I have some very good buddies that are Coasties.
Some of the sickiest dudes I've met in a long time...
;-)
Most of my fellow coasties were wussbags compared to almost all of the Marines I know. I graduated #1 in my Basic class, and it wasn't as hard as my lacrosse practices. Then again, my lacrosse teams won 102 out of 104 games. (we lost 2 championship games)
