Happy Birthday USMC!

You're two days early, but thanks. [grin]
 
I had the pleasure to work with Marines in Djibouti, Guiana, and Beirut.

Happy birthday, you bunch of whiney pussies... Just kiddin of course. Keep up the good work, and may all marines always have one mag more then they really need.
 
Hey! Marines never whine or complain! But why do you want us to carry more mags...those things are so heavy [crying].
[wink]
 
On the off chance any Marines (or green side corpsmen) in the Amherst area are reading this, the Umass Marine Corps Birthday/Drinkfest will commence at 1830 at ABC, with the cake cutting closer to 2100. You are of course always welcome. I'll be the a**h*** in the cut up frog gear.

Thanks for the heads up!
 
Happy birthday fellow warriors, I'd recommend all civilians stay away from Boston this Saturday. It will be ground zero for a couple thousand of us drunk idiots.
 
Is this ball in boston sat night open to anyone who wanted to buy tickets? I know my company will be there.

Happy birthday Marines.
Once a Marine, always a Marine!
Have a toast our brothers that are still out there in the field.
And remember the empty place setting representing all of our fallen.

The Godfathers to my two oldest daughters are serving overseas right now.
The Godfather to my youngest daughter is out of the Marine Corps now but still lives local.

At 19 years 6 months of service this Marine Corps Ball will be my last.

Last Ball or last one on A/D?

Our Station has been invited (back again for some reason) to the local Marine Corps Ball for a while now. I went last year and will be going again this year, and I cannot understand why some of the junior guys shy away from it so much. Seems to me it's really cool that they invite a bunch of Coasties to teach them how to drink every year, and it would be impolite to turn down the honor of the invitation. And it's at a casino this year, and we voluntold a duty driver for it, so it should be a hell of a time.

Hell of a fun time, and impressive, too. I wish my service took the birthday celebration ceremonies that seriously. Marines definitely do themselves proud with that.
 
MConnelly2 , This is my last one on A/D.
I may have to go with my wife to one or two more of hers, but this is my last one in uniform.
It will be a suit for me from now on.

I would have liked to have picked up another rank, but I've done everything else that I wanted to do as a Marine.
My big mouth, In 2007 in Iraq, I told a CWO that he was full of shit and a racist bastard.
It's my own fault, but If I had to do it again I would do the exact same thing.

Have fun at the MC ball.

Happy Birthday brothers!



I remember when Gen. Neller was my Regimental Commander at the 6th Marines.

At the time, the battalion I was in (3/6) had the highest rate of DWI incidents not only in the Division, but on the whole of Camp Lejeune.

On one occasion (the then) Col. Neller came down to give us the weekend liberty safety brief.

My Bn C.O. looked very humble as his boss came down to give the "don't drink - don't drive" speech.

CAS is overrated. Immediate suppression is all a grunt needs.

Got to disagree with you Marine. The first time your position is being over run and Puff The Magic Dragon exhales multicolored Dragons Breath on the bad guys, that turns the tide for you, you'll appreciate the hell out of Close Air Support. Jet pilots and chopper pilots rule too. Thanks for being there Air Wing.
Happy Birthday Marines.
