    FORMER U.S. MARINES and the M! GARAND

    See alot of forum members signing off "Semper Fi".
    Just curious as to how many former Marines are members of this forum. I know Dick Culvericon was a Marine. To keep this post M1icon Garand related, how many of you were issued the U.S. Rifle Cal .30 M1 in boot camp. Funny, when I got discharged from the Marines I didn't think I would ever want to see an M1 again, now look what happened, I can't get enough of them. Semper Fi, Joe

    Vietnam type here, in from '66-'69, 16 months in beautiful downtown ChuLai airbase. M-14 in boot, Garand in ITR, long electronics school, Garand at Pendleton for more training, M-14 in Nam, turned it in for the Matty Mattel rifle. Own 3 HRA Garands, 1 Standard Products Carbine, 1 SA '03, 1 Remington 'A3, 1 Remington 1917, and a M1Aicon. D@mn it sucks getting old.

    Jeff, give me a bit of credit for not saying "EX", that would have really got me flamed. Semper Fi, Joe
