He's doing fire team postings. "I POSTED, THEY SEE ME, I'M GONE!"

Shoot and move.

JJ, welcome back!

JJ's hiding on us.

I just had flashbacks of guys yelling "Run Fuzzy Bunny Run!"

Sorry guys, I have been busy with a new wife, two step sons and work. I think I have adjusted ... who am I kidding. I am getting there and should be around more.

Randy, I am heading to Iowa for a few months. Me and the Jen are buying a house there. She got a job as the evening news anchor. Then I will be in Japan by fall. I will be there two years. I will be the III MEF public affairs chief.

Wow. JJ thats some big things you have going on. Congrats sounds like it should be good to go.

Cool JJ. We were wondering what had happened to you. Oh when you get to Japan, Look up the National sword Museum, they have Japanese swords over a thousand years old there. You might like it. Also when you hike up Mt. Fuji send my my "Fuji Stick" when you find it.

Haha, actually LIKE AN IDIOT, I didn't hike up it. But I DID see the Tokyo Eiffel Tower. AND The military has a Hotel in down town Tokyo. The cost per night depends upon your rank. Also You will need to go to Rupungi to the Hard Rock Cafe.

I spent the first three a half years of my military career stationed in Japan. I was in Okinawa for about two and half years and Camp Fuji for the rest. As the only photography asset stationed on Fuji, I had to hike up the volcano about four seven times. I have stayed at the New Sanno hotel near Raoppongi more times than I can remember ... my memory may be affect by the libations.

I haven't been tot he sword museum though. I'll check it out.

OK, So You'll be on Okinawa. Oh well you can always catch a hop to Honshu. Who knows, while you're on Okinawa maybe you can take some classes and learn to defend yourself.

I see spear fishing and SCUBA diving in my future (still have my gear). Four of the Marines I worked with on my first tour there will be getting there about the time I do. We are looking into getting a boat. Tuna fishing!

My McFu (Play on MCMAP, Marine Corps Mixed Martial Arts Program) is strong. But, I think I may study Ninjitsu and look into other MOS fields. I can be the secret squirrel/silent assissin/space shuttle door gunner.

I LOVE SCUBA diving. Course the only place I've dove is Hawaii. But it was nice.

Hey, get in touch with SF45ACP. His wife is from Okinawa and she MIGHT be able to put you onto a sword maker seeing as how she has her own Katana!

JJ, you would have to be the Door gunner. We already have a secret Squirrel. And you WOULD be silent. There's no sound in space.

If there's no sound in space how did Major Tom talk to Ground Control?

Telepathically?

Glad you are back!

Personally I always thought being a Submarine Door Gunner would be an exhilarating, and somewhat refreshing, job.

I spent five days at the Sanno hotel in Yokohama for an R&R....short, but a GREAT time! ................

He was inside the space capsule and used something they call a two way radio.

Hahaha^^^^ what a smart skunk

Well, a smart SOMETHING at least! ..............................

BS. I have proof. The voices say they are in outer space. And, a verbal testimony is admissible in court.

Hahaha^^^ I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

So do I!!!
