Thank goodness the Rand Corp. brought this to our attention.

Shocking..... Those nasty boys. Well Dr. Sarah Meadows, you ought to see how we treat the enemy.......

We had just returned from deployment, 13th MEU, 2/4 and of course the brass had to make speeches, while we stood in formation, with our familes 50 feet away.

I had flown in early and went to the infirmary to round up the wounded and get them to the parade deck. We got all the cases of beer we could find and slipped them through, covered with blankets, under the wheel chair seats.

It was a considerable pile that we put on the deck. We didn't know the brass was coming. The Battalion C/O shows up, sees the cases of beer covered with blankets and assumes that it was a speakers platform.

He jumps up on the beer and chews us out about over-drinking and partying. Everyone but the C/O knew what was under the blankets.

There wasn't a dry eye in the place as we stifled ourselves. Maybe that was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

We drank all that beer, several Marines chose to sleep on dirt that night.

USMC

Uncle Sam's Misguided Children

So the New Corps isn't so different form our Old Corps!

Barack Obama, the non-American dumbass, didn't know the difference between a core, a corpse and the Corps.

But even Eleanor Roosevelt was smart enough to appreciate the US Marine Corps.

Reminds me of the best year of my life.....1970 rotated from I Corps RVN to MCRD San Diego. Seemingly indestructible first lieutenant with nothing in sight but nurses and teachers.......

Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve.

If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the Angels all paired off
With United States Marines.

Marines lead all services in binge drinking, sex partners

Reputations and traditions, are earned, and must be maintained.

Semper Fi!!!

Alpha males party hard. This surprises no sentient humans.

Our university / think tank PhDs are another matter.

Another taxpayer funded shrimp-on-a-treadmill boondoggle study, brought to you by the brass hats at Fort Ridiculous (The Pentagon). Their findings: The Marine Corps has a higher percentage of young men than the other Services, and they drink, copulate, and smoke at higher rates. I’m shocked, shocked...

But they’re counting each other as sex partners.
