Went to a all forces school, NAVEODSCOL, Indianhead NOS MD. Lots of good times picking on each service. I know all the loving nicknames, Start off using words like Jarhead, and you invalidate any/all offense. Different uniforms, different rank titles, different missions, but all Brothers in Arms. Have not seen anyone, expecially a Marine, to be that sensitive. Hell, thought the WingNut Zoomies were the kinder gentler branch.

Sorry for any offense, none meant.

Septer Fi, or september six, or whatever.

Any Coasties here? I have a couple of Coastie jokes:

Why do you have to be over 5' tall to join the Coast Guard?

So when your cutter goes down you can wade to shore.

-and my favorite-

How many Coast Guardsmen does it take to do a burial at sea?

12

Six to slide the casket over the side and six to stomp it into the mud.

Thank you, thankyouverymuch... I'm here all week...

as for being brothers in arms, hardly true. coasties, seabees, navy would be trusted. the other branches simply were not trusted, nor should they be

now, my participation in this topic is done. i don't have the patience to continue social discourse with lower order primates

LoL,

We delivered where the groundies asked for it. Why did you request a deliverance and then stick around to wait for it to arrive? Sounds as though you wanted to keep your toes in the mud, a typical jarhead "brain-storm session"?

On the 8th day God created Marines:

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God.
In the beginning was God, and all else was darkness and void, and without form.

So God created the heavens and the Earth.
He created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, so that light might pierce the darkness.

The Earth, God divided between the land and the sea, and these he filled with many assorted creatures.

And the dark, salty, slimey creatures that inhabited the murkey depths of the oceans, God called sailors.

And he dressed them accordingly.

They had little trousers that looked like bells at the bottom.
And their shirts had cute little flaps on them to hide the hickeys on their necks.

He also gave them long sideburns and shabby looking beards.

God nicknamed them "squids" and banished them to a lifetime at sea, so that normal folks would not have to associate with them.

To further identify these unloved creatures, he called them "petty" and "commodore" instead of titles worthy of red-blooded men.

And the flakey creatures of the land, God called soldiers.
And with a twinkle in his eye, and a sense of humor that only he could have, God made their trousers too short and their covers too large.

He also made their pockets oversized, so that they may warm their hands.

And to adorn their uniforms, God gave them badges in quantities that only a dime store owner could appreciate.

And he gave them emblems and crests....and all sorts of shiny things that glittered.... and devices that dangled.
(When you are God you tend to get carried away)

On the 6th day, he thought about creating some air creatures for which he designed a Greyhound bus driver's uniform, especially for Air Force flyboys.

But he discarded the idea during the first week, and it was not until years later that some apostles resurrected this theme and established what we now know as the "wild blue yonder wonders".

And on the 7th day, as you know, God rested.

But on the 8th day, at O dark 30, God looked down upon the earth and was not happy.
God was not happy!

So he thought about his labors, and in his divine wisdom God created a divine creature.
And this he called a Marine.

And these Marines, who God had created in his own image, were to be of the air, and of the land, and of the sea.

And these he gave many wonderful uniforms.
Some were green, some were blue with red trim.

And in the early days, some were even a beautiful tan.
He gave them practical fighting uniforms, so that they could wage war against the forces of Satan and evil.

He gave them service uniforms for their daily work and training.

And he gave them evening and dress uniforms.......
sharp and stylish, handsome things, so that they might promenade with their ladies on Saturday night and impress the hell out of everybody!

He even gave them swords, so that people who were not impressed, could be dealt with accordingly.

And at the end of the 8th day, God looked down upon the Earth and saw that it was good.

But was God happy?
NO!
God was still not happy!

Because in the course of his labors, he had forgotten one thing. He did not have a Marine uniform for himself.

But he thought about it, and thought about it, and finally satisfied himself in knowing that
NOT EVERYBODY CAN BE A MARINE!

I was in Vietnam in 1966-1967 (army) our bunker line at Chu Lai was on one side of highway 1 and the marines had a bunker line on the other side of highway 1, great guys, their attitude was as bad as ours.
