I hope some of yall remember me!

[Raised_Dead85]

Hello long time since ive been on a forum not to mention fly LOMAC!!!

Im glad to be back and want to be part of this great community and LOMAC experience. I just transfered from the old LOMAC forum to this one. My user name was just originally Raised_Dead but i had to change it and add 85 which means what year i was born.

 

 

Anyways i want to introduce my self to all of you that dont know me or did but forgot. I was born in Russia and was sadly put into orphanage because of the family problems. I was adopted by loving American parents and was brought here to US (Texas) at the age of 9 with my brother and his age was 10. I graduate high school and joined the US Marines currently deploy in iraq at camp Taqqadum for my second deployment. Since i joined the Marines it was hard for me to fly or come to the forums that much. My time is almost up in the Marines... i should have about 1 year and some months left when i come back from Iraq. Im not really doing anything special in the Marines. Im just a supply warehousemen clerk its pretty boring and its not what i asked for when i joined... pretty much suckered me in.

 

Theres always a person that is affected later on in life and wants to go and see his or her heritage and origin. I am greetly affected and day by day i want to go back to my country and do my duty but im already a US citizen and from what i hear i cant go back because Russian goverment wont take me back i can only visit. It saddens my heart knowing that.

People in life seek and usually find out quick what they are good at and what there interests are, well mine is to join Russian military and serve my time preferably flying Russian fighters or bombers. But right now i can only wait and see what happenes after my time is over in the Marines.

 

Ive already ordered my tracker IR 4 pro and the pro clip for my head set. My parents sending me my joystick so i can start learning and fly alot. Instead of just ready the pdf file i ordered the nice fancy binder manual. I love it. Im hoping to come back from Iraq as a pro or close to it so i can come online and take some of you out of the sky. I did play it for a while but i dint really have good hardware to support the game and always crashed.

 

LOMAC is the most detailed flight sim i ever bought. I give the honor and most respect to developers for there time to come of such outstanding product unlike every one else that make arcade sims. I hope to fly with yall soon. If you got any questions feel free to ask i will answer any!

[Raised_Dead85]

[hitman]

Wassup Marine...yeah I remember you from the old days. How was Iraq?

[Raised_Dead85]

lol hitman well there alot more rules ... stupid rules around the base unlike last year. Other than that its just a messy and smelly sand box with extreme heat of 140 F everyday :)

[S77th-konkussion]

Man ... Bahrain weather was a bi*#h. I don't miss that. (USS LaSALLE 1992-94)

[Raised_Dead85]

Wheres Bahrain? Oh i forgot to mention theres a ton of flyies flying around bothering you every turn. I almost swallowed one day... kinda almost puked too!

[S77th-konkussion]

Bahrain is a tiny island in the Gulf.

[suntrace1]

What kind of marine are you, if you can't eat one little fly ?! :/

[Raised_Dead85]

Suntrace lol nice.... well i am in supply so it might say a little!

[Raised_Dead85]

I dont need to eat a fly to prove to you im a bad ass. I am one and i know it!

[hitman]

I ate a live lizard for 20 bucks back at the motor pool one day. Best damn beer I had afterwards too. :thumbup:

[Pilotasso]

I double dare ya to eat a live porcupine for 50 bucks and post that on Youtube. :D

[VMFA-Blaze]

Hey Jarhead.. Sure I remember you bro... You know when things get tough the tough get goin' ...

 

I though that you were guaranteed aviation... I guess things have changed a lot in the Croutch over the years.. But I'll bet that a lot of things have stayed the same as well...

 

So since your in, did you think about maybe trying to get into some school when you come back from Hell..

 

You might be able to become a Marine Pilot.. While I was in I had a Aviation mos.. and worked with a lot of very Squared Away Pilots..

 

I'm sure that you must have thought about it anyway...

 

Well good luck with your future, and may " God Look Out For Ya' "....

Well...as long as you provide:

A. The camera

B. The porcupine

and let me pull the quills off the thing...be more than happy to take ur money. :D-

[Brit_Radar_Dude]

Yep, I remember ya from UBI....

[Raised_Dead85]

Well its takes alot to get there like 8 years of schooling, OSC, the reason i got supply because im not that smart... i meant you got to be really that in order you become a pilot... thats why you said you were around most squared away pilots! Me being US Marines i have to put up with alot of bullshit that make no sence and they do it because they want to be asses. Like in supply we are always given this speech... " theres marines out there out in the heat with flak jackets, kevlar, with no ammo and hot ass water to drink". Its okay i got a year left im going to suck it up like they always say. I understand and so does the grunts did when they choosen that mos. Honestly being in supply is just like working in Wal-Mart.

 

Hey blaze what was ur rank when you got out?

[VMFA-Blaze]

Well if I had to do it all over again I would have gone the career route and applied to OCS... Finished and really gotten my wings....

But as it stands when I came back home to NYC, got a career job working on Wall St, "The Financial District" and just never really got another chance at it after that...

 

But you still have a chance at it, why do you think that your not intelligent enough to do something like getting into OCS. I'll bet that if you try hard enough you'll be able to succeed at whatever you want...

Just think about what you've accomplished already.. Life has its challenges, You should be strong and hard and take on these challenges and WIN !!!

Ignore the "Petty Shit" and become a Marine Corps Pilot.. That should be a high enough goal to set for yourself... And to accomplish something of this caliber will open doors for you and will stay with you for the rest of your Life...

 

RD... I was an E-5

 

This was my rank before I was discharged... Not bad, but as I said I would have rather it to have been a Captain...
