Capt M was the best, funny, but a good Marine too, now I am not jacking this thread, I will leave a story when I am done. When I got sent home, everyone on the staff was shocked including 1slt M (now Capt) apparently the Navy Commander went strait to the Cl. and told him that I needed to be fixed at home, the short of it, CApt M looks at me and asks how did I do??? I was shocked and honored at the same time. Here is a man who just got back from Iraq, first Plt Co since like 'Nam to call a bayonet charge and he wants my opinion. Of cource I told him that he was locked on, not those words. And than to make it better. He shakes my hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 ANd tells me that if I am not back in a year that he would be pissed. MAde my day, softened the blow of going home. Fast foward a year, Last week at Grad. I see him, he looks right at me and says "...you, when you coming back?!!!" Freakin' awesome, who ever has him or had him is lucky.
Now for a funny, so we are doing the night imc and Capt M asks for all of his billet holders to step fpward, he then picks me and two other candidates and leads us through the imc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was laughing the whole time!!!!!!!!!!!!! He then leads us over the log wall past the fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The satff started yelling at him unitl they realised who he was, and the best part, he was carying a stick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He use to lead us durring the run cource and yell "... give me more candidates, some a@@ is traing to kill you..." Good freakin' Marine I hope I get him again. Sorry for the long post.
