Aye. This is the essence of the Corps. That's the shit.

Here's one to Bobby....

"Another Marine reporting for duty Sir, I did my time in hell."

<the tequila is pouring>

For those who don't understand:

The US Marines were formed by the Continental Congress in Tuns Tavern, 10
November, 1775.

Hence the drinking part of the Corps.

We do our damn best to honor that.

Scott

PS:
Thanks George. I have been getting shit from all kinds of foreign entities
about my post. Fuck em.
There is no doubt in my ultra-modern military mind that Bobby is tipping one
with us Earth bound
Jarheads right now.
