I thought Coast Guardsmen had to be good at all that?

Guess I should have quoted who I was responding to, because apparently two or three (or more) posts happened in between the post I was responding to and my own. That was a couple months ago and I really don't remember, but I think I was responding to Bama and his misspelling. My best guess is that I was saying a Coast Guardsmen needs to be able to spell better but I can't tell you why I said it. Must have been something I was thinking of at the time. In hindsight, it makes no sense at all. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hey Des, you mentioned the Coast Guard becaise I had stated in my very first post on this board that I was interested in joining the Coast Guard, and you were one of the few people who acknowledged me initially and acknowledged my intentions.

Well, I'm glad I haven't completely lost my mind.

Ive always thought WWII was the most facinating to me, when it comes to reading. I mainly focus on reading about Marine Corps History when it comes to reading history on that topic. Semper Fi.
