Voluntold - Veterans Sharing Their Fun Stories and Why They Joined: Recent Episodes
Lee Cloer
Here you will find bar stories. These are stories shared between buddies on a bar stool at the VFW or told around a campfire by a vet trying to entertain someone that never served. These yarns may be a 'this one night in Singapore', or 'my drill instructor said', to those buddy stories from the field or combat - just fellow veterans sharing their stories with me, a Marine Corps Veteran...and in turn, with you.
Villanti joined the Corps straight out of high school in 1994. His goal was infantry - and he got it. He was assigned to 2nd Battalion 5th Marines (2/5) Marines of the 1st Marine Division stationed at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California.
He spent 4 years with 2/5 but deployed to Okinawa Japan for 6 months. During his time w/ he trained at various schools including Combat Swimmer, Radio Operator, Military Chaser School, Combat Boat Driver Course, Assault Climber Course, CQB course and various leadership schools. While in Japan, he completed the Recon Indoc and a few months after that, was selected for Marine Security Guard school in Quantico VA.
Following 9/11 attacks he would rejoin the military in the U.S. Army as a Combat Engineer / Demolition teaching soldiers to blow stuff up at Ft Bragg. He would be deployed to Camp Victory North, Baghdad, Iraq.
