Marines training on Taylor Mountain Open Space

[Fortunecookie]

Why are These future marines training on Taylor Mountain? I Thought This was open space land for civilians, not for military training! The Military has their own training grounds! This was horrible to witness and was a very unwelcome sight Saturday. How does anyone else in Wacco Community feel about military training young recruits on our open space trails?? Here is an excerpt from Press Democrat article Sunday (https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/8701803-181/3-santa-rosa-teens-journey)-

They're open PUBLIC spaces.
I much rather occasionally share them than pay tax dollars for some special training ground.

Edit: SERIOUSLY?!?! your intimidated by a bunch of teenagers with backpacks? This is the "military" that's intimidating you? Get over it.

So you only want to see them when there is an emergency or you are in distress? Marines are also civilians.

And the meat you get that's wrapped in plastic came from a critter. It's good to be exposed to the behind-the-scene realities once in a while, though it can suck when you're outside trying to take a break from things. But "horrible" is a bit much...

Marines are also civilians.citizens, I think you mean? I thought that 'civilians' is us non-military types...

[Dorothy Friberg]

Does that mean; "once a marine, always a marine"?
