Oh, I know all about you Marines. We drove you guys across the planet twice on my LHA (Peleliu). I’d hook them up with great working air conditioning, they hooked me up with MREs -better than Navy chow. I miss those guys.

Vesper Martini:
3 ounces of Gordon’s Gin
1 ounce of 100 proof vodka
.5 ounce of blonde Lillet
Shake with ice and serve with large, thin lemon peel.
Invented by Ian Fleming for his James Bond character.

The guys here at work call it a, “Sissy drink.”
But, it’s a pretty potent mix.

Coors was merged with Miller years ago. I really don’t pay attention to all of that. As long as I’m getting paid well, I’m good.

“Sissy’ Drink?

That’d put my old ass down!

But, you got my DNA wrong: I’m a dog soldier! The jarheads never had anything as sophisticated as air-mobility back in the 60’s.

But, I got to hand it to you squids...none of us ever saw any service member so ready to do a bar fight as you guys.

Must have been the time at sea.
