Welcome to Gaia! ::

Currently I have practice from 6am till 4 pm on Marching and Rifle Drill on an air strip for the next week and a half. I'm going to bring my camera down there and try to post some nice pictures of us with rifles and our LBVs on... Military gear... Forgive me if I haven't been around lately, especially since I just got accepted into this guild. I'll be around as soon as I can.

Lates!

Sounds pretty cool, well good luck with that then!

June 2007? What's your MOS going to be? I'm currently stationed in Iwakuni, Japan 1st MAW, MAG 12. If ya got any questions about the Marine life, message me or make a new topic in the thread group.
As for the ceramony pictures, it was extremely long and tiring because we stood around with our rifles for 2 or 3 hours.... Didnt' exactly time it... So here are the pictures.


Myself with an M16A2 wearing my LBV. I have 6 magazines in my pouches, but you can't really see them, me thinks...


Couple of Marines chilling before the ceramony...


Little toy in the background that always flies over us... Loud and annoying, but fun to watch!


Me and a buddy of mine on the right, Yoder.


Nice little formation picture.


My weapon from my point of view.


A separate platoon on the other side of the hanger.


Our sargents making a close interval so that the lower ranks can form up behind them.

Unfortunatly since I was part of the formation, I couldn't take a picture of the band playing and the actual ceramony take place... I'll try to see if I can post some small clips of us marching though... if I can.

I hope these were to everyone's taste. ^_^

I did not realize that the outfit were actually like that. O.o Hm... I'm gonna have to tell my friend. xp That'lll be funny to see his reaction if he doesn't realize that already.

Had no idea. My friend was just complaing about it. xp Which is why I can laugh at him... >.> Or was it another one? Ah oh well... -.- I'll figure it out later.

It is on our Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni history books. As well as on the list of very important things for the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Hagee. So these pictures are just as memorable. And sharing them here is just as good as on the history books because Gaians are also protected by Marines. So I'm just your local Marine that you can chill out with, no matter my rank or whatever.
