Re: Mad Dog Mattis Quotes!!
Meet general grey twice , first time as a lcpl in subic bay, philiphinnes , was stationed there 2 years in marine barracks, got picked to be his driver for the day. Pretty cool actually , he cussed , chewed tobacco, and hit all the marines he liked a good frog lick in the arm . He would promote marines on the spot who had impressed him, I saw this happen 3-4 times that day , he'd made a couple PFC into lances and one lance he promoted to cpl , guy named Murray if memory serves me. Second time was at final Friday parade at 8th and I in august 93' . He and new commandant Gen Mundy pinned my squadmates and myself our gold super squad badges for winning annual marine rifle squad for the year . He always wore his cammies even to trips into senate . He is truly responsible for "every marine is a rifleman" his program that he started after becoming commandant. Old school, old breed warrior. We caught up before the ceremony and I reminded the general I had had the pleasure of driving him around the base and jungle that day back in subic, he laughed and said I remember you son , good job . Well as he passed me after shaking my hand , having just pinned my blouse , he frogged me again ( for the second time) in front of God , country and about 2000 people watching the ceremony , including my parents who were recording on tape . Now imagine I'm at attention , on the parade feild at 8th and I , just got frogged in the arm and he is chuckling the whole way down the line . That's what I remember about general Grey , semper fi

Re: Mad Dog Mattis Quotes!!
Things got bad , after "Tail Hook" . Not saying that was the direct reason but I remember not being able to make a marine "push" during blue green work-ups . Had a Msgt come let me have it for making a Marine push on the flight deck of the USS Dallas. Hell ... I was platoon Sgt and couldn't bend a s-bird marine. Never liked that damn POG!!

Re: Mad Dog Mattis Quotes!!
Frogging/= when someone punches the shit out of your upper arm , it then throbs for hours , hence the term frogging , a way of marines , warriors , alpha males in general to show they like each other , hey your all right , I'm going to punch the shit out of you .
Dguidry , don't fuck with this thread , I'll call ranger p and I know your standing by a window ....

Re: Mad Dog Mattis Quotes!!
Yep tailhook incident really changed a lot then shortly later all the political correct shit followed.
Frogging is just a punch in the arm with a knuckle poking out

Re: Mad Dog Mattis Quotes!!
Guidry.. With your approval I would more than happy to demonstrate "frogging" with at Caddo if you are coming up for the ride. Just talking about it fails to fully capture the genius behind it. It's something you really have to experience in person.

Re: Mad Dog Mattis Quotes!!
Gone is the day of hard-ass generals that speak truth, motivate soldiers, and instill esprit da corps
We are now being led by politicians with stars on their collars who forgot the oath is to the Constitution.
