Help Support VMFP-3 80s Flashback
By Marc "Devil Dog Of The Web" Iseli / Updated Dec. 2025
Alright, Rat Packers and Phantom Phanatics,
muster up! For the last couple of decades,
I’ve been running this digital squadron bar,
reuniting the old crew, swapping sea stories,
and making sure the legend of VMFP-3 doesn’t
get lost in the bilge water of history. Keeping
this beast afloat takes more than safety
wire and bad coffee. I have been blessed
and it has been my honor to be able to fund
this shrine on my own so far. If you’ve enjoyed
this trip down memory lane (or at least got
a laugh out of the photos, consider tossing
a few coins in the geedunk jar using the
link below. I don’t know how many more sorties
I’ve got before I punch out for the big debrief
in the sky, but I’ll keep this rust bucket
steaming as long as I can. Chip in and I’ll
slap your name in the Honorary Rat Pack Hall
of Shameless below, where legends and troublemakers
live forever. Thanks for keeping the madness
alive. Semper Gumby!


Honorary Rat Pack Members
Here’s the roll call of legends who tossed
a few coins in the Rat Pack’s rusty Geedunk
Jar and kept this FUBAR running. Welcome
to the Honorary Rat Pack Hall of Shameless,
where your name gets immortalized right next
to the guy who once tried to trade an MRE
for a date. Bravo Zulu, you magnificent Gyrenes.

Alright, you glorious Rat Phixers and Phlyers,
if we ever survived a TAD, a Det, or a BOHICA,
who haven't, and you didn’t think I was the
biggest gaff off in the squadron. Got a sea
story, or some grainy photos your ex didn’t
set on fire, and they’re only slightly illegal?
Send ‘em by email, snail mail, or safety
wire it to a carrier pigeon. I collect ‘em
all, just nothing that would incriminate
me.
