You shoulda seen me the time my ghillie suit caught fire.

Did you know that one careless Marine can set another one on fire just by standing next to him with a lit cigarette?

Have you ever seen a Gunnery Sgt laugh so hard he literally couldn't speak?

Do you know that it's a cast iron bi*** to repair a burned Ghillie suit?

I carried the nickname "LCpl Johnny Flame" for months.....

Nope. But I have been on fire and been quite annoyed at my pals who were not getting a fire extinguisher from the helo crew, but instead were digging around in their rucks for cameras.

The next topic I expected to get to lecture the troops on was fire safety. Nope. I got light and sound discipline....
