May we continue to bedevil our enemies and commanders in equal measure.

"The Marines I have met have had the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any unit I have seen. May God preserve the Marine Corps"

1. Happy Birthday and Semper Fi to all you guys

This Army vet had a great time attending the birthday ceremonies at the Iwo Jima Memorial a couple of years. My older brother was a Marine who almost ended up invading Laos long ago, but that's another story.

I made a birthday post in the Veterans Group in honor of this occasion:

It's Diwali here so we'll be a bit busy. But always glad to hear from across the aisle, as it were

5. And we appreciate you shooting who we tell you to

And that time in the barrel ya'll serve...

Ok ok I'm done. I was the Intel squid assigned to make command think my boys had brains (they didn't need me but for hardware). If I dont flip shit I feel like I've betrayed e-club rules.

6. I left the Corps to do documentation on the LCAC

That gave me a new and very positive view of the Navy, at least the Boats people.

7. And thank God we had a liberal immigration policy for the boats people
