Tell that to my several relatives that went through MCRD

and won the pres. unit cit. Over 30,000 San Diego
Marines were doing the fighting in Iraq, many two tours
including my second cousin.

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.
I was born on the wrong side of the Mississippi, I reckun, or I'd a been a chigger-bitten dude like you. ;-)
AKA Phantasy Island, where women become Marines.
