Hay Marines/Crispies/7051 They are maybe 25,000 of you out there, 25% may have computers so if 6500 of you look here take the time and sign your name, a short note. Some of us are looking for you,catch up on what you have done for the past 30 years,, renew old friend ships. Some have passed on to the eternal gaurd duty. Others are looking for those they served with. Officer or enlisted let us now where and how you are doing

Hi, Brad. We ran into each other on Military.com a few months ago: Click HereGlad you dropped in to visit with us. There are a half-dozen or so (used to be four, but the ranks are increasing) 6461 / 7051's that drop in here regularly to chit-chat. Be sure to make time for the reunion at Quantico on the 13th - 15th of October. I'll buy you a beer. Welcome aboard!

Thanks, Joe. I've been out messin' around, not on this here intynet machine much lately. Lots of camping and stuff to do. I've been planning my trip to and from Quantico... going to visit Jamestown, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Mt. Vernon, Ft. McHenry, Harper's Ferry, Monticello, and do a little camping hither and yon.
Brad, I agree. But as they say, you can lead a horse to water but can't make him drink. I've told 20 or so of my old friends about these boards, but only one has joined, and even then, he hasn't ever posted anything.
Oh, well.

Yeah, not a lot of rent-a-car outlets at Amtrak stations. I'll be coming up in my Big-A$$ Truck with the camper on it. Gas will eat me alive but hey, it's a hobby. Besides, when I get tired I can pull into any truck stop or rest area and nap a couple of hours. I have reservations at the Crossroads for the reunion, but for the rest of my trip I'll sleep in the camper, either in a friend's driveway or campgrounds. That's where most of my planning came in, finding all the campgrounds along my route.

I've got reservations at the Crossroads Inn on base, right next to the Clubs, so I won't be RVing during the reunion itself.
But on the way up there and for a couple days afterwards I'm going to cruise around the area and visit historic sites etc.
