Jarheads and squids, oh my!

Of course, fellow servicemen can hack on each other, but we'd never let a civilian hack on someone from a sister service...

 

Ya dang right!!!

of course, you are refering to the navy as the sister service, right?

 

Now, now, Madhat...remember, we are a Department of the Navy....The Men's Department!

 

Im actually looking to get another. Thats my other big hobby besides my truck. Im looking at a AC 700. Ill probably wait a year, because im transferring to greece in Aug for a year. by the way, do you know how they came up with the name :q: Marine:q: ?? Someone threw a handful of S*** threw a fan and it went Marine.

Sister service - all others...

I never understood why, when I was a BMTS instructor, we called the male BMTS flights, when there was more than one, or a TI team shared two flights (platoons/companies), a "sister" flight...but when we had a female flight, it was a "brother" flight. Never made sense to me why we called the groups the opposite of what sex they actually were.

Please don't take that and run with it....I've heard all the Air Force jokes, you can't spring any new ones on me....besides, I graduated from 2nd Marine Division Scout/Sniper School in 1984...Yes, as an Air Force guy, and yes, there were many, many serious fights during my first few weeks there....

 

I got nothin against all the other branches of service, I just like a little friendly banter! "Up we go, into the wild, blue yonder..."

 

Oh, yes, I've always hacked on my brothers in the other services...but lemme tell you, if I heard some yayhoo talking trash on the Marines, Grunts or Squids, I'd mop the floor with him...

 

It's nice to see a diverse crowd here, even if all they did was provide a taxi service to "US" Marines. I flew on my fair share of Air Force birds, and spent entirely too much time in 24 MEU on the Iwo.

 

They all have their place.
Ronin, your link doesn't work.

 

No, the website isn't built yet....I'll do that in my spare time...
