jaxashby the liar:
-nope, never heard of you-
Bilge-Gotcha, you lyin' sack of crap! You claim to have been in the Marines,
and yet claim you've never heard of the 4th? The "China Marines"...the only
Marine regiment to have surrendered (on Corregidor), The one later
reconstituted from the Marine Raiders and ParaMarines?
The regiment that tore it up around Dai Do in 1968, where James Livingston won
the Medal? I had the honor of serving under Lt. Col. Livingston's command as a
recruit in Boot Camp.
You're a total fraud, buster.
If you really had been in the Marines, you would have known that we identify
ourselves by company or battery, battalion, and regiment, in that order.
Had you actually been in Marine Corps Artillery, your regiment would most
likely have been the 10th, 11th,12th or 13th Marines.
Infantry regiments in your era being numbered from the 1st Marines to the
"Walking Dead" 9th Marines.
When deployed, the Corps, for reasons known only to the Commandant and God,(in
that order), will "OpConn" to a 20-series regiment. Thus, while I was in 1st
Bn, 4th Marines, I was simultaneously in the 27th Marines(Regiment) of the 7th
Marine Amphibious Brigade(MAB).
If and when deployed in battalion or reinforced battalion strength, we would
have been known as the 27th Marine Expeditionary Unit,(MEU)
Now, as to Divisions, I was in the 3rd Marine Division. The 4th has been, and
to my knowledge still is the Reserve Division.
This is all stuff you should have known, if you really were who and what you
claim to be.
And in the event that you really were what you claim, why should ANYONE heed
the advice of an artilleryman about small-unit weapons and tactics when there's
an infantryman to hand?
