> Welcome home Phantoms.... I was lucky to be invited to take some photos for the Fiance` of a returning marine. She was super sweet.. I just wanted to put my welcome back shout out... ;) **It was the best/most well organized homecoming I have been too so far (here) WELCOME HOME.....  

It was the best/most well organized homecoming I have been too so far (here) It's because they had the entire deployment to plan it. Those guys don't do much. My man was attached with -2 a while back. They arent allowed to work more then 8 hours in a 24 hour period with less then 14 hours of rest in between. I understand they are considered "airplanes" but they are unmanned. 

Great pic! 

They arent allowed to work more then 8 hours in a 24 hour period with less then 14 hours of rest in between. you're wrong.... just sayin Those guys don't do much wrong about this too... I understand they are considered "airplanes" but they are unmanned. what does that have to do with anything? 

Where was this homecoming? 

Those guys don't do much Yeah thats crap they do a lot. My husband used to be in a battery and he works way harder now that he's with a VMU. 

runs to get kel for drama watching***** 

runs to get kel for drama watching*****  She can bring it if she wants to sit there and say our husbands don't work there are quite a few VMU wives here from both 1 and 3. 

the comment had nothing to do with "bringing it". TDKM expects drama to come of it and said she was bringing kel along to watch. how would you get confused with her going to be talking smack? 

No I meant the little dot lady can bring the drama if she wants to talk sh!t. Everyone (kel and YDKM) are free to watch. 

LOL!! I said DRAMA WATCHING!!!! 

I'm here to watch, where's the dot lady1 LOL 

Yeah I got that. And who ever the other girl is can bring it if she wants to start drama. 

So what is it that your hub does, that the other lady said he doesn't do much? 

I just don't understand how someone can say that a deployed unit doesn't do anything... even if they're not always busy, they're DEPLOYED. It's not like they get nights and weekends off! 

So what is it that your hub does, that the other lady said he doesn't do much?  He is an imagery analyst he looks at the feed from UAVs and locates targets so the artillery can hit them or so the humves don't get ambushed. 

it is what it is there are always going to be units v. units and jobs v. jobs. Ashley, you know what your husband is doing over there and you know what the VMUs do. Clearly .'s husband didn't inform her of everything even if it was a few years ago. 

I just don't understand how someone can say that a deployed unit doesn't do anything... even if they're not always busy, they're DEPLOYED. It's not like they get nights and weekends off!  Yeah and its not like their living in the lap of luxury he's got no electricity and eating MREs and in crap hole afgan. 

Yeah and its not like their living in the lap of luxury he's got no electricity and eating MREs and in crap hole afgan.  Exactly! Even if they did just sit around all day, just being over there is putting their life on the line. 

He is an imagery analyst he looks at the feed from UAVs and locates targets so the artillery can hit them or so the humves don't get ambushed. And if he is not alert or doing his job an entire platoon can be in danger! Right? 

it is what it is there are always going to be units v. units and jobs v. jobs. Ashley, you know what your husband is going over there and you know what the VMUs do. Clearly . husband didn't inform her of everything even if it was a few years ago.  I know Jenn, I just hate to here people say our husbands don't work. 

And if he is not alert or doing his job an entire platoon can be in danger! Right? him and the operator yup 

And if he is not alert or doing his job an entire platoon can be in danger! Right?  Exactly 

Jenn your hubby is the operator with my hubby isn't he? 

Jenn your hubby is the operator with my hubby isn't he yea... 

For the life of me I cannot think of a job in the Corps that isn't important?? Can someone help me? 

Just making sure that was you! 

For the life of me I cannot think of a job in the Corps that isn't important?? Can someone help me?  Nope. 

Dot lady....what does your hubs do? Is it important? Or does he just get paid for the fun of it?
