    You might be a Marine

    You might be a Marine

    • You might be a Marine if you have ran a marathon because you were bored.
    • You might be a Marine if you did one thing one minute only to do the exact opposite 20 minutes later and totally undo what you previously did.
    • You might be a Marine if you ended up with two different size boots after a squad bay tornado.
    • You might be a Marine if you carry “Mrs Dash” seasoning to improve your meals.
    • You might be a Marine if you can sleep anywhere anytime rain or shine.
    • You might be a Marine if you have worn the same clothes for a week while chasing badguys in Afghanistan.
    • You might be a Marine if you consider dropping artillery as a “deterrent”. 1st rule in Marine artillery, only bring artillery if you want to kill everyone.
    • You might be a Marine if you have humped 20 miles with 40+ lbs on your back, sat in an ambush position while it rained sideways (forest gump voice) and watched every critter make a nest under your poncho.
    • You might be a Marine if you don’t take “no” for an answer and shun those that use the word “cant.”
    • You might be a Marine if you adapt and improvise, fix anything with 100mph speed tape and wire while making MacGyverlook like a girl scout.
    • You might be a Marine if you giggle like a little girl with excitement when the third and fourth JDAM slam into the enemy’s position as you sit hunkered down danger close.
    • You might be a Marine if you showed up at the hotel you were staying at after the Marine Corps Ball with nothing on but your dress blue trousers a cowboy hat and a new tattoo.
    • You might be a Marine if you have traded two Main meals for a lemon pound cake
    • You might be a Marine if you can construct three different lean to shelters at night with it raining of course.
    • You might be a Marine (in Afg) if you have broken an E-tool on rocks while digging a fighting position.
    • You might be a Marine if you have read “Message to Garcia”.
    • You might be a Marine if you have fallen asleep standing up.
    • You might be a Marine if you know your boot camp drill instructors names still.
    • You might be a Marine if you move your house & family every three years
    • You might be a Marine if you ever crushed someone for a jacked up uniform
    • You might be a senior enlisted Marine if you have ever crushed a Marine for having his music so loud in his car the blood vessels in your eyes ruptured
    • You might be a Marine if you have done multiple combat tours, worked, sweated, bled, encouraged, lead, some of Americas citizens that became the world’s finest.
    • You might be a Marine if you if you are always faithful (Semper Fidelis)

    During the monsoon of 68-69 they were rationing c-rats because the choppers couldn't fly and the convoys were being attacked. At An Hoa a bud and I stripped down and went through the wire at supply and threw 5-6 cases of c's and 2 cases of long rats over the wire.

    Going through all the meals in the cases of c's there was only 1 pound cake per case of c's. Bet you all didn't know that.
