Thanks.


Dad was the Marine, Korean War.
I was Airborne Infantry, Texas Army Guard.
Brother was Air Force, Viet Nam.
Dad made sure we knew what was what. Riflemen FIRST.


Then pick which Branch you want.

“Specially the one from the Marines.”

Every Marine learns and can recite the Riflemans Creed from heart starting in the first week in boot camp.....This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine......”

Once, during an Inspectors General’s inspection I was asked what my job was...I told the Col....”My primary job is a Marine Rifleman, my secondary job is to repair radios!” You should have seen the grins break out in that inspection party....The senior NCOs were patting me on the back as the party advanced and they came in front of me. Each in turn proud of my answer!.....yep Marines er all nuts..... in a good sort of way!
