Word-for-word it's "One does not pass" meaning "You will not pass". It could also be translated as Google does.

どうもありがとうございます!!

Only a barcode on the screen but no Japanese, but Google translated it.

Maybe it's because I have the japanese language package on my machine.

Hey M1, I just noticed that it says "Resident Marine" above my name vice a rank. Funny I never noticed that before!

You guys ROCK! My grandfather made all the notations in his albums but I'm sure he didn't do it until he was back home. Also, we're dealing with someone with an 8th grade education and spelling was never his strong suit. Unfortunately, he never really talked about things like this and we didn't get the albums until after he died so we could never ask him about any of the pictures or places where he'd been.

Wow, where in the hell did that come from. That designation is not found in the parameters of group designations. That is indeed strange. I just have Army designations. Hmmmmmm?????!!!!

Caretaker: That could very well be. Maybe the spellings weren't correct? Could be. Also, there are names of cities and towns and some are very, very close in spelling, so if a couple of letters were off, then you'd think he was in a very different place at the time.

I realized that I had put that in my settings as my "Member Title".

I just didn't realize my forum rank was gone.

Oh, I didn't realize that either! Hmmm, guess you can't have it all! :pdt12:

Oh, I just realized mine is gone too. Because I changed mine too, it also took away my army ranking. Geez, am I blind er something???? Still have the four star ranking but...

どうもありがとうございます!!

BTW, it came out as Japanese symbols on my screen, so I could see it as you meant it.

I am probably confusing some of the newbies - I'm "CaptO" by user name, a major general by rank on the forum, and sign off as "Major Todd O."

Ya, just confuse everyone! :blink:
