Marines have literally no one quitting. We love the changes; if you listened closely many of the directives are in line with our culture of ruthless adherence to standards, discipline, and very high physical standards. Make the joint force great again!

Played Tuesday, course is in good shape. Greens rolled well. Playing again tomorrow. Love the 6-6-6 layout.

It means that you can no longer access security matter are areas associated with that clearance level. If you work in a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) , it means you can’t go to work. It can literally put you out of work if your job is security related.

I work in a SCIF in the basement of the Pentagon. Losing my clearance would equate to dismissal.

Many retirees retain a security clearance that allows them access to classified material, which in turn informs their assessment and narrative (think security pundits on MSM network). A retiree who loses their clearance is far less valuable as a pundit or informant. It can neuter them professionally.

Called Renovations Hardware, they no longer rent boats. Boatsetter had one, 18ft w/ 90hp that looked like a sea ark, not exactly what I am looking for. None found in getmyboat.

I grew up fishing on the Island, had a boat when we lived closer. We now live in Quantico VA and try to get back at least one week a year.

We’ve settled for two days of in-shore charter (Reel Screamers) and will surf fish. On that note, any recs for surf fishing setup?
Second question, IIRC, crabs don’t begin running thick till late Aug/Sept, is that right? Is it worth trying to crab in the surf next week?

When I was a teenager (early 80s) we’d pull a seine between jetties on the beach and catch dozens of crabs. Daddy’s Money at night. The good ole days.

Marines (T10) haven’t the domestic authority to detain illegals at the gate. Plenty illegals attempt to enter, but are denied access and sent away. With ICE present, illegals will be detained and arrested. Similarly, Navy ships in the Gulf of America (and elsewhere ) include Coast Guard dets (DHS) as Coasties have arrest authority.

Amen Jax. The hike from beach to top of Suribachi isn’t for the weak. Been there twice. Also, cave networks were a marvel of engineering.

This is the way

…and RCT2 building tent city in GTMO!

Yes, I’m done. They doubled down.

“Over the last month, Costco has emerged from the war on DEI as somewhat of a hero. They chose early and definitively to keep their DEI efforts alive. Fans of their actions rejoiced. And yesterday, 19 states AGs collectively sent them a letter warning them to stop their efforts.”
