"MCRD, PARRIS ISLAND, S C, Grad: 7/3/'73 (Home of the indestructable sand flea!, a protected species!) :-)"
Ha ha easy for me to laugh not having to stand at attention for an hour while my face was ripped apart and bleeding.
I was told by a ex-Marine and Marine dad at Parris Is. that they "seed" areas with those little buggers, so the recruits are assured a sufficient number to be on hand. Or was it the red fire ants?
Thank you all in this thread that have served our country in uniform.
Proud uncle of LCpl Steve 2nd LAR currently in far northwest Iraq. I haven't asked him if Iraqi flies where anywhere as bad. Have to remember to ask him.
Tell him we're pretty proud of him too!!:-)
