I think they were members in either 1967 or 1968. Thanks, Kate Gordon. My father was the head of ROTC in 1968. Col.

Conlan,Jr., USMC. Brian was a Senior Cadet. He was one of the founding members of the TG. We will always cherish his participation in Seton Hall ROTC and TRIPHIBIAN GUARD. We refer you also to the Film: "Rules of Engagement" with Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson, (2000) Paramount Pictures, USA. In that film Tommy Lee Jones states that the average life span of an Army or USMC Lieutenant was 14 minutes.<br />Also see:<br />http://www.vvmf.org/thewall/Wall_Id_No=10087<br /><br />SOMMESEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302291718391256287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278058704599752304.post-60765254699934892212013-01-25T18:31:59.000-08:002013-01-25T18:31:59.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.SOMMESEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302291718391256287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278058704599752304.post-79813279240543316512013-01-25T18:27:14.566-08:002013-01-25T18:27:14.566-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.SOMMESEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302291718391256287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278058704599752304.post-12605101932903891482012-04-06T10:28:19.876-07:002012-04-06T10:28:19.876-07:00Since this site is about the history of the Triphi...Since this site is about the history of the Triphibian Guard, you should include something about 1LT Brian Conlan.<br /><br />http://www.njvvmf.org/BRIAN-D-CONLAN-vetmemorial1787PJudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250396119593389904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278058704599752304.post-67336671097135687472011-06-06T18:09:40.273-07:002011-06-06T18:09:40.273-07:00Posse Comitatus

They were not ordered by the Cadre to do anything. Neither did the University have any immediate knowledge of their Emergency Response to the THREAT. They were merely acting as PRIVATE CITIZENS until the Campus Security, South Orange Police and Fire Department arrived. Hence NO POSSE COMITATUS violation was indicated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278058704599752304.post-69354226734206302132011-06-05T14:16:53.412-07:002011-06-05T14:16:53.412-07:00Context is important.

ROTC was not popular on any College Campus in America.<br /><br />ROTC at Seton Hall was a representation of the Government. There were three groups at Seton Hall University between 1967 and 1971. ESTABLISHMENT, UNCOMMITTED AND RADICAL LEFT.<br /><br />These CADETS were not at WEST POINT. We were not in a SECLUDED ENCLAVE. We were wearing CREW CUT WHITE WALLS in the midst of the HIPPY MOVEMENT.<br /><br />We were also FULL TIME STUDENTS. We Worked at Jobs and were FULL TIME CADETS on top of all that. That was a full commitment. After two years as Cadets we got a small $50.00 check from ROTC. Everything else was privately financed.<br /><br />You have to give Credit where Credit is Dhue. We were a minority.<br /><br />On the Night of September 22, 1969, a faction of the SDS, Students for a Democratic Society attacked the ROTC TRAINING BARRACKS on SETON HALL Campus. <br /><br />They tried to set fire to several ROTC Buildings on Campus. PR K-8 Cadets and TG Company Cadets rang the Alarm in the DORMS to rally the vigilant. There was a brief scuffle before Campus Security Police and South Orange Police arrived to put out the fire.<br /><br />THAT IS CONTEXT often neglected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278058704599752304.post-90035129480043826682011-06-05T11:35:23.015-07:002011-06-05T11:35:23.015-07:00We began to contact Archives, Walsh Library, Alumn...We began to contact Archives, Walsh Library, Alumni and Military Science Departments of Seton Hall University in February 2010.<br /><br />The Pershiing Rifles K-8 Company was also a very valuable help as well.<br /><br />We were able to accomplish a small permanent Article on Wikipedia - Exhibition Drill. This took great effort. They refused to accept our citations at first. Now we are on Wikipedia.<br /><br />We don't use the older short name "Triphibs" any longer. We are using the more commonly acceptable "Tri Phi's" because it sounds more like a typical Greek Frat that is known in the Public eye.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278058704599752304.post-2738957546139795732011-06-04T20:07:49.594-07:002011-06-04T20:07:49.594-07:00Thank you Paul for your fine tribute to John Thoma...Thank you Paul for your fine tribute to John Thomas Mlynarski.<br /><br />John and I were part of the Pledge Class of 1967 of the Triphibian Guard.

He came back as a Capt in the ROTC Cadre and was the moderator for P/R K-8. <br /><br />A fine officer and a good man. He was also a "good guy" and a friend to the PR's.
