What is the white smoke on the 5th picture?

OOH RAH!

Kicknbass,

The show was a simulation of a "typical" assault on a Viet Cong encampment. The white smoke came from an explosion when the copters fired on the little hut you can see on the ground in the middle of the smoke. The show was awesome to see! The explosions set off car alarms all over the airport parking lot.

tippet7,

Are you active duty or retired? My son is a devil dog. Presently, he's stationed in Quantico, VA with HMX-1. He's in Memphis for tomorrow's visit by President Bush and the Japanese Prime Minister.

Neither. I did several years and got out. Regretted almost every minute of leaving the Corps.

HMX-1? What an honor for your son. You should be very proud of him. Give him a Semper Fi from all of us.

By the way are you on Texoma?

I was stationed in Norman for 3 years on recruiting duty from 1988-1991. I fished Texoma a few times. Never had much luck, although I know there are some very nice fish there.

tippet7,

I live near Ada, which is less than an hours drive from Texoma. I fish it fairly often, usually with pretty good success on striped bass, white bass (sand bass in these parts), and catfish. In fact, I'm headed there after work today. I plan to fish this evening and tomorrow morning with my brother and a nephew. They were there this morning and limited out throwing topwaters to surfacing three to six pound stripers and smaller white bass. Can't wait to get there!

I'll pass along the "Semper Fi" to my son. He's been a Marine for just over a year. He completed his basic training, combat training, and job school last July and went directly to Quantico. He gets to come home Monday on a 15 day leave. I can't wait to hug him, tell him how much I love him (even if he is a Marine), how proud I am of him, and go fishing with him.

Please tell him thank you for his serving this country!
