Dave Foreman was one of the founders of Earth First!, the radical ecology movement in the United States. Generally, Foreman is a "wilderness" EarthFirst!er, and might not be so inclined to agree with some of the social justice positions that many EF!ers take today. Since 1989, when Foreman was arrested by the FBI, he has been less active. He claims that he was set up. Foreman's lasting contribution to Earth First! is the creation of a guide to monkey wrenching, which is now in its third edition.

[edit] Time in OCS

After graduating from college in 1968, and attending the Officers Candidate School of the US Marine Corps for a mere two and a half months, Foreman's radicalism began to take shape.

Unless I am mistaken, USMC Officer Candidate School is either one 10-week course or two 6-week courses over two summers. Thus, Foreman's "two and a half months" would not be "mere" since that is apporoximately 10 weeks. Perhaps he was in OCS for two and a half weeks? CrypticBacon 23:40, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
