So I'm heading out of town in a few moments for some USMC Birthday related festivities. Since I'll be away, I'm just going ahead and posting this early.
Happy Birthday brothers/sisters. Here's to 237 years. OOH-RAH!
Semper Fi.

Happy birthday, Thanks to all who served.
Yep.....Happy 237th for us.
I use that second image at the end of my own personal DVD documentary of my era/experiences.
Feliz Viernes....carry on.

^^ This -- And a thank you to you all.
Grandfather was a marine at the Chosin Reservoir during Korea. 14 yr anniversery of his passing just occured this week. There is no doubt he was one of the (if not the) baddest man I ever met.
Def happy bday to all of you
Brave and honorable men and women! Worthy of respect and admiration. I have a nephew who served in the Marines, two tours of duty in Iraq. One purple heart! A fine young man.

I also knew a Chosin Brother who made it out of the frigid war. I'll be tipping one (or two) in honor to your grandfather and all other Brothers on the 10th.....AND the 11th.

Sonofabitch....your Father is now added to my [I]tipping[/I] list.
BTW...that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me as you really nailed that 'MF' part. :)
Back to topic....
Happy Birthday Marines. A huge thank you to all that have/are service.
[QUOTE=eomrat;976953213]First - Your posts are supposed to end with "Carry on". Second - I meant to emphasize "Glorious". (Of course, you knew that)
That's a great pic :)
What's that saying....'a gesture is worth a thousand words'?....something like that.
Carry on weed hoppers...
Happy Birthday Marines!
237 years. That is one heck of a legacy. Outstanding. I hope you all celebrate. :)
No longer early on the east coast... happy birthday Devil Dogs!!

[B]SP1966[/B].....good vids to watch with my morning mud.
The Silent Drill Team is quite impressive as always.
The boot camp vid brings back some vivid memories....and some terrifying ones for an 18 years old I might add.
That's MCRD San Diego with the quite famous yellow footprints.
My young, dumb ass was standing on a pair of those muthers on 9/1/66.
I guess I really was that young at one time.
[B]acrawlingchaos[/B].....their default combat attire is certainly more impressive than it was in my era during the Holocene Epoch.
If I get brave enough I might post one of my pics for a stark comparison.
Thanks to those that chimed in.
Carry on.....mas cafe para mi.
Happy Birthday---------Guardians of Freedom

Watching those bootcamp videos always brings a smile to my face!! I took a week or two to adjust, but after that it was actually a lot of fun, very challenging, yet I can honestly say I enjoyed it! :) The other thing about those bootcamp videos that brings about a chuckle is reading the comments from the limp wrist, liberal weenies talking crap, they would wet their panties if they found themselves there!!
Semper Fi you glorious bastards!

Ain't that the truth on all points.
It's hell earning that coveted EGA.....but I wouldn't trade it for anything plus there's few of us left.
Carry on....
