[Darksheare]

The Navy and Marine Corps do not have "Post Exchanges." They have NEXs or Navy Exchanges.

I agree - those are pretty danged funny....BUT:

I don't see how some of those help our cause, at least in-country. BUt not all of those represent something terribly offensive.

[Peanut Gallery]

ROFLMAO!!

I am not so sure about this being directed mainly toward Marines. I know a lot of Army/Navy/Air Force linguists also would jump at the chance to wear these. Some SEALs might like these too.

(Heck, I'd like one.)

It's good to know I didn't waste the 21 years I spent in Marine Corps administration with the SSIC manual under my pillow. :-)

[Havoc]

rofl - those are great. Belong with my Koran holder and matching toilet brush.

[napscoordinator]

Damn and I was hoping that you would become a yeoman and come help me out. LOL.

Congrats on your great service in the Marine Corps and everything else you will do.

That would be fun, as long as I didn't have to give up my retirement pay!
