Wow, that's excellent! I never did get a tat. Kept finding a way to blow my (meager) dough on other junk.

Semper fidelis,

One of the guys I went thru boot camp at Parris Island had a Marine Corps tattoo on his forearm. His older brother was, or had been a Marine, and since this recruit anticipated joining the Corps he thought he'd get a Globe & Anchor tattoo in advance. Big mistake, the DI's gave him a rough time ... to be a civilian puke with a Marine Corps tattoo and not having survived the test of boot camp ... was a huge mistake. Marines don't rate a Globe & Anchor tattoo unless you're officially a Marine. It helped that this guy was squared away and eventually made PFC out of basic ... but it would have been a little easier without the tattoo.
