Happy Birtheday to the few, the proud, and the tightfisted.
The marines are my favorite service because they REALLY DO live up to the motto 'SEMPER FIDELIS'.
You guys may not think about this, but from a straight fiscal view, the USMC gives us one hell of a lot more fight for our buck than any of the other services.
One of the fastest ways a Marine Officer can get the boot is by wasting a dime of the taxpayers money. Don't believe me?
Ask your congressman which ONE of our many Federal agancies returns unused monies to congress. You got it, the Marines.
Semper Fi, guys.
( I used to be a dogface years ago, and I still call you guys jarheads, but I guess a rough tough young marine can let that slide from an old man. If not, we're both gonna look stupid, me for starting a fistfight and you for beating up on an old man!)[:)]
Thanks, guys!
