...I'm mean nasty and tired, I eat concertina wire and piss napalm, and I can put a round through a flea's ass at 200 meters, so why don't go hump somebody else's leg mudface, before I push your's in... ...Gunny Highway HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES!!
Shirley you jest... :wink: What is a Marine? Leader of men, teller of tall tales, legend in his own mind, U.S. Marine extraordinaire, stream fordable, air dropable, beer fueled, water cooled, author, history maker, lecturer, traveler, freedom fighter, defender of the faith. Wars fought, tigers tamed, revolutions started, bars emptied, alligators castrated. Let me win your hearts and minds or I'll burn your damn hut down,,, We're short haired bastards with razors for attitudes and meat clevers for pricks... Why a Birthday? MARINE CORPS ORDERS No. 47 (Series 1921) HEADQUARTERS U.S. MARINE CORPS Washington, November 1, 1921 759. The following will be read to the command on the 10th of November, 1921, and hereafter on the 10 November of every year. Should the order not be received by the 10th of November, 1921, it will be read upon receipt. (1) On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of Continental Congress. Since that date many thousand men have borne the name "Marine". In memory of them it is fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the birthday of our corps by calling to mind the glories of its long and illustrious history. (2) The record of our corps is one which will bear comparison with that of the most famous military organizations in the world's history. During 90 of the 146 years of its existence the Marine Corps has been in action against the Nation's foes. From the Battle of Trenton to the Argonne, Marines have won foremost honors in war, and in the long eras of tranquility at home, generation after generation of Marines have grown gray in war in both hemispheres and in every corner of the seven seas, that our country and its citizens might enjoy peace and security. (3) In every battle and skirmish since the birth of our corps, Marines have acquitted themselves with the greatest distinction, winning new honors on each occasion until the term "Marine" has come to signify all that is highest in military efficiency and soldierly virtue. (4) This high name of distinction and soldierly repute we who are Marines today have received from those who preceded us in the corps. With it we have also received from them the eternal spirit which has animated our corps from generation to generation and has been the distinguishing mark of the Marines in every age. So long as that spirit continues to flourish Marines will be found equal to every emergency in the future as they have been in the past, and the men of our Nation will regard us as worthy successors to the long line of illustrious men who have served as "Soldiers of the Sea" since the founding of the Corps. JOHN A. LEJEUNE, Major General Commandant 75705—21

I understand the legend in own mind thing. That's a Nebraska fan isn't it? But of course Happy Birthday Marines.
So there's a Chief Petty Officer and Gunnery Sargent sitting in a bar talking about their careers. The Gunny say's "I was there at during the Tet Offensive, I was there at Grenada, I was there in Lebanon, I was there in Iraq in the 90's, I was in Iraq again in 2007, and I was there in Afghanistan in 2010." The Chief doesn't even look up from his beer and says, "hmmf, shore duty!" Semper Fi Gunner!
