Does that extend to the other branches of the military?:laughing:

FYI, I couldn't serve...no one would have me!

Obviously other branches have there sayings etc. Semper-Fi is however a term unique to the Marine Corps.

Not to imply there is no faithful among the others.

ARMY - Be All You Can Be, Be an Army of One !:thumbsup::

And that is a saying unique to the Army!

Hey Robert, some of us get together at the World AG Expo in Tulare, I think that there may be a couple of newer guys showing up this year, maybe you could make it down to it too. Second week of February, Tue, Wed, Thur. LOTS of tractors and implements to look at.

I could be interested in coming down, it is only about 3 hours from me.

Interesting

Correct me if I'm wrong, but currently the Coast Guard is DoD or DHS isn't it?

It's been under DHS since 2003. It was under the Treasury Department until 1967, when it was switched to the Department of Transportation. (I served from 1965-1969).

I always use that but in a different way...when I'm told "ah, the Marine Corps is a department of the Navy", I respond accordingly.

Love the bantering among the branches. Funny how it subsides during a real conflict...

Do you know why the Navy has the Marines and the Army has a Mule? Well. . . the Army got 1st choice!:laughing:

Sorry, there just weren't enough squids being represented here. We actually love Marines, especially when we are waving goodbye to them as they head to the beach.

...I'm so sorry. Lord forgive me for that there...it's just been so long since I could have some fun that it all slipped out.

You should be :ashamed:. I saw on another thread where you were being praised for your good conduct.
Guess I need my Sarcastic font here.

Must be I'm insecurities that would prompt me to "quote" such a post

That's ok! I'm sure most men are use to having their linen-keepers wave bye' as the men head off to war!

You are right...this is still fun

Hey Jim, I hope westbrooklawn doesn't think this thread failed! Quite the contrary, look at all the personalities spilling out here and having fun without real malice!

Good point ronjhall. You tell him! My feelings are hurt...someone give me a tissue so I can go back to MAMBY PAMBY land!

One thing you learn really early as a squid is that you can laugh, make jokes, and ridicule Marines, but don't ever get them mad enough to fight. They'll kick your butt once to teach you a lesson and another time to make sure you don't forget.:laughing:
