    USN here, but served with a lot of Marines. I have heard all the jokes, so I'll self incriminate.

    You know the lowest form of Marine life?

    You know the Corps has been diluted by the prevailing political BS that I wouldn't recommend anyone join now.
    And I love my Corps.

    I was at MCAS Santa Ana in early 77 for my IMA turbo shaft engine school.. My immediate remembrance, the first thing that I remember was driving up to the hanger and hearing that Elvis was found dead.

    They used to bring the Goodyear blimp into our hanger to work on it.

    You're exactly right. It's not a mistake and it's not incompetence, it's absolutely intentional! The military branches can't even meet their recruitment goals. Why?... Because the real war fighters "the real alpha males" (RECON, Special Forces, Navy Seals), are being forced out. Again, why?... because they refused to take the COVID shot!?!?! Meanwhile, how many thousands or millions of illegal aliens are walking into our country over the southern border with no vaccinations?!?!? You gotta be kidding me!! I have friends that say we wouldn't recognize today's Marine Corps. The DoD is to busy designing flight suits for pregnant pilots and giving classes on pronouns!

    Yea I just quoted this because its so effin true..

    Sounds like someone needs to lay off the sauce. Using your grape for common sense certainly went out the window with the introduction to qanondotcom. Just because u watched it on youtube doesn't make it reality. Seek help. RGDS!

    I knew you were sensitive, but you're actually quite emotional!

    Good night, Chesty, wherever you are.

    My father served under Chesty (1st Battalion, 7th Marines) in the Pacific (Battle of Peleliu among multiple others) during WWII. He truly admired him and spoke highly of the Marine he was.

    If my father was still here, he would say: Semper Fi brothers.
