My dad passed 15 years ago and we still have Marine memorabilia scattered around the house. I put my tie tack centered betweent the third and fourth and the tie is always in a full Windsor knot, just like Dad taught me. There were some things in our house that were just not done any way but the Marine way.
You forgot one. "The Navy only exists to haul Marines to where they need to be." Dad used to love using that one on CPOs.

Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.
I was told once that the only reason why the Marines existed was so that sailors would have someone to dance with?????Originally Posted by kbproctor

I have the pleasure of knowing several former Marines. I made the mistake of saying "ex-Marine" to one of them. He told me that "once a Marine always a Marine, there are no ex-Marines."
I grew up as a Navy brat with about one hundred Marines stationed on the base. There certainly was a difference between a 20 year old in sailor and a 20 year old Marine.
Nothing wrong with CMS in my book.
