It was an honor to attend the 1989, LHD-1, USS Wasp Commissioning Ceremony.
Navy Marine Corps team all the way.
From the Sea.
Don’t fail to watch the USS Wasp Commissioning Ceremony video at the end of this comment. Yes, it's almost 40 minutes but it will make your day.
From the “Call to Quarters” to “Bring the Ship Alive” to “Embark the Marines” to General Gray’s “on-target and timeless” address, it is an honor to watch. You will want to get a fresh high & tight and head to the recruiting office.
When the Ceremony was over, and I got the hair on the back of my neck to lay down, and I knew, in my heart, the United States had no peer.
I pray there is enough Patriotic DNA still in America’s collective blood stream to win the day.
It was such an honor to see the “Gray Lady” Come to Life and Embark Our Marines.
I hope someone can get this commissioning video introduced into the Active Duty channels especially to General & Admirals.
Bring the Navy Marine Team back to full operational status. Standing & Ready MAGTF’s, ARG’s, and MPS with worldwide readiness and capability.
It won't be easy but, 1989, Amphibious readiness and capabilities would be a great goal.
Looking forward to the Wasp Amphib Readiness Group (WSP-ARG) finishing up certs, etc and another MEU getting operationally under way.
As a side note, is there any proponent for non overlapping MEUs / the current paradigm as a good way of doing regular business? I get the impression that there are some decision makers who may think 'this is fine'.

Does anyone have insight into anything that the nation has asked of the Corps that has not been delivered?
