Good morning, Snippy and everyone at the Freeper Foxhole.

We had a great HS B-Ball homecoming Friday night. Both our boys and girls teams won.

It wasn't so much fun at the Great Plains Coliseum in Lawton though, A HS B-ball doubleheader between Lawton High and Lawton Ike was interrupted in the boys game with 1:59 in third quater by a fight in the stands. It escalated to the point they had to call in the police. They used mace to break up the fight and the coliseum was evacuated and the game delayed for 10 minutes. It resumed without any spectators.

Not the proudest of moments for the Lawton Public Schools.

The weather's been nice the last few days but it's supposed to be windy today. Upper 50's forecast.

OU and Texas play in NCAA Basketball down in Austin at Noon on CBS.

How are things where you are?

Good morning Snippy. Yesterday was the biggest plane that ever flew, today the smallest.

El Chuparosa (The Hummingbird) built by Ray Hegy. 13' wingspan, 14' length.

As long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper. —2 Chronicles 26:5


Blessed Savior, make me humble,
Take away my sinful pride;
In myself I'm sure to stumble,
Help me stay close by Your side

You won't get indigestion by swallowing your pride

Good Morning Snippy. Excellent thread, I can't ever remember a Marine having anything bad to say about a Corpsman.'

Anywhere, Anytime

God has a way of directing our lives.
In the Navy Hospital Corps, his love surely thrives.

I don't know why we were chosen for the medical field.
But, God's reasons were soon revealed.

Compassion and strength that we never knew we possessed,
Was given to us by God, so the way to heal could be accessed.

He chose both men and women to serve,
Then gave us what it takes and a lot of nerve.

The Navy Corpsman can express his innermost feelings,
Like when he holds a sick baby in his arms and his love is so revealing.

Where does the courage come from, a Corpsman will never boast.
He will never back down when his comrades need him the most.

The Navy Corpsman does not fear the mud and the grime.
He is ready to go Anywhere, Anytime.

How can he charge into adversity and face certain death ?
With nothing but his-unit one and a prayer on his breath.

A Corpsman's responsibility is great, but his charges he will protect.
He will look after the sick and dying and never neglect.

When he is finally alone and there is no one to know,
The tears in his eyes will finally show.

What is on the Corpsman's mind is between him and his God.
It will never be revealed, no matter where on earth he will trod.

On judgement day, God will probably say, Corpsman Up! your place has been reserved.
For all the deeds you did while on earth, your heavenly reward is well deserved.

O.W.(Smokey)Cleveland
