Thanx for all of the comments on the pics, it was a great vacation and a greatly needed vacation. My first since before I retired in 05. Who did you train with and where in Japan? We were there in Okinawa for 6 years and knew a lot of the different masters around the island. We started in Karate under Sensei's Daniels, Nita, and Fusu Kiesay but then 911 happened and they locked down the base until Jan 02.
the ex in "ex" reminders me i am no longer a marine. i don't want to lie to my self' that im still active duty. lot of guys have killed them self after discharged. i want to acknowledge my past but not live with the value of the corps. its true once a marine always a marine. but marines or scholars of war i a peaceful person now. thats not all i am if i was a marine in my eyes i can become more and being out of the system away from the government and all the rules, roles and responsibility is a gift. we where thought that civils where nasty and did not have a cause and received speeches for officers saying you can rest your head know in you have made a difference in this world" the physiological mind set is never get out stay in. get hot and your weak. so im not weak or care i made a difference i stand alone with my friends and family and i can make a difference with out being a marine.
