Yes, those are great. She has always been a classy lady and unfailing in her support for her Gentlemen. It’s a shame we don’t have many like her for our troops today.

Everyone knows The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy, its the ‘men's’ department. LOL

BTTT! Thanks for the ping, 444Flyer.

HADITHA MARINE PING!.

I’d settle for just changing it from the Defense Department back to the WAR Department.

Soldiers of the Sea. Ooooorah!

[444Flyer]

Woo Hoo! Thanks for that Ping Jaz! You Rock!!!

“To Hell with that. Just separate the two and have a Dept. of the Marine Corps!”

To hell with that. Just more useless beurocratic overhead and cost.

Disband all the “departments” and make it a single War Department. Put the Commandant of Marines at its head.

We’d need a unified military uniform. No more of this separate suits for each service nonsense. USMC uniform issue is the best looking and most functional, so it should be it.

Just think of all the extra MAUs and MABs that could be made out of all those Army and Air Force peeps.

Both the US Army and the US Navy have a long history of trying to abolish, destroy, do away with the USMC. Time the tables were turned.

Semper Fi.

“Disband all the “departments” and make it a single War Department. Put the Commandant of Marines at its head.”

I could go along with that! One giant USMC! (Except all the other pogues would have to go thru Boot Camp!)

The Marine Corps is a department of the navy—the mens’ department.

[Marine_Uncle]

I hate to sound like a dud. But I don’t think this will go very far.

[444Flyer]

I'm “hoping” for it.;-)

[Marine_Uncle]

I am for it. But the Navy will have to many objections and win out against it most likely.

[444Flyer]

I can tell you right now that the Corps wouldn't use the recruiting slogan “America's Marine Corps, A Global Force For Good”.

I think it's time the Squids give credit where credit is due. It appears pretentious on their part to not share the name credit with the actual boots on the ground.

[Marine_Uncle]

Sounds good to me. Hope it can work out. And with that I have to hit the rack. Do have a great upcoming day.

[444Flyer]

Same to you Uncle.
