Thanks everybody. Ever since I joined WS and I saw this page I wanted it that much more. Now that I have it I couldnt be happier...maybe to have my ESWS but that will come soon :D.

Congrats Burnie. Stay safe and get back home safe and sound.

Yeah Burnie get that one too. You'll be kicking yourself in the butt if you complete the deployment without it. Stay safe and return w/ 10 fingers and 10 toes (unless you left with less then that would be just unexplainable)

Well, I was not looking forward to the Shellback ceremony while I was on the 15th MEU on the USS Peleliu but it turned out to be a good time. It was definitely more than 2 hours though. I felt bad for the senior Marines going through it lol!

Marine Shellback! any of you old men serve on the USS dubuque? I did the sunset cruise in 2010

Didn't serve on her, but been on a few deployment with her back in the 80's. I have a friend who was the Operation Officer on her in the late 90's.

Yea that ship was a dinosaur by the time we went. But she seemed to work fine, we never went dead in the water or anything crazy. Never had to get towed or make a stop just for repairs. Good times
