The Gray Ghost

The Gray Ghost

Ref: USMC’s tight budget (Col. J.R. Bates, USMC)

While Corporate America is jetting from one mega deal to the next board meeting, The US Marines have adopted the Corporate Jet into the war on terrorism. Considerably a leaner & meaner model, the Marines have taken a tornado damaged G4 and for a third the cost of the new executive version converted it into a working member of the Corps’ air power. This G4 based in Hawaii has none of the luxurious amenities of its counterparts. Marines have pallets of supplies and gear aboard and communication systems for war fighting. No luxuries, they even bring their own personal water and chow. The pace aboard is 24/7 and would wear out the toughest of Fortune Five Hundred executives. They land in far off climes and exit with helmets, flak jackets, and weapons at the ready. All this capability is at a fraction of the cost of a Corporate G4 model. The Ghost bears little resemblance to the famous civil war colonel John Mosby. read more

Iraqi Recycling

Hello everyone,
Attached is picture of an AK-47 that will be given to the border guards. This is called Iraqi recycling, I will explain.

  1. The Iraqi soldier got it from a rebel terrorist, who was trying to overthrow the government, but was killed.
  2. We kill the enemy Iraqi solider who is using the AK to try and kill us.
  3. We are not allowed to pick up souvenirs or possible bobby trapped weapons, so it is picked up by a local.
  4. The local is killed by a rebel terrorist, who takes the AK.
  5. We kill the rebel terrorist and, this time, take the AK.
  6. We give the AK to the border guards because they have no weapons. That is because they are former military, who lost their weapons per sentence 2.
  7. Rebel terrorists kill the border guard and take the AK.
  8. We kill the rebel terrorist, take the AK and give it to a new border guard.
  9. This cycle continues over and over. The biggest problem is; somewhere in this never ending cycle, American military are being killed by that same weapon.

At least there will always be job security for the military. Hope everyone is having a great day. 1st Sgt T. Mancheste read more

This is a picture of my husband taken just a few days ago in Fallujah. He is with 1/5 h&s co. . Not to long ago he was praying over the bodies of his his fallen comrades. Looks like someone is ready to get back to work and kick some tail!. This is his second time to Iraq. I am praying everyday that they get the job done quickly. He just arrived back to the U.S. a month before we got married and was deployed again only 6 months after we got married. Well this is to everyone who has served or is serving in the Corps. like they say “Once a Marine… Always a Marine.” Thank you for fighting for what you believe in!
