That's funny Jamie. I just came in from a trip around the corner to the little store where I saw a guy trying to run across the road. If he'd had a belt or suspenders, it wouldn't have been worth the show but without them it was hysterical. He didn't seem to understand why his 'sport' shoes weren't moving very fast. I was tempted to gun my motor to see if it would help him in the speed department.

The thing with the Marine's is political and everyone knows it. I'd advise those who were thinking Semper Fi to just change their mind and join any other branch. I remember seeing some photo's of missles during the Gulf War with Battle Flags on them as a 'personal message' from our troops from the South. One of my Uncles had a Battle Flag and Old Glory tat with an eagle in front of them. Guess the Marines weren't that PC in the 1940's. He retired a Master Gunnery Sgt. with his tat intact.
