I don't want to break persec on here, so I'm not sure how much I should divulge, but if any current MarSoc Marines could help me find an old friend that would be great. He used to be a Machinegunner in 1/6 C Co. He has "0331" in gigantic letters across his back, so he get's a lot of good natured shit for that, haha.

Disclaimer: I am not not now nor ever was a MarSoc Marines, not trying to claim I was. Just trying to find a friend who is now MarSoc.

Haha, that is true! I was an 0351 myself, so we definitely had some good times together. He was STA Platoon before going to MarSoc as well, if that helps.

Does that mean you had a watch that was also a calculator? :tongue:

We all have your molds, can't break 'em now!

Not even the least bit surprised. Now, being a stereotypical '31, I will celebrate my being right by picking up heavy things, then putting them back down, then picking them back up again...

Haha....I was an 0351 back in the day and I never heard of the calculator watch stereotype. I do admit that it makes sense though.

x2 glad to see the stereotypes are still alive. - Notice no 41's hopped in here because they probably are in the middle of a game of spades.

0351 & Calculator watches? What's up with that? How hard is it to calculate a Dragon time of flight when it's one second per 100 meters? LOL!

I was an 0351 and had about a year in a Dragons Plt as a boot at Lejeune and then several years later being an Assault Section leader for a Weapons Platoon in Hawaii and never noticed any of the guys wearing calculator watches.

Now, 81's platoon playing spades in their pits, almost always!

Pff that was a crazy crew from what I remember. LOL Unless they were selling those watches at the liquor store next to the Jim Beam those maniacs had no interest. :tongue: ;)

Sorry to intrude, ,..back in my Lounge lane....

I'm not sure about the stereotype as I was an 0351 way back when. But if it has anything to do with charge calculation, well, we all know that "P" equals plenty :smile:

Haha, I'm going to be honest, the calculator watch is because I am now a physics major. I never had it while I was in the Corps; and I put it on for that picture =P. I hope I didn't ruin to much fun.

The biggest stereotype for 51's in my battalion was: "Watch out for those mother fuckers, they are never going to pick up rank and they are always drunk."

The first day I was in the fleet I was field daying like a maniac because one of my fellow 51's got drunk, knocked the duty out, than called the former company gunny to call his wife a whore.

Now that's the stereotype I'm familiar with.

Fuck Off! Fun game, though....:biggrin:

Somehow I am suprised you were once a mortar maggot. FYI, spades in mortars goes across branches.

I then got to Oki where a Cpl in the receiving barracks was demanding volunteers for Recon. As soon as I found out they didn't hump mortars, my hand was up....:smile:

Humping 81's is a F'n nightmare, especially when you have a few Marines who fall out and I have to carry their additional weight.
