Here is an old photo I found from my time with 1st Tank Battalion, Charlie Company – Headquarters Platoon.  I worked as a Radio Operator and on the left is my boss Corporal Eric Royal and on the right is Corporal Dean Werkheiser.  I haven’t run into any of them since I left 1st Tank Battalion back in 1999 but I did come across Eric Royal, who is still serving the Corps, while surfing around on the web. 

I know this photo is old and I didn’t get to update or post anything for Friday, Saturday or Sunday but I had this stomach bug that had me in bed most of the weekend.  I hope you all understand.

Thanks for reading!

Semper Fidelis,

An old photo that I found of my unit when I was stationed in Twentynine Palms, CA.  This is a photo of Charlie Company, 1st Tank Battalion.  We were the tip of the spear for our Battalion back then.

This is an old photo of myself that was taken on my first field operation while in the Marine Corps.  My job was a Field Radio Operator and I was attached to 1st Tank Battalion, H&S Company, Communications Platoon.  I was in Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California.  My first mission was to create a Re-Transmit Site on the top of an observation point.  It was an easy task and we managed to survive the whole mission without getting killed so that was good.

Anyone have any photos to share of themselves when they were in the military please do.  I would love to see them.
