I remember that one. BTW there is a thread on TL similar to this regarding USMC myths.

Sorry I forgot to respond to your post. You sound like the punk kid that Mommy and Daddy doted on, sucked mommy's tit until 7 years old unless you were sucking your thumb. There is nothing funny...

The punks these days who spend time in jail for drugs, are arrested for theft, avoid a job because they want to "party", they who have no respect for others. The worthless ones of society who care...
