And you taking over a photo's thread to flirt have the nerve to say I'm writing a diary when I'm on-topic in thread about dating and relationships?

Weird. :rolleyes:

Wait till you see me. The cops confiscated all my sleeves because Im not old enough to carry concealed guns.

"Do you have tickets?"

"To what?"

"The gun show!" *pulls up right sleeve and flexes.

I think between me, Dun, Os, and my boy Wolf, anybody who came after you would be severely f***ed.

Nov 23, 2004, 09:03 am

bugs,

Osborn is a sailor. That kind of throws the tough guy thing out the window.

PatrickHenry · Nov 23, 2004, 10:25 am

Sailors aren't tough? USN provides SEALs does it not?

Mia · Nov 23, 2004, 12:14 pm

That was a strange remark. I dated a man in the navy and he was quite strong and tough.

Osborn F Enready · Nov 23, 2004, 12:51 pm

Wow, thanks for the compliments all.

I am only a bad ass when required, and am quite skilled in both stand up fighting, ground fighting, submission, bladed weapons and guns.

Stone, nice remark that I refuse to take personal, since you must have been a jarhead? LOL

Nothing personal here fellow Marines, I just couldn't help but pick up on the rivalry I think he is referring to.

I've been scuffed by some marines, and they too have taken home some scuffs from me. There is a bar in Rhode Island that will never allow another grunt in there I think, after the mess the squids and the jarheads made just in crushed tables and broken furniture. Captains Mass is so quaint! By the way, I was planning on trying the S.E.A.L.s but my marriage and dedication to the job got in the way. I can't work for a government I no longer endorse the actions of, especially if I am a tool of their master plan.

Truly though, I am a really nice guy, and don't lose my temper unless provoked extensively. I was a power-lifter(clean), though I only lift occasionally now since being laid-off, the gym doesn't like me enough to keep me there free... 8)

Thanks again for the kind words, and I am always available for protection, have a commercial limo license, and a CCW permit on the way. I am experienced in Defensive, and Offensive driving, and am ready for some good work again.

If you really insist that was "flirting". But let's be honest, you had been making multiple threads about yourself on the same subject, a few times you'd given full personal information about a person which I knew you'd eventually want to withdraw and you did.

Nov 23, 2004, 04:58 pm

Osborn,

Yeah, that was tongue in cheek. Two of my best pals were corpsman. Stupid sailors! LOL I have not beaten a squid since we were training to process civilians on ship. We staged a riot and I managed to bust one of the sailors out of the crowd that jumped me. Ah, the good old days. Long hours, no pay, and plenty of verbal abuse.

I hope things look up for you in the job market.

I asked for names to be deleted one time, when I (stupidly) believed that their actions against me would cease.

After that, I re-posted their names and never asked for removal.

The key in what you said is 'started my own thread'

I can start a thread on any topic I want, and no one has to read or respond.

I'm not taking over other's, and there's no reason for so much interference from you in my own.

Heh, I bet you wouldnt say that to my best Wolf's grand pa, he was a sailor, and his arms were nearly as big around as my legs when he Os' my age. Am I'm pretty stout. By the way, he was tempremental.

Osborn F Enready · Nov 24, 2004, 02:08 pm

Hey Stone, one of the things I loved about my duty station on the U.S.S. Saginaw LST 1188, was that it was a gator freighter. It was basically a big flat bottom boat, with a hull that opened in the rear to launch Marine amphibs out of, or the front of the hull could land on the beach, and drop a huge ramp for them to drive out the front (tanks,jeeps,etc.) All of the vehicles, and carrying ability was for Marines, and it was basically a big Marine landing craft driven, operated and controlled by Navy folks. You want to talk about branch rivalries, try living with a bunch of jarheads and squids on floating sardine can for months on end! I think the funniest thing was, mess deck squabbles, friendly competititons and the overall non-stop camaraderie.

I respect (Jarheads, Bullet-Stoppers, Grunt Sailors) Marines, but the rivalry never dies. Just check out the Virginia Beach bar scene off base! I always got hours of enjoyment from listening to salty old sailors, or old devil dogs rehashing their war stories and memories of yesteryear. The most honorable and respected miltary person I ever met in the flesh, was a 1st Class Petty Officer I knew from the Little Creek Amphib base. The thing that led me to talk to him in the first place, was I saw him in his dress whites, and this guy had medals, pins, and hash marks from his cuffs to his collar practically. This guy must have been in forever and a day, and he was still a 1st Class Enlisted rank. After broaching the topic of the hash marks, and his rank, he told me "Fuck becoming a fucking officer. Fucking officers don't know fuck. Everytime they bitch at me about motivation to become a fucking officer, I go fuck up and get in a fight, and they tell me I can't become a fucking officer, so fuck 'em. If they can't take the hint, Fuck 'em!" This guy had seen the planet by Navy ship, and had a tattoo or embroidered section in his uniform sleeve from every place he had been. When you rolled up the sleeves of his uniform, he had some awesome internal silk liner, with embroidered dragons from the Phillipines I think he said. Truly a pinnacle example of the mastery of "sailor talk", old salt, and war stories that would just blow your mind. The best thing was, he was as honest as they come, and if you didn't like what he had to say, you better watch it, cause he would defend every word! Quite a character, and a classic example of a kick ass, take names sailor. He really helped me get through some tough times in Little Creek, a hell of a guy.

I will always share a bond with my brothers in arms.

Nov 24, 2004, 05:01 pm

Osborn,

Yeah, outsiders do not understand. Heck, I used to beat on my younger brother because he was my younger brother. Same thing with the military.

I was on ship for a six-month float. It was a blast. Good ports, cool training (Thai Marine obstacle course, month in Kuwait, etc.), and a bunch of nasty sailors. Our gunny was a crusty, Dan Daly kind of person. He could not stand our corpsman. Doc Eddie was a real nasty pirate. He was pretty much the opposite of our lean and mean battery.

We were constantly closing the hatch to the berthing area and having brawls.

If it came down to a sailor fighting civilians or another branch, I would have thrown in with the sailor.

I had several good examples to emulate. Hell, one of my last roommates thought I was going to kill him. He told me, after we started hanging out, that he slept with a knife under his pillow for the first two weeks. LOL

Osborn F Enready · Nov 25, 2004, 11:31 am

LOL Stone.

Gotta love the common bond.

A secret society for the blue collar boys. 8)

Nov 25, 2004, 12:43 pm

Pretty much. Stupid civilians. LOL

I am busting a gut to this day over that stuff. Hell, I am about as calm and laid back in real life as you can get. I just turned it on to keep everyone's morale up and to scare the new guys in the unit. My guys nicknamed me 'Iceman.' Great times.

OberonDOtherseid · Dec 16, 2004, 10:51 pm

Did it ever occur to you two that maybe they were laughing at you and not with you?

Just askin' LOL!!!

Ah yes, access denied. I actually tried out the links right after I put them up and found out they wouldn't work, so I just figured anyone who was actually interested in seeing them could just copy and paste the url's. But that's just because I'm a horribly lazy individual who hasn't had time to figure out the correct way to post pictures here yet...
