AD Marine Corps, 7+ years, working on 30! DI now, avionics tech in the fleet.

I can't believe the Navy and Coast Guard are on the same line!

Navy Seabee here, NMCB 3, Port Huenueme, Ca.

Tye

P.S. You guys know why the minimum height requirement for the Coast Guard is 6ft? So they can walk to shore if the boat sinks...... My Coast Guard buddy told me that!

Did ya here the one about the sailor and the jarhead?

This sailor was using the head and a jarhead walked in as the sailor was finishing up. The sailor started to walk out and marine yelled, "Hey sailor, the corp taught me to wash my hands after using the head!" The sailor replied "The Navy taught me not to pee on my hands!"

20 years, 5 months. Just retired in August. And judging by the poll results with 22.22% being Marine Corps we have a pretty good showing here considering that only 10% of the military are Marines.
