Ever Notice that no other Branch of service has anything close to this?

thegunny your post is consisent and might I add the oponion of a over zelous Square Head Sea going Belhop who I have in the older days used as a punching bag over the tiny little problem of a Women or maybe just a mis-guided comment.

Now, now Sully, there are these things said in the list about the MARDOT (Marine Department of Transportation) as well:

49) The "docs,'' -- Marines' corpsmen-in-arms
They're sailors, but they're as tough as Marines.

58) The Navy
Give them credit. They have it almost as tough as Marines. But who wants to be a limo service?

211) Navy chow
It's better on the ship than in the field.

212) Navy chaplains
You gotta love a man of the cloth when the cloth is camouflaged. One example: Lt. Cmdr. Dennis Rocheford, wounded twice in Vietnam as a Marine infantryman, is now a Navy chaplain aboard the USS Wasp.


(I think I met this guy LtCmdr Rocheford on the....USS Belleau Wood or Dubuque. Tough as nails and, unlike any Chaplain I met, cursed like a...well a sailor!)

Heck about the same reply I would always give a Jarhead but normly I would reserve this tirade for younger over zelous Jarheads.

Sully...you an I would get along get after I helped you get back up off the floor an over to the bar.....

You are probly right now get off the deck take a break lets have a Beer.

OK, at least you didn't offer me Wild Turkey. That stuff just gives me a big mouth an black eyes every time!

I tried Wild Turkey one weekend never tried it again about the same as White Lighting takes about the same amout of either.
