Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

I don't know if this has been posted, I don't remember seeing it. It is fantastic, the ex-military folks will understand how difficult this is. I hope it works.

Here's a link to the performance of the US Marine Drill Team at a recent Denver Nuggets Basketball game. It almost makes your hair stand on end. For those of you who have spent some time in the military... this Platoon performance makes you almost want to cry... knowing the discipline and practice time it takes to execute a military drill with arms routine flawlessly - with fixed bayonets.

From 1968 through 1972 I was a member of the United States Marine Band, Washington DC, and I had the privelege of seeing these men perform almost every Friday night during the summer months at the Sunset Parade at the Marine Barracks. I can tell you, they most certainly did spend hours and hours practicing. Those are not fake bayonets, and this video clip does not show everything that they do...

I don't know if they still do the Sunset Parades, but if they do, and you're in the DC area during the summer, go see it. You will always remember it.

Semper Fi!

I have had the honor of seeing them perform a few times. Absolutely Awe Inspiring. The endless days, months practicing this shows in every performance.

And never a word is spoken.

Don't forget, these rifles the guys are flipping about are M-1 Garands. Weight 11.7 lbs, and then the bayonet. Want to make sure you never get one of 'em unhappy with you. These guys are absolutely awesome. Makes you proud to know we have young men like them.
