fftopic: Is there anything you need there supply wise that you can't get over there? You can answer in PM if ya want.

HOOAH!!! That's very awesome of you to ask indicop, but you'd be surprised at the luxuries we have. Hell we just got in room internet - yep, you heard right... Now, if this was 2006 when I was out here for the first time, then I'd probably take you up on that offer.

As for the history of our covers/headgear, I remember seeing something somewhere and I've been trying to find it again. I'll let you know when/if I find it.

Happy Birthday Marines

Today is the 233rd Birthday of our beloved United States Marine Corps. Semper Fidelis and Oorah to my fellow Marines and Navy Corpsmen who have served on the green side. Here's to another 233 years of Honor, Courage and Commitment to something greater than ourselves. If you know a Marine wish him a happy birthday and thank him for his service.

Happy belated birthday! I'm all about any celebration that involves mandatory eating of CAKE!

Oh, by the way, I have that "We never promised you a rose garden" poster and it's signed by Chuck Taliano welcoming me to the Marine Corps family when my husband was still in and he met him.

If I had only this photo to judge from, I would conclude that advancement into the ranks of senior NCOs gets progressively more difficult the taller you are, perhaps because yelling up at people is a more favored leadership style than yelling down at them.

Meanwhile, here's my favorite Marine recruiting poster. The guy couldn't get away with that much of a facial expression today.
