- Him: Remember our first time out the wire?
- Me: Yeah.
- Him: Remember what Copper told you?
- Me: "Your first time out? Don't fuck up. Don't ruin my day."
- Him: And did you?
- Me: I don't know.
- Him: Well lemme tell you what he told me, "That new guy has balls."
- Me: That's bullshit.
- Him: Hey, if you can dash to the next cover without getting hit halfway, you're lucky. You run 70 yards and fire behind a pebble you got balls.
- Me: Copper burned me after that.
- Him: That's because you ran left. He told you to run right.
- Me: Yeah I fucked up on that one.
- Him: That don't matter. You ran nonetheless. And you surprised Copper.
- Me: If that's surprised I wouldn't want to see him pissed.
- Him: Were you scared when you went over?
- Me: Scared? I was fucking terrified!
- Him: But you did it still. Copper didn't think you could do it. And neither did you. But you surprised a lot of us for a newbie, and that's good.
- Me: I just closed my eyes and just ran.
- Him: Then do that too Miggy. Close your eyes, take a leap of faith. You'd be surprised how much you can do if you man up and just do it. Get help Miggy. Get over yourself. You got over the worst day in any Marine's career, and you made it back alive. You can do anything man. Believe it or not you can even get healed. Just close your eyes and take that leap.

Thanks Chase
for standing up to my dad.
“Yes sir, your son is gay. But you know what, he’s become a better man than you will ever be. He fought and served and never thought twice about it. and here you are calling him an embarrassment. Well the truth is sir I’m proud of him. And what’s more, I love him. Yes sir, I’m gay too. If you can’t accept that then Miggy doesn’t need you either. He deserves better.”

I will remember you. Will you remember me...
…Ken Huggins?
I miss you man. You should’ve stayed a little longer. You would’ve been happy to see the day.
It still hurts remembering reading your last post. Knowing I was late, hoping I could still do something. Hating myself that it wasn’t enough. Still hoping that you’d be alright, and breaking down when I saw you were gone.
No I don’t hate you for leaving so soon. I never hate the people I love. I hate myself for not reading the signs. I never thought you were hurting that much. I never thought you were dying inside.
I miss you Ken. We never talked much, but your smile and laugh stuck with me. You would’ve done a lot more. You would’ve made the world a better place.
I know you’re happy where you are now, bathing in the sun, surrounded by angels. I don’t really believe in God, but I hope He’s there with you too.
I’ll see you soon man. I’m still in hell and fighting my own demons… and others. I still don’t understand what made you do it, although I’ve understood what drove you to it.
Rest in peace Airman. This Marine still misses you.

So I talked to JAG
And thanks to some technical assistance and tips from friends I’ve finally narrowed down the person who hijacked my ‘chroniclesofamarine’ url.
Apparently the poser is somewhere in the El Segundo/Hawthorne area of California. I’ll be contacting the ISP this week and hopefully they’ll be able to help me sort out the tekkie shit and give me a name and address. If not, JAG said they could help deal with the formalities for me.
Bottom line, I have a case for damages. Sleepless nights, besmirched reputation, and a whole shitload of legal BS that basically means this: you fucked me bad, and now I’m going to fuck you six ways to Sunday.
But yeah, I actually have an idea of who this person is. Judging by their writing style and they way they bitch about shit, I can count two (2) candidates. One’s a woman, and the other’s a guy. But my money is on the guy.
Like I said before: I’m not going to curse you or hope your children are born with manginas. I’m just going to go after you. And I’m not going to come over there banging on your door like some deranged vet (much as I’m tempted to). Instead you’ll probably get a simple call or a summons (I think that’s what they call it).
Payback is a bitch. Stand the fuck by.
