The nerve of that Marine Corps recruiter telling me I'll too old to re-up!
I said,
"But I'm a 2nd Force Recon Scout Sniper that can still pic-a-tic off a gnat's ass @ 1K meters, in a snow storm! We lay-in-wait, and over the last 30 years I've had a lot of experience. Snipers only need to be able to "snoop & poop" and carry a 50 caliber. We don't have to do 50 squat thrusts before lights out, or hump 20 miles in full pack before sunrise! Put me up against your best 20 year old. It takes a lot to get a snipers heartrate up, 'cause we've been trained to "relax" if you want "one shot -- one kill", and I invented "relax". I'll die my hair to cover the gray, get lippo-suction and a face-lift, if you can push this paperwork through, Sergeant."
He didn't go for it. Should I lie about my age?

Chief look at it this way .... when Marines are young they go to foreign lands and take the war to them.
As we age, we then take on the more sacred task of defending the motherland from within.
Sincerely,
Another home defense Marine

Really? When I saw the Marines at Ranger School, boy, they were shaking their legs like little kids.
Force Recon is considered to be the weakest link in the Special Ops community. Force Recon is NOT even considered as Special Ops.
