DLI

Glad you like the updates! (I'm also glad to see there's at least one other person on the Internet who cares about DLI.) You can sign up for the Alumni Association newsletter at http://www.dli-alumni.org/ (they send out about 1 or 2 letters per quarter, with stories about DLI grads or professors, and once in a while they send out special news like the BRAC hearings). I was in the Arabic course from January 1996 to May 1997, then after Goodfellow I was at 2nd Rad Bn. I'm definitely keeping a close eye on the BRAC hearings because if DLI closes, I'll have no more excuse to drag my wife up to Monterey every couple of years! :) Kafziel 11:26, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ribbon Creek Incident

Fox, I was reading through this article and was completely confused by the "consequences" section[2]. Was the DI court martialed or not? There is also a weird sentence construction that says something about an investigation into training methods but I can't tell if it means that no problesm were found or problems were found. I figured you might know. FuelWagon 20:37, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think I found a reliable URL. I changed the article a bit. Submitted to your review. FuelWagon 21:07, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

M240G

When the heck did the M240G get adopted? FuelWagon 19:57, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that would explain it, I'm working off of older information... ;) FuelWagon 20:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the info.

Appreciate the info. in regards to military rivalries, especially on the topic relating to the "Jarheads" topic. I've had kin in the military, and they've reported about all manner of things, like the rivalries in the different military branches, officers that LOVE to "pull rank". I'm a military brat, due to having kin in the military. One USAF joke about the US Army Paratroopers was that those (to be polite) people are so dumb that they'll jump out of a GOOD airplane. I'm sure you've heard them all, like I have. Martial Law 08:11, 4 November 2005 (UTC) :)[reply]

General Order 9

I had a Boot Camp USMC manual that a former(yeah right, once a Marine, always a Marine) Marine had given me. On the Regulations pertaining to General Order 9, a UFO is illustrated. Another Marine commented that this was the govt.'s way of telling us that we have some visitors on a nightime radio talk show. Is Gen. order 9 intended for this ?Martial Law 03:22, 5 November 2005 (UTC) :)[reply]

Been off helping to nail a glitch. Do you still have your old USMC Boot Manual ? In this thing is what is referred to General order 9, a set of regulations to deal w/ unforseen matters. It,in recent issues, it also has a illustration of a UFO in it, with either a PFC placing a call to HQ, or a platoon of Marines getting into position to deal with a UFO. Is that still circulating ?Martial Law 00:07, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A former(yeah right, once a Marine,always a Marine) Marine had photocopied this from his old USMC Boot Manual, concearning Gen. Order 9, and E-mailed a radio talk show that deals w/ paranormal matters. Semper Fi. Martial Law 00:11, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
