    And you KNOW it was formed in a tavern -- Tun Tavern. Wonder how many tankards of ale it took to come up with the numbers.

    Only AFTER the meeting, Sergeant Major. Even us jarheads have our sense of decorum. You don't break the chairs before you have to sit in them for 2 hours; otherwise, you stand.

    No tat's. They are identifying bodymarks. Besides, I got 2 granddaughters. I got enough crayons to outfit the next war.

    Yes! Congrats, Marines! A very noble and dedicated group of people
    over the ages!

    (No tats for me either...got enough scars to make up for that!)
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Let's not forget that the Marines won the war for this country in the Pacific during World War II. They fought against the toughest of enemies, the Japanese, and prevailed.

    Marines have my utmost respect. I will say there were a few Army and Navy guys involved in the Pacific as well....
