Welcome to the Llama Pit

Aaron Moore: When I checked into 1st Force Recon Company there was a sign above the platoon area, it said "The Llama Pit." Now I've done two tours with the unit and still to this day can't find anyone who knows why or when that sign went up. It may not make sense to anyone else, but I like it. It's one of those unknowns, like crop circles and the Loch Ness monster. Welcome to the Llama Pit!

The One, The Proud

During the 1900 Boxer Rebellion, a US Marine Private named Daniel Daly volunteered to crawl along a wall for 100 yards to snipe at any Chinese who attempted to exploit a vulnerable flank while a barricade was erected. During the night, as Chinese tried to infiltrate the shaky perimeter, Daly cut them down one at a time with expert rifle fire. When they almost overran his position, in which he was the only man defending, he fought with his bayonet and rifle butt against great odds. Not a single Chinese got past him. The next morining, his comrades found him, alone and unhurt, surrounded by the bodies of dozens of Chinese he killed himself. He got the Medal of Honor for this feat. He got a second for his actions in Haiti in 1915. He was later nominated for a third.

SgtMaj Daly is one of the icons of Marine Corps history.  His acts of courage are briefed to recruits in order for the young Marines to better understand the responsibilities they are inheriting from a long line of rough, but noble wariors.

The new version of Microsoft Office 2010 Office is a BIG disappointmMKNMNBMent. Microsoft Office 2010 It is VERY hard to navigate around. Simple tasks Microsoft Office are now very involved to do. Try printing your work. Outlook 2010 You would figure this would be an “easy to see icon” from Office 2010 download anywhere in Office. This is such an MS office 2010 obviously poor quality update that Microsoft Office 2010 product key should fire the managers Office 2010 home responsible for the 2010 version. People will flee to Office 2010 professional plus Open Office. I have used Office 2010 trial Microsoft products since MS 95. I use the Home and Student version because I’m retired and don’t need the work related products from MS.
