    Simper Fi to the Color Sgt of the Marine Corp. I was there in 84 85 in the your place. 🇺🇸 the office where you hold the Colors and Ring Staff used to be my room for 2 years, and your office was another room. In the Hallway I was there when we painted that pic of the Color team. I remember always volunteering for details, and I kept myself busy. That was a special honor to be there. My Color Sgt. Was Sgt Caputo.
    Once again Semper Fi from this Corpral of Marines

    I was involved in Battalion Color Gaurd at 7th ESB in the late 90's for a retirement ceremony. We practiced for a week, then the day of the ceremony the Battalion insisted that I mount the battle colors. Oh boy is that heavy. But making the retirement ceremony something the marine and his family will remember forever was important. Total bearing discipline.

The total weight of the metal pole the Rings EGA Flag and Streamers was around 30 lbs. I carried that in a Parade in Virginia 5 miles. In a lightning 🌩 storm. Well I'm still her and the ring staff is still being watched 24/7 by the Marine Corps Color Guard

    @Triad_Inversion Před 5 lety +1

    "We can't live in the past, but the past lives through us". Such a beautiful saying I've been struggling lately on whether to join the Navy or Marines. The Navy has more of what I'm interested in which is aviation, but the principals, characteristics and pride of the Marines makes it hard to choose. My main concern with the Marines is that I'll be assigned to role that I don't want and pretty much be stuck in that field. Plus to be honest they're showing mainly the positives and not all the hard work and conflicts that goes on outside of basic training. Regardless, much respect to the Marines.

      phillip wells: Phil honey, if you have to think so much about whether you ‘want’ to enlist in the Marine Corps or Navy , forget about that. You couldn’t measure up to be a Marine. Marine Corps comes from your heart, not pondering and wishy- washy thinking about which was worthy of your help. That’s just stupid kid. You’d never make it! Try the Girl Scouts.

      Negative friend. The Surgeon General is (usually) a Vice Admiral who commands all of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. Additionally they act as the medical advisor to the Chief of Naval Operations.
      The Medical Officer of the Marine Corps is a Flag Officer, usually a Rear Admiral, who is assigned to advise the Commandant of the Marine Corps of all medical matters. The MOMC is there to bring the concerns of the MEF Surgeons (I, II, III, and IV; all Navy Captains) to the Commandant.
      Source: I am an FMF Corpsman, I have had an MOMC tour and inspect my BAS, and I know what the fuck I am talking about.
