From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;

We have fought in ev'ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;

In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;

You will find us always on the job--
The United States Marines.

BUMP for ya I'm curious on this myself

[HardJedi]

no. at least we didn't used to. Went through alot of other crap though. Cold weather in Norway. Desert in 29 Palms. Believe me, if you get stationed at Lejune, in july, those swamps can be as bad as alot of jungles.
