I just had a friend get back from the Iraq. He is a Navy Seabee (engineer) he did a lot of assessment on damaged bridges and structures, working with him was a squad of marines that in his words “their only function in life was to keep me alive and to kill people, I love the marines”.
Just thought you would like to know that most likely some of the men you trained kept my friend alive.

Thanks

Born in a bar... Tun Tavern, 10 Nov, 1775... We better be good at it. Heck, the first enlistment incentives were quarts of beer...

IIRC, Samuel Nichols enacted the decision to form the Continental Marines. Good day.

I am told (I do not know this first hand) that the only thing more dangerous than Marines in a war zone, would have to be bored Marines in a war zone.
Having known a few Inactive Marines I can believe this statement.
If you will please note: I have learned enough to know that there are no retired or ex Marines.It's a Long story that I will not go into.
Anyway good job Mad and thanks

I have a few marine friends and I would put my life in their hands any day!


The stories they tell can give me goose bumps, and I am not even talking about the gory stuff

Like i have said before and i will say it again don't be scared cause when the world needs help and they dial 911 don't worry there will be a US Marine waiting to get that call! Madhat can you get a picture of the chapel on PI for these guys who don't know but the pearly gates are guarded by United States Marines. And one other thing since i have been out i have had a total of 50 plus students both men and women who wanted to know the correct way to shoot a rifle and pistol.My buddy swears he wishs now i didn't show his wife how to shoot! She is better then him! Yes MADHAT i had her every weekend just like we did on the island and i drilled it into her head all the saftey! She got a brand new model 35 Glock when she graduated my class!!!

Ya know, there are some dumb jarheads out there, and I may be one of them, we do retarded stuff sometimes, but give us a 5 paragraph order (list of what needs to be done/how we're gonna do it) and turn us lose... better not be in front of us.

Semper Fi!

I love a Marine you can hand one a red balloon with a fart in it, and he will spend all day sucking on it trying to talk like Donald Duck.

Told my pop that I wanted to be a Marine like he was back in WW II .... he said "You ain't no Marine, son !!".

He was probably right ... but I'm sure glad HE was a Leatherneck!!

Semper Fi !!
