Gint became a Marine in 1965, served in Vietnam 1966/67 and was honorably discharged in 1968.

I read with interest the item entitled “What Irritates Me” in the latest news letter (21 July) because I am in the same category. I am a marine who arrived at the Marine Corps recruit depot in Parris Island, S C in April of 1961. Upon release from my six months (179 days) of active duty, I was assigned to a 105 artillery battalion in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and we fired our guns until I completed my enlistment, being honorably discharged in January of 1967.

- My SgtMaj
- I wish I had a picture to send you. The last SgtMaj that I had before I got out in 2009, is SgtMaj William "Wild Bill" Skiles, a Bronze Star recipient for his actions in Iraq, and also famous for all he has done working with the snipers and shooting teams on MCB Quantico. I will always remember his little blue Honda Civic sitting in front of the Bn H.Q. with Virginia tags that read "WARHAMMER"! It was hilarious to me that such a tough name could be put on …

- Newsletter input

Sgt Grit, I enjoy reading the newsletter and get my motto gear at Grunt.com. I think I’ve finally trained my family (I have 10 brothers/sisters) on what I want for Christmas each year. “GRIT CERTIFICATES”! $50 here, $50 there, they start to add up! I have one item that I hope you or your readers can help with. I have a license plate frame that I bought in 2005 at P.I. I cannot find a replacement. I want Sgt Grit to carry it. You can read the wording on the …
