Joshuab3687 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 All throughout my time in the Corps, Marine history was a passion. It helped me earn my meritorious promotion to E-5 (Sergeant) in 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuab3687 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 He likes the fast responses, he's fussy bout who he adopts. I don't blame him. Its easy for some people to say they were this or that. I wear a USMC shirt every day (never gotten a traffic ticket ) and you'd be surprised at how often I get asked (sceptically) if I served! 10 years ago, that never happened. But it seems as though the whole "Stolen Valor" thing has cropped up all across the country. Mtdobies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuab3687 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Now he says he is impressed advanced in the field is freaking big, ya have his respect. It was no big thing. Had to go in front of 3 officers and 4 staff nco's and answer knowledge questions and be interviewed. I was trying to climb the ladder and become a Warrant Officer.

Joshuab3687 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 I was a "Contract PFC (E-2) when I entered boot camp, by getting 2 other guys to sign up with me. I was top of my class in Combat Engineer school, that landed me a meritorious promo to Lance Corporal (E-3). Made Corporal time in grade/time in service. During which, I got my degrees. Then made Sergeant. I was trying for Warrant so I could get into EOD. They were Enlisted "heavy" and needed Officers. Just before I could re-up, they closed out my MOS for promo and re-enlistment. So, I had to pack up and head home Left Pa in the other room,. One w scrambled egg feeling like was watching a ping pong game. Now I believe your officially adopted but you two are forbidden near my sheep! Lmao! Okay Ma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuab3687 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Do you have an "I love me" wall? You should w all your accomplishment? Lol! Not yet. When I get my shop built, there's gonna be a "game room" addition on the back of it done in a Marine Corps motife. Besides... I have mirrors! Lmao I'm really not that vain. I have a lot of my awards and uniforms and junk in totes in my attic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtdobies Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 You should have an I love me wall, its a nice thing to let people see. I enjoy seeing peoples pride, that's not vanity honey that pride in what you did for God and Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'm just not much of a display-er. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud. Just more of a humble sort. My father used to always tell me: "Those who did, never say. Those who say, never did." I'm more than happy to talk about my service, when asked. But I'm not the sort to lead off with my record other than to say I'm a USMC veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Besides that, I don't have many people that come over to my place outside of family, and they all know where I've been and what I've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtdobies Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I talk to a lot of the guys mostly around here, or listen, give hugs.etc Its pretty easy to tell the ones that were there. Most Dont want to bring it up, its a private thing and that's okay a lot say what you do. Its the truth. But I had a good man tell me, never hide from who you are. I love seeing the walls but my friends keep them pretty private, but you should have one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuab3687 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Well, hangin out in Checotah, Oklahoma tonight. Got a load going to Franklin, Ohio for monday. I'll be home tomorrow around 10am. First time I've ever gotten home before noon on a friday! Yay me. I'll be takin on another trainee this weekend. He's just outta truck driving school so, it'll be an interesting 5 weeks. Usually only have 2 week trainees that already have plenty of road experience. But the good news is, he's trying to quit smoking by vaping! So, there'll be plenty of time to get him on the vape bandwagon fully! Nico5point0, Mtdobies and Tam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
