NOV 10, 26 (1 / 2).. SEMPER FI GYRENE..

By Cap Chastain November 10, 2026 U. S. Marine Corps 3 Comments

At age 90 years of age, the single best decision of my life to this point in time, was my decision to quit the University of Michigan after 3 – 1/2 years and enlist in the United States Marine Corps on January the 29th 1958.

I served as an enlisted member of the United States Marine Corps from January the 29th 1958 until I was discharged on July 4th of 1964 when I accepted a Commission as an Ensign (0-1) in the United States Navy Civil Engineer Corps (The Seabees).

Nice Holiday today for me personally courtesy of  NATIONAL TODAY..

The above title of this Post is explained below.

Semper Fi is the official motto of the United States Marine Corps.

“Gyrene” is a commonly used “Slang Term” for a Marine. It is believed to be a blend of “G.I.” and “Marine”. 

Jarhead is another slang term for a Marine. 

Major General John A. Lejeune, the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, is widely regarded as the ‘Father of the Modern Marine Corps.’ In 1921, he issued Marine Corps Order No. 47, Series 1921, which formally established November 10 as the annual commemoration of the Corps’ founding. His leadership and vision profoundly shaped the institution, solidifying its traditions and future direction.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, a major 246-square-mile United States Marine Corps training facility located in Jacksonville, North Carolina, was named after General Lejeune.

NOV 10, 26 (2 of 2).. OUR WEBSITE ATTACK NOV 6, 26

By Cap Chastain November 10, 2026 Andrej, Computer / Website Frustration(s), DOTNET Website ATTACK NOV 6, 26, Ginny-89029 No Comments

We know that, at least some of you, would like to know what is the status of our dotnet website.

As of now, at least as of this instant, dotnet is now back online and fully functional.

We may never really know what happened.

After publishing our NOV 5, 26, Post here on dotnet, no one, not Patti, not me, not Andrej our webmaster, no one including all you our followers, could access dotnet.

Andrej and I felt that dotnet was being attacked by “Bots” (short for “Robots”) that are automated software applications that run over a network to perform repetitive tasks much faster than a human.

Ginny asked me what was the difference between dotnet (which was being attacked) and Google Blogspot (which was not being attacked).

Dotnet is part of a private Host Company (Midphase) running WordPress.

Google Blogspot is part of the gigantic and very powerful Google firm.

The scammers or hackers or neer-do-wells who were attacking dotnet could succeed because Midphase is not a gigantic powerful company.

On the other hand, our attackers could NOT easily or successfully attack the mighty and powerful Google!!

So there, in our opinion, is the difference between dotnet and Google Blogspot.

Where to now? All I can say is, so far, these two NOV 10, 26 Posts are “Business As Usual”.

But the attack just demoralized and depressed yours truly.

This is now our third major problem (AUG 8, 24.. JUL6, 26.. NOV 6, 26..)  with dotnet.

Andrej and I have decided to remain with Midphase because we want to save the fifteen years of work we have put into dotnet!!

There you have it.. At least for now.
