I mean DANG IT DUDE we all worked together to insure that the "FRONT LINE" had the material needed. FSSG and DIV are unified when it comes to field work. We both pounded the ground (at least I did with DIV) and we ate, breathed, washed (when we could), and we even took care of the USMC as if they were our brothers, we did this together and you say "DIV is a whole different beast.. no comparison. I would call a shore duty HM that was mapped out with DIV an FMF'er way before I called someone greenside with FSSG one." WOW dude, and you call yourself a fellow HM....feels more like a slap in the face to me.
Like I said above, I AM PROUD, I SERVED, I VOLUNTEERED to FIGHT and TRAVEL. I took care of the sick and injured during war time, I ran out under the cover of fire to retrieve wounded. I was injured, and I recieved the BRONZE STAR for my action, and you say that since I was FSSG, I am not a (FMF)....WOW, you have some BIG (well not to be nasty I left this out but read between the lines)....
ThomasP, I feel your pain.....I went 1stCIVDIV after 10 years....and it was spoken of in 1992, it is now 2008 and still NOTHING for HM's.....

I never said you are not FMF, FSSG, DIV, MAW are all part of one team, without one the other cannot function, My point was there is a difference with someone in TQ Iraq going to salsa night every friday but is stationed greenside to a brand new shore duty HN who gets mapped out and is now dodging bullets to get to his Marine after an IED blast. They didn't make a movie about John Bradley for him beng in MEDLOG right? just because he is shore duty doesnt make him not FMF....especially if he gets augmented...just like im tired of my "higher ups" throwing in my face how many times they deployed to Bagram and TQ..then I ask them how many people did they have to kill...they just give me this dumb im sick for asking PTSD look..FSSG have deployments while Division usually have combat deployments....FSSG goes on convoys and tries to avoid contact and make it to the next place...Division is out for contact....but yes i never said you were not FMF
woosahh! I am a Bronzestar and purple heart recipient also so I will say thank you for your service.
