Hello from Cherry Point, NC

As your newest member I am looking forward to chatting with some wonderful individuals on many topics. A bit of background on "who I am". Born and raised in the State of Maine I enlisted into the U.S. Marine Corps upon graduation from High School. I found a home, heck they clothed me, fed me and sent me to some really weird places, all free! After a couple of decades running around the world the wife thought it best we finally settle down. Back to Maine "from Sunny California', what in God's name am I doing? Once in Maine I saw an ad in the local paper for the hiring of some new police officers? Why not, another free uniform! There I proudly served twenty years as a road officer/K9 handler. Retired a couple of years ago and settled into "farm" life. Well that got old fast and I was not enjoying the cold as I once did when much younger. With the use of the internet I found a beautiful home located not far from Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, NC. Wife and I decided it was time to sell the farm and move on. I so much looked forward toe returning to our Marine Corps. Move completed August 15, 2012. The wife and I very much enjoy metal detecting and can be found at the ocean several times weekly. I guess I have run my gums long enough. My many thanks and blessings.

Welcome aboard and thank you for your service.

Howdy and nice to meet you.

North Carolina? I sense an opportunity.

My daughter will be coming to your house to do laundry on the weekends as she will be entering college this fall as a college freshman (Wake Forest). Please also slip her a $20.00 bill when she leaves, we all know that college kids need money! Oh, and if your wife could bake her some cookies from time to time I'm sure that would be appreciated too.

I'am not sure if a single $20.00 bill will be of any use to her. I am thinking it would need to be much bigger then that! LOL. Sounds like one super proud dad. Best wishes.

Well I will send her with her own laundry soap, if that helps!

Welcome to FF Larry. This is a very different forum, but we all seem to like it, in some fashion. We keep coming back.

Welcome to the Forum Larry!

Glad you found us!

Welcome!

Hello Larry from Franklin, NC!

Welcome Larry. I think that I'm just about the only female here except for luvs. Somebodys got to keep these guys in line. Seriously, we do have a lot of fun here. Looking forward to more posts from you. This is one wacky group including me.

Seems to me that you served Sailor. Me? I'm a retired government employee sucking up all of that cash.

Guess I should have said military retiree, but I thought that was implicit. But you're probably right - it's best to spell these
things out, using small words, when dealing with a retired Marine.

Welcome to the nut house Larry. If you're a liberal willing to take a beating, there's a steak dinner in it from Doc. Right now there are no liberals willing to come forward and debate the left's viewpoint, so here's your chance for 10 or 20 seconds of fame.

Welcome Larry. Stick around and post often.

Welcome to the forum!

Good ole Cherry Point. I was stationed there for a bit ('82-83) but got moved from working on EA6B's over to UH1/AH1's and therefore spent most of my time at New River.

Thanks for your service!
