Thanks Warchild!! But we like the dirty work it's what we do best.


"6297J: Yes, what do Marines dream about?? Fluffy kittens I bet"........................ No, we dream about defending the Constitution. We swore to defend it with our lives if necessary. We dream about defending the document that gives our family the freedom to be the best they can be, to become anything that they can dream of. That freedom allows us to stand up against tyrants like King George, Adolf Hitler for example. That's what Marines dream about, it's what we live for; we don't dream about fluffy kittens.:USA-flag:
 
Go on - I've heard you dream about those nice young men in Sailors uniforms :naturesm:

If I had a hat on it would be off to all of you for that... but be honest. Never a single dream about kittens?

For the young, single Marines, how about dreams of the subject of the nose art on that Corsair? ;)
 
It's a good paint:icon29:

Lazerbrainz2k3: I always try to be honest. I joined the Marine Corps to defend my nation, ie my family. Most people join the Marine Corps for a reason/belief not a job. As my DI said, "why did you think we handed you an F'ing rifle......?":engel016: I did "dream" about women all the time (still do) but I still realized what my job was.......killing bad guys first, then Miller and skirt chasing time! :icon_lol:

I would never suggest otherwise. As with most non-serving people here, no doubt, I personally know a number of individuals who do serve and I'm quite proud of them. I always had a close relationship with my paternal grandfather who served proudly in the Merchant Marine (even though he was somewhat bitter at his brothers' role being downplayed so much), and when my last grandmother passed away recently I was told she wanted me specifically to have the flag draped upon his coffin which I have on display, just as they would have wanted.

Perhaps to an extent it could be said that I do "serve" (in a civillian way), as I work for Boeing designing those Ospreys your brothers in arms depend upon, and I can tell you there's a wonderful patriotic enthusiasm there knowing we need to do our best because your lives depend on us. It's a serious responsibility, but the people I work with are quite good and take that responsibility very seriously.

I just wanted to make sure you were still human, thinking about the other important (though admittedly less so) things in life. ;)

To and extent?? I was in nam when the M-16s were mishmashed in with the M-14s and they were killing a lot of kids. I used a Garand if that says anything.. What you guys do for our kids is no less than what they do in the field. If you dont dop your job, they cant dotheirs, and they are depending on that osprey to get them in and out quickly and safely, not to mention the c-130s and other military stuff boeing does.. You guys should be proud. You keep our kids butts alive and able to do the mission.. You guys bring em home too. Perhaps thats the most important thing..

So ok, enough of the teary eyed off topic from me.. sorry..
 
I dream of a time we aren't needed, LOL but that's a pipe dream. Sweet paint! :ernae:
