Don't worry, I have uber awesome amazing ninja skills to draw upon in times of need. The general law of the jungle tends to dictate that those who don't look for too much shit wont generally find too much shit.

wear the wrong hat or scarf walking through Otara and you won't have to look for shit; it will come running at you

Why yes. Yes I do.
History teaches many. SARGE will obviously have a better point of view though.

Whats the top one? something BAY...

Subic

U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay was a major ship-repair, supply, and rest and recreation facility of the United States Navy located in Zambales, Philippines. It was the largest U.S. Navy installation in the Pacific and was the largest overseas military installation of the United States Armed Forces after Clark Air Base in Angeles City was closed in 1991.

Yeah I have heard some stories about what some of the special forces blokes got up to when cleaning up the streets of Beirut.

The Rockers up top are deployments.. the big one is the Unit Patch

The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is one of three Marine Air/Ground Logistics Task Forces which routinely deploys from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to the Mediterranean Sea aboard amphibious ready group shipping. The MEU prepares for deployments by participating in a three-phased pre-deployment training program (PTP). The training program culminates with a certification exercise to validate the MEU’ s operational readiness and special operations capability. During training, the MEU is under the operational control of the II Marine Expeditionary Force Commanding General. When embarked aboard ARG shipping, the fleet commander exercises operational control of the MEU.

The 24th MEU’s Command Element (CE) serves as the Headquarters for command and control of the Ground Combat Element (GCE), Aviation Combat Element (ACE), and MEU Service Support Group (MSSG). The CE also consists of detachments from Radio Battalion, Reconnaissance, Counter Intelligence, Interrogator Translator Team, Topographical and Force Imagery Interpretation Units, as well as standard staff sections.

During the 1960’ s and 1970’ s, the current 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit was activated at various times as the 34th Marine Amphibious Unit and participated in exercises and operations in the north Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas. In 1982, it was redesignated the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit and served twice as part of the multinational peacekeeping force in Lebanon. It continued to make routine deployments to the Mediterranean during the next six years while also providing forces for operations in the Arabian Gulf. (nudge nudge)

The Marine Amphibious Unit was redesignated as a Marine Expeditionary Unit in February 1988. Following Operation Desert Storm, the 24 th MEU was tasked with the humanitarian relief effort, “Operation Provide Comfort,” in support of the Kurdish people in Turkey and Northern Iraq. In 1993, the 24 th MEU took part in Operations “Restore Hope” and “Continue Hope” providing humanitarian aid to many remote areas of Somalia in the form of food, water and medicine. From May to June 1994, it served in support of Operations “Provide Promise” and “Deny Flight” in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Two weeks after returning from that deployment, the 24 th MEU redeployed to the waters off the coast of Haiti where it served during July and August as part of Operation “Support Democracy”.

In June 1995, elements of the 24th MEU launched a daring mission from the Adriatic Sea to rescue Air Force Capt. Scott O’Grady, who had been shot down over Bosnia-Herzegovina six days earlier. In 1996, the MEU served as a contingency force in the Adriatic Sea in support of Operation “Decisive Endeavor.” Near the end of October, units from the MEU assisted U.S. Army and allied engineers with the construction of a bridge across the Drina River in Bosnia. During 1998 the MEU was diverted from its regular deployment schedule to provide a forward presence in the Arabian Gulf as the U.S. Fifth Fleet landing force in support of Operation “Desert Thunder.” In addition to using its aviation assets to enforce the Iraqi no-fly zone – Operation “Southern Watch”.

During November and December 1998, Marines from the 24 th MEU were called upon to provide security for the American embassy in Tirana, Albania. In March, the MEU conducted 34 battlefield air interdiction missions as part of the NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia, attacking with its AV-8B Harriers from the Adriatic Sea. Throughout the air campaign, the MEU was poised in the Aegean and Adriatic Seas to support Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP) missions in support of Operation “Allied Force” had U.S. or NATO aircrews required assistance. While in the Aegean, the MEU also participated in humanitarian assistance efforts in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to assist Kosovar refugees with food, water, shelter and medical aid.

Ever struggled through reading a very long and ultimately pointless thread and wished you could gain that part of your life back?

I see Sarge still thinks he's Rambo/Hulk Hogan/Optimus Prime/Chuck Norris. What have you been out hunting today Sarge? - militant middle easterns or south auckland gangsta kids?

Tough (allegedly) and funny too (back in the 90s when "mom" jokes faded out)


The man can do it all - including you Dean if you're still interested

>>WTF does that badge mean anyway!?!?<<

Point was I used to go to Ologapo City which is a slease pit that 'services' the American Naval Base at Subic Bay. Long story but it was a work stop off. (That's what I told my old man anyway). Lebanon at its worst I can only imagine.

Sarge's current domicile is a 'Garden Suburb' in comparison.

The fuckers haven't given me any grief yet.....I just live over the hill in Whitford but am in Manukau/Manurewa/Mangere etc. all the time. That said, I don't go looking for shit. I am happy for them to nest and ruin their own neighbourhood but if they come looking for trouble in mine...well then it really is all on.

I don't buy that arguement, there is always a choice. It may go against the norm and the grain, but there is always a choice.
