Two things they teach Marines:
1. Keep your priorities in order
2. Know when to act without hesitation.
A college professor, an avowed atheist, was teaching his class. He shocked
several of his students when he flatly stated he was going to prove there
was no God. Addressing the ceiling he shouted: "God, if you are real, then
I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!" The
lecture room fell silent. You could have heard a pin fall. Ten minutes went
by. Again he taunted God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm still waiting." His
count-down got down to the last couple of minutes when a Marine - just
released from active duty and newly registered in the class - walked up to
the professor, hit him full force in the face, and sent him tumbling from
his lofty platform. The professor was out cold! The students were shocked
and babbled in confusion. The young Marine took a seat in the front row
and sat silent. The class fell silent.....waiting. Eventually, the
professor came to, shaken. He looked at the young Marine in the front row.
When the professor regained his senses and could speak he asked: "What's the
matter with you? Why did you do that?" The young Marine answered, "God was
busy. He sent me."
One Nation Under God.
