Two enlistments 1980-1988, MOS 6534 Aviation Ordinance, VMFAT-101 (F-4J and S models), VMAT-102 (A-4) VMA 211(A-4) and VMA 214 (A-4), so yes I am a "Blacksheep" and had the pleasure of meeting Pappy Boyington. Had the M-16 in boot camp and the old .45, got out before the transition to 9mm or the newere M-16. Humped a M60 more than once which sucked. I am a rookie collector, 16 M-1 Garands, 1 1903 Springfiled, 2 1903A3's, 2 Inland M-1 Carbines, 1 1917 and an AR-15 Carbine along with a couple of .45's and a few wheel guns.
