Man, I wish I had time to smoke on the 11th MEU. Then again, I was on the USS Tarawa....that pig would've probably burnt down. Only thing holding her together was the 10 coats of paint and all the bird s#it. LOL! I will say this much though, I'd rather be here in the dirt than back on that boat. That's just TOO confined. That's more of a groundhogs day than here. Chow is better too. I can't stand even the smell of curry anymore after that float. Take care gents....
