    I still can't walk on grass or carry anything in my right hand. I also feed my belt in from the left, and feel weird not wearing a belt.

    Yep...me either. Just habit huh? I still use Kiwi black boot polish to buff my boots for work once a week or more. But I have to go in the garage to do it...it gets all over! The smell takes me back! AAAhhhh....memories! LOL!

    Does anyone sing Boot Camp Cadence?

    I am almost always early. Thought I got it from my father, WWII Navy. Maybe it's the Marine Corp's. I sometimes sing boot camp cadence--Does anyone do that? I can't stand putting my hands in my pocket and sometimes tell others not to do it.
    I look down on people, who are not Marines.

    "2.My family serves up their food before me.
    (My crew eats first,Fleet Marine thing)"
    LOL, forgot about that one, Funny, I never eat until I know there is enough for everyone. [Having a teenage boy, SOO many times I have said, "No, I don't want it , you can have it.] Missed out on a lot of seconds.

    I always push my chair in after chow, even in restaraunts. It really nags me when other don't. Just one of those things.

    Oh, I still freakin' sing cadence. Both marching and running cadence. It is such a regular thing that people that know hardly even take notice.

    I have given this a lot of thought, and I don't believe I have one bad habit form the Corps! Well except that when I get around another Marine I tend to use that Boot Camp mouth and language, that is! LMAO!

    DANG IT, I have the same problems as you all do plus some I guess, huh?

    Semper Fi,

    Dave

    Hey sparkie, I keep one in the garage to clean the wheels on my truck, one under the kitchen sink to clean the faucet and drain strainers, and one out in my workshop to polish the brass stamps I put on my woodworking projects. Love that stuff!!!!

    They are little strings that hang off your clothing. You cut them, or better burn them off.

    The over run of thread that that sticks out of the seems when they stitch the garment.

    Yeah, you don't remember anyone ever talking about fleas repelling of those irish pennants? LOL. That was my signature saying to my Marines when they needed a little assistance with squaring themselves away. LOL
