Tgsl - Thanks for the ping

\/\/ayne - Great report. Surprised that the "ex Marine" didn't join you in singing "The Marines Hymn." ....not.

I've been informed on many occasions that there is no such a thing as an ex Marine and no Marine can remain silent when the Hymn is being sung.

Yes and not only that some Marines were telling me that they really were supposed to be standing at attention when I sang it but they didn't want to put down their signs.

That struck me as a little too much so I told this joke:

You know how the Army tells time; 2400 is 12:00.
And of course for the Navy, 8 bells is 12:00.
The Marines know it's 12:00 when Mickey Mouse's hands are straight up!
