There were a lot of people who did entries on today being the Marine Corp's birthday (for example you can see some here, here, here, here, here, here), but I ask you why we never celebrate the Navy's birthday. I mean come on, we all know Jarheads are good at driving some jeeps, Humvees and generally kicking someone's ass just for some fun, but when you want to celebrate and party which of the branches are you gonna call?

At a Navy party you could sit around drinking 18 gallons of beer, 25 shots of Tequila and learning new tricks you can play with ping pong balls and some girl you just met. You can puke while you're spewing curse words out of your mouth faster than an M-16, eating a little of it while you laugh, and everyone would be chuckling along with you over it.

You could try and slide down a bannister at the "A" club in Yokosuka, Japan and fall over the side, landing a story and a half below and bruising your tailbone*. You can be chased down the street by some girl with a broken bottle in Pusan, Korea*. Then after you've just gotten started you can take your 3 or 4 girlfriends and head down the street looking like a badass gigolo with puke all over your shirt and stumbling every couple steps*. After you get back to your berthing (where squids go to collapse on the ship), you could forget where you are, pull down your pants and pee on the guy in the bottom rack*.

While I'll give Marines some props on their birthday and ass kicking, the real party is with the squids birthday...

Happy Birthday Jarheads!



This ought to get something going LOL

BTW I know ya guys think ya were here first but check your dates LOL army==June 14, 1775
marines==Nov 10, 1775


OOOPPPSSS

Hmmmmm, nice post Coachman! Very true about the partying with the Sailor boyz. And again concerning conception and birth of the Army. Curious though that the Marines are and have always been the first to fight. By the time the Army showed up, the large majority of the enemy ain't no where to be found, the foxholes, and bunkers are already dug and well used. We move out, you all move in and all the hard work is already done for ya'll.

An folks wonder why we are a bit more cocky and rightfully proud. Hell, 4 of our 54 battle streamers are from the Army.

Hell gunny I know that, I was just trying to get your goat LOL

I found this just for you Marines, it is a slow loader but well worth the wait. I think you guys deserve it.

Missed going to the Marine Corps Ball this year.

Coachman, if you ever get an opportunity to get tickets to the Marine Corps Ball, you should do so. You will have a great time and meet some great folks. (even if they are getting a little druck in the process)

Marine Corps Ball tickets

This website can issue you a ticket to ANY MC Ball in the nation. You don't have to be a Marine to go.

Thanks for that info it is something I would love to go to and see how the other half does things. Just don't want a butt whooping lol. I will check out the site thanks

Happy Birthday to all you Jarheads SEMPER FI

Took my son to his first Marine Corps Ball on Saturday. It was very nice. Retired Gunny and PFC. Best part of the whole evening was when a young lady went ahead and assumed we were brothers. God bless her. Second best part was when they got all the Marines on the dance floor to sing the The Hymn and I had my son to guide me through the last two verses

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES!

Happy Birthday United States Marine Corps.

Sounds like a damn fine time Patoloco, got me all teary-eyed (figuratively speaking :').

I'd be extremely honored to attend a Marine Corps Ball, Gunny, might have to look into it next year.

Happy Birthday!
