During Desert Storm we were still using M-60 tanks while the Army had M-1's.

During Desert Storm Marine avionic techs came and installed upgraded threat detection on our UH-60s

Cpl Goodwin, that’s correct. Both 1st and 3rd Tank Bn had these while I was out there in that Big sand pit. Semper Fidelis Marine!

I have always felt a bit bad for my jarhead brothers because they had to use what we found obsolete or we replaced with new stuff, and they had to work with it. That changed some over the years and is not near as bad as it once was, and they even used (in come case like in Cold Weather Training in Bridgeport) civilian sources to outfit some units, so that they would have the best out there. Some commander took care of his Marines there for sure. Glad to see the changes but they surely could do more to outfit them.

Some people - mind you some friends including Marine friends - believe Marines are some of the biggest scroungers and thieves on the batttlefield - and they need to be so because they travel so light that no one issues them what they really need to accomplish many secondary missions. They are also rumored to be able to sleep anywhere on a moment's notice. If you show up on their doorstep in the middle of the night with a problem they will grab whatever it takes to bury the problem asap - no questions asked. Warmest Regards & Semper Fi, Sandy :)

That is far from a rumor, I've personally have slept and seen fellow Marines sleep on concrete because we don't know the next opportunity we will get to get sleep.
