OK, my son is at Parris Island right now and as of today has one month to graduation. He is hanging tough. But he wrote me and asked for more letters, more news. My fingers are about worn out sending and writing stuff. He likes Marine jokes and I sent him a few but I am running out of ideas. I would like you guys to submit Marine positive humor that I can send him to encourage both him and the other men in his platoon. We need to encourage these guys. Jokes are welcome. Letters are welcome. Help me support our newest Marines. They already deserve it!
The Navy-
Kind of like Uber, but for the Marines.
I failed the Marine Corp physical exam. I couldn’t put my head in a jar.
Why does the Navy have Marines aboard their ships?
Sheep would be too obvious.
Dang ol’ screen got blurry while reading that.
Thank you for your service and Merry Christmas.
Send him a carton of cigarettes and a pack of gum. He’ll have to smoke the cigarettes with a pail over his head and they’ll make him chew the gum with the wrappers on. Now that’s funny!
My son just finished boot camp in the summer and it is brutal with the humidity, and the sandflies.
Trace Adkins sings a song about marines at Parris Island,and while the west coast does boot camp at Pendleton, Parris Island will always hold special for most marines and he country due to history and tradition.
The west boot camp is at the recruit depot by San Diego airport. Pendleton is north of Oceanside. Although they do the crucible at pendleron
Some funny jokes here:

and

Some are a bit unrefined.
Yah,like when Colonel Jessup commented on Lieutenant Caffery's "faggoty white uniform".
In "A Few Good Men"
Nothing to you, personally......I wanted to be a Marine, but they found out my parents were married.
Yeah, a guy in our platoon got a box of cookies from home.
The DI asked him if there were enough for the whole platoon.
He said no so the DI said he could eat them all by himself.
The poge was happy until the DI made him eat them all
in one sitting while drinking hot water and smoking a cigar.
Ah the good old days.
OK Thanks
The Master Chief Petty Officer and the Master Gunnery Sergeant Two old friends, one a Marine and one a Sailor meet in a bar one day (I know it may be hard to imagine either a Sailor or a Marine being in a bar ? but hear the tale). They began to discuss which of them had had the more difficult and dangerous 30 year career. The retired Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant begins: ?I graduated from High School, the next morning I was on the train for Parris Island, South Carolina. Following Boot Camp I found myself in a Regiment assigned to the Iwo Jima assault. With my fellow Marines we fought our way to the top of Mount Suribachi. ?In Korea I was with ?Chesty? Puller at Inchon, then we fought our way toward the Yalu River. In the cold Korean winter we fought at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, ?I ended my career after Viet Nam where I spent 3 months in the Battle of Khe Sanh after stomping through endless rice paddies.? The Navy Master Chief looked him in the eye and took a long draw on his bottle of beer and said simply: ?Well, it figures, all shore duty?.
what does the Marine Corps call the navy? Transportation
LOL
Chill Tonto, I like the Marines.
“There is a lot to admire in the Marines.”
I never have, and never would, dispute that. OK? Lots of super sensitive jarheads out there, maybe a lot of insecure jarheads.
LOL, squids...my buddy and I who went in together still refer to ourselves as a couple of squids...:)
I figured as much, just busting your chops, lol. All my jokes aren’t fit to print. The old stereotype does get old sometimes though. Several times over the years I’ve had nightmares about being in boot camp at PI. It’s to bad wisdom doesn’t come earlier in life. I had dinner a couple weeks ago with an old Inchon Marine at our local country dinner. It’s hard to believe some are still alive. One funny thing I remember about Boot camp is in our platoon picture one recruit is holding an eight ball. Oh how I hated the sound of that thing bouncing on concrete.
