There is no finer example of a Marine and a FReeper than LadyX.

Worth repeating; I sure agree. Great thread Bunny!

Happy anniversary LadyX!

Thank you, Jen, so much.

You'll laugh at the events of this day 50 years ago...:))
Eight of us girls going into the Corps arrived in Jacksonville for processing through the Navy facilties.
Going by bus to the base for our physicals, I without anticipating the 'requirement' ahead was...um...unprepared.

"Take this and give us your contribution."
LadyX stares at said vial, having emptied before leaving the hotel downtown.
LadyX paces hall - drinks from fountain - paces again. Drinks again, now mortified.
Repeat chorus numerous times, others now glaring at LadyX for the holdup!

FINALLY - SUCCESS!!!
Applause and cheering...:)))
NOW we can have the swearing in ceremony!!
