My Houtch

Sergeant Grit,

I am an old Nam Vet myself. I retired after 30 years as a Master Sergeant. I have purchased so many items from you over the past few years. My wife is used to seeing a package about twice a week from you. I have attached just a few of the flicks of my Houtch and my front Hatch. I know you will appreciate my taste in decorating my quarters. The flicks are a little fuzzy as my hands aren't as steady as they used to be when I shot Expert with the M14. One flick is my Rack another shows flicks of General Amos and SMMC Barrett. These were autographed along with their challenge coins. The other shows the large metal Emblem and Chevrons that you provided. The last one shows Gunnery Sergeant Ermey shouting out orders for PT. All your gear has made this old Marine Happy. read more

1st Radio Battalion Reunion

Hey Sgt Grit,

We had our 2013 USMC 1st Radio Battalion Reunion in Jacksonville, Florida, this past May… the economy stifled a bunch of our West Coast and Midwestern guys from joining us, but we gained a few more East Coasters, and a great time was had by all… former Sgt Lee Ahr and Linda Reinhart once again led the group by organizing this annual get-together, and their plans were excellent again. read more

Teufel Hunden

I started this design in early 2011, and had it completed in 2012. I had the devil dog part outlined, takig about 5 hours to complete. When healed, I had the EGA part added to the DD. Then in early 2012 I had the stripes of the flag and the letters of the U.S.A. I have many others, this is the first one I had put on the site due to the constant prompts from my son. Sure they are not real comfortable to have put on, especially in certain areas of the chest, back, or other sensitive areas, But in the MARINE CORPS, pain is just an after thought. It only hurts if you allow it to hurt. HARD CORPS to all our warriors – tattooed , or not. Semper Fi Sgt Mac USMC read more
