——why we are different than the Navy? Can I have just one more reason, please sir? How about because they gave me all the freekin’ weapons in the barn, Made sure I knew how to light them up, then let me light them up at stuff I was pizzed at. Another bunch of guys re-filled the barn when I got thru.——semper fi

During my last cruise, the Navy had a reward for ‘squid of the week’ or something. They had a shoot-ex off the fantail. No big deal until they pulled a pristine Thompson out and blasted away. I could have gone squid for a day for a couple mags. Beautiful sound.

On every ship I was on the keys were still held by the Master at Arms....a Navy guy :)

My best bud from USNA went Marines.

Go Navy, Beat Army!
