Kinda fun to watch jarheads fighting amongest themselves.

I know. Think we should tell 'em,or wait 15-20 years for them to figure it out for themselves?

Pete--it was the infamous Ribbon Creek Incident whereby several recruits drowned.

Documented fully in both biographies available on General Puller.

Also somewhere on my websites--haven't had my coffee yet, can't find it right now.

Wouldn't doubt your word, of course, Joe--but I sure would like to see a reference on that--been looking for it for a while now.

That story is one of the more common explanations, but always w/o a reference provided.

I heard a story once that the working the Marines had trained the working girls in Olangapo City to cry out with a good loud oorah when they (the working girl)reached that most intimate point of their brief relationship with the Marnine.
