Welcome To Delta Battery

*Artillery adds dignity to what would*
*otherwise be a vulgar brawl.*

Welcome to the web home of Delta Battery, Second Battalion, Eleventh Marine Regiment, First Marine Division.
This site is dedicated to all the former members of Delta Battery. There are serious and satirical articles, true stories of humor and sacrifice, some photos and a guestbook, so we can get a reunion together before we're all gone

Incoming has the right of way.

**The New fire Mission**
All of us Old Timers(Cough) remember what a fire mission was like. *Jim Hackett* gave us a glimpse of what *THE NEW FIRE MISSION* will be like for Marines in the Year 2000

If your Sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.

Since the Web Designer is a Vietnam Vet, here is a brief history of the 11th Marines in Vietnam.

Never worry about the bullet with your name on it. Instead, worry about shrapnel addressed to 'occupant'.

Some members of Delta carried radios with the Grunts

Who are these troublemakers anyway?

Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.

What's This?
If you have Real Player You'll Find out

Don't be conspicuous. In the combat zone, it draws fire. Out of the combat zone, it draws Sergeants.

On 19 May, 1967, Delta Battery recieved thirty 82mm mortar rounds in their position and incurred one KIA and nine WIA'S.

**The Guest Bunker**
We always appreciate guests to our pages and the following articles will, we hope, make you angry, make you laugh, and finally, Lift Your Spirit High, for as Marines, we may have seemed as the Wolf, but were really the Eagles.

Always remember, your equipment was made by he lowest bidder.

OK, the editor discovered "The Real Skinny" on the M-16.
This is one of the best true stories about
Vietnam we've seen on the internet.
Former Enlisted Man & Retired Marine Officer Dick Culver (Daddy of the U.S.M.C. Sniper School) is one of the Marine Corps best. He tried to stop Marines from being killed with this "Mattel Toy" But politics prevailed.
If you *EVER* wondered what this was all about, click on the M-16 to find out

The buddy system is essential to your survival; it gives the enemy somebody else to shoot at.

If you ever thought "Where are all these Vietnam Veterans coming from?", read

WARNING! THE SITE ABOVE IS RATED PG AS THERE IS SOME PROFANITY. PLEASE DON'T READ IT IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED

Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.

Some Remarks for The Lighthouse Project '99, Central High School, North Carolina . 29 January 1999 by Gen. Charles C. Krulak are certainly in order on any Marine Corps Site

If you can't remember, the Claymore is pointed toward you.

May the Marine Corps always be guided by the words of Marine Maj. Gen. Rupertus� in The Rifleman�s Creed (included in all the rifle qualification score books in the Marine Corps):
"My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, not the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit..."

A sucking chest wound is nature's way of telling you to slow down.

If you served with Delta Battery
anytime in the history of the
Marine Corps, We want to hear
from you

The problem with taking the easy way out is that the enemy has already mined it.
