And lets not forget what the marines really are "A Department Of The NAVY" Sorry I had to do it (former squid here)

yeah, the "Mens Department"

glad you brough it up.

 

[jayfl77]

Nah, we just need somebody to catch the bullets so they dont hit our ships.


Man I love prior military, the only people who will give each other a hard time, but still have tons of respect for each other. HOOOOAH Happy Veterans DAY

 

[dsgobie]

still active here... Okinawa, JP... 3 years and counting.

 

[jayfl77]

Ive been out for a little over a year, miss the fun I had, but dont miss the pay.

 

[dsgobie]

You mean we get paid?

Yeah $12,000/yr salary on 18hr days never adds up right at the end of the month.

Actually I normally work a good 12 solid hours a day. Or about $4 an hour.

"good enough for government work" Now where did that come from anyways?????

You beat me to it! Saw that on a bumper sticker in North Carolina last May, then stopped back at ET's near Cherry Point to pick up some more in October, but couldn't find that one?

Semper Fi!

And the story goes ... immediately after the first Marine ever was signed up, he turned around and told the guy behind him:

"damn new Corps, they don't make em like they used to in the old Corps."


Semper Fi Don

I've met some really cute young ladies lately who are joining. We've had BAMs for as long as I would know, but this may not be the same corps...? :huh:

One of them was going into finance, the other apply for The Presidents Band. But they gotta' be grunts first, right?

Everyone knows what a BAM is, right? When my reserve company changed from 03 to trucks, we were taught that we could load 18 Marines on a 5-ton, or 14 BAMs. :hehe:

 

[Robinhood]

I'm out of the fleet right now doing an advanced education program...man, I miss this kind of sh%#!!

As far as you active and prior squids out there...you know what Marine stands for don't you?

MY A$$ Rides In Navy Equipment!!
