Worst I've ever been was on Southern Comfort. I was a Freshman in college, so 18 or 19. Still to this day, at 52 years old? If I even smell Southern Comfort I get queezy!

Re: 5/6 GT: Sactown Beatdown!
I was 23 in the Marine Corps, got hammered on various drinks and barfed in my sleep. Scared the hell out of me that I almost pulled a Bon Scott and that's the last time I was ever legally drunk.Michael K. wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 3:22 pmWorst I've ever been was on Southern Comfort.

I did that my first weekend in Okinawa. Went out and got plastered and woke up with a pile of puke on my pillow. I decided after that not to drink while I was there, which ended up being a year and a half.DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 4:51 pmI was 23 in the Marine Corps, got hammered on various drinks and barfed in my sleep.

Raleigh is the Varitek they didn’t let get away, in one of the worst trades in baseball history.
And to add insult to injury, Lou threw in Lowe, he hated young pitchers.

I stopped in Okinawa on a WestPac deployment...for a few hours, and then off we went.GL_Storm wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 6:35 pmI did that my first weekend in Okinawa.

I know you weren't asking me but I was with 7th Comm Bn for about a month and then III MEF HQ for about 2 1/2 years from 2002-2005GL_Storm wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 10:40 pmWhat unit were you with?DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 7:36 pmI stopped in Okinawa on a WestPac deployment...for a few hours, and then off we went.![]()

I was with 9th Marines from 1990-1991. 7th Comm was just up the street from us at Camp Hanson. After Okinawa I went to El Toro with MWCS-38 and stayed there until I separated in 1993.tehmc wrote: ↑Thu May 08, 2025 3:38 amI know you weren't asking me but I was with 7th Comm Bn for about a month and then III MEF HQ for about 2 1/2 years from 2002-2005GL_Storm wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 10:40 pmWhat unit were you with?DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 7:36 pm

I was pretty glad to get out at the time, but I've felt the last few years (with 20/20 hindsight) that I would have been better off reenlisting. But you don't understand your own strengths and weaknesses at that age, or at least I didn't.

Ever take a shot of Bacardi 151? Didn't get sick but thought I was going to internally combust.Michael K. wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 3:22 pmWorst I've ever been was on Southern Comfort.
