Too many Okinawa references, and I have been too long away from Subic to add my own...

Yea, there were a few too many Okinawa/Iwakuni references in this little list, but, I'll add a few of my own:

You might be a Marine if:

111. To emphasize your point in conversation you point with your entire right hand - as if in a salute that is stalled - and jab it at them as if it were a weapon! (Which it is!)
PS: (Your thumb Must be flush with your hand!)

112. You tell your children/wife/staff to "Fall in!" when it is time to get ready to leave your location!

113. You tell your children/wife/staff to "Saddle up!" when it is time to leave your location!

114. The worse the crisis is the calmer you become!

115. The more petty the offense the worse the chewing out is!

116. You still call a floor "A Deck" and a ceiling an "Overhead".

117. Your favorite word/phrase to your children (Besides "I love you!") is: "Tough!"

118. You don't allow your kids to bitch about the weather or the chow or the activity! "Every day's a holiday! Every meal's a feast!" (OK. They can bitch - but you don't have to listen to it!)

Semper Fi!
