40 Hours Instead of 40 Minutes

[Mongoose]

Dave, I need you to find someone who can rig me up a tri-pod for my m-60. I need one with extra long legs. So I can shoot without getting out of my wheelchair. Preferably, one with wheels, so I can just pull it around with me. Top will have his hands full carrying my oxygen tank and 10 belts of ammo.

[Sgt Jim]

I can help,all i need is a screwdriver and hammer,some wire and duct tape and i can keep them top secret helos in the air,maybe!!!!

[USMC2571]

Billy, that's a wonderful sight to imagine....

Jim, you just joined the B team, stand by for mission orders----someday

In the meantime we all just have to go about our daily business, just in case the orders never come

[Sgt Jim]

Almost for got,still got to push start them.

[Zulu 36]

Hire me a gun-bearer to carry my rifle and extra ammo. I can still handle a pistol. He can carry a few belts of ammo for Mongoose too.

Dave no matter where you're going you'll need a translator. Tony can insult people in 15 different languages including Canadian eh?

[USMC2571]

Well, Dan, Tony (HST to you folks) is a good good friend of mine and has been for some months now, since we both started out on the wrong foot way back when, so I don't know if he is still the insulting type or not.----of course he still is, but I don't know if he speaks any other languages

I doubt if the SEALS had a translator with them, so we wouldn't need one.

We have to get a gun-bearer for Chris, so we can have the supply guy do that, TazMatt, who volunteered to do all the supply work.

This bothers me, no phone calls yet from the ones who authorize these missions. Probably a phone company glitch, Dan

No doubt!! I know from my unreliable souses errr sources, that Team Geriatric mission will include repelling and river forging. Gonna be a tough one gentleman

If you pull this off you all will be sure bets to be awarded the Illuminati Medal. Too bad Trey won't be there to see it

[USMC2571]

Commander, we can't do things like forging a river or rapelling down a cliff.
They'll have to cut us some slack on the mission they'll give us. Has to be a flat place, no stairs, no running or jumping or forced marches.
Landing zone should be no more than 20 feet from the target, things like that, Dan, if they want us to be successful

[Mongoose]

Whats kinda eating on me , just a little bit. Is so far aint but three of us gonna have weapons. Me, Zulu, and Lep. What happens if theres a whole shetpot of em in there? You'll act like were gonna break in, send messages back and forth, fvck with the women, and sit around and eat pork rinds. I thought we were actually gonna kill somebody. I didnt know we were going to the Marine Corps Ball. I guess Ill wear my dress blues.

[USMC2571]

Well, it took the SEALS only 40 minutes to do what they did, Billy. They didn't make it an all day affair. Sure it would take us a little longer, maybe up to a few days, but still, we would all have weapons. The ONLY thing different about us is we are much older than they are, and we haven't trained in over 40 years, so besides that, we are good to go, if needed.

I kind of like the image of you wearing dress blues, with that beard, and firing your old M-60. Kind of a nice recruiting poster for the young-uns someday.

I kinda like one of you wearing your Air Force Officers uniform. If that dont incite em to join the Corps, nothing will.

[USMC2571]

Ha ha, Billy, very very good, as always. This is why I dread sparring with you like this. LOL---I can't win.

[R Landry]

Indy reaches for his weapon, but is quickly outgunned by Belloq's henchmen. He is saved when Sallah's children run in, surround him and usher him out, as Belloq states: "Next time, Indiana Jones, it will take more than children to save you." Outside, Sallah brags about his children: "Better than the United States Marines, eh?"

If our 40-hour commando team can't hack it, we'll deploy Sallah's kids.

[USNAviator]

Great news Dave, I've been temporally taken off the retired list and have requested duty with Team G

I've talked with the powers that be and your Team will be getting the best ground support aircraft the Navy will lend the Marines.

I'll be wing man to Col. Willy "Wildman" Wonka and we'll be flying the sleek bird below.
