“He would have smacked you upside the head!! : )”
What the...!?!? You think Gunny’s need a “reason” to smack you upside the head?!?! That’s the NEW Corps! LOL! :-)
And although I am no longer an active Marine, I will never be an EX-Marine! You can tell by the bumper stickers on my vehicles, the plaques on my walls, my desk name plaque made in the Philippines with the Marine Corps War Memorial atop and the “Marine Veteran” cap which I wear most days! Semper Fi!
