"Marines were "the firstus with the mostus" "

I never expected anything different!

I tell all the youngsters I talk with that if they want their country to give them an education and prepare them for later life after the military, choose the Army or the Air Force.
If they want to serve their country instead of letting this country serve them, join the United States Marine Corps.
The Corps has never forgotten it's purpose:
To protect the United States of America.

COB1:
There were a lot of us undergrads who were vets. We would sit around talking about our various branchs of service, but one fellow (looked kinda like Mongo in Blazing Saddles) would get overly excited if we said anything negative about the USMC, as if we had said something bad about his mother. We would sometimes sing the Marine Hymn to the tune of Oh My Darling Clementine, which drove him nuts.

I heard the Col. on Hanniety's radio program today. He was talking about his statements regarding the Marines. He said the reason the Marines are the best, is because they stick to their values and don't compermise them. Marines are not afraid of committment. They train knowing they will be in combat one day. He said, when it comes to training women, the separate them from the men, because they know it's the best thing to do. All and all, Hack had nothing but praise for the Marines.
