Some of the toughest Marines I've encountered have been Marine Snipers. Much different than Army Snipers. These guys were like Marine Recon on steroids ... 'cept they were all scrawny smallish guys ... like you and I.

All in good fun. Listen though it - pretty funny

Is it time for a poem?

I think it's sexy talking about pizza - as long as it's not a guy.

the best pizza i've ever had was in a restaurant nestled in the mountains of Marinello, Italy.

The best I had in Italy was at the Coliseum Snack Bar.

OK. Thank you.

Oh, hello. There is a young stray kitty outside my window.

1. Those are beautiful.
2. So are the nails.

Oh ma, that means a lot to me... I mean, every compliment that comes from you, even if it's about the nails is greatly appreciated

Mary Lou is awesome. She sewed this absolutely wonderful, Wonder Woman cape for her granddaughter and now she showed me a similar Wonder Woman cape she made for her granddaughter's doll.

My oldest three siblings came fairly quickly - they are all about a year and half apart. Then between my brother and my sister, there is a four year difference, and then another four year difference between her and me. So from me to the oldest sister is an 11-year gap. There was a fairly short period of time when I was old enough to tag along with everyone and my oldest sister wasn't too old to be busy with college applications and such. We used to do a lot of stuff together.

Thanks Charlie. That was fun. I'm not a veteran, but I spent a lot time hanging with Marines. One of my best stories is on the USS Oriskany. We, (ARVN & US forces), were conducting joint operations in the South China Sea. In the Bridge of the Oriskany was a Marine Master Sergeant who was assigned as liaison/coordinator between the Navy and Marines. It was a three day operation and the Admiral in charge kept calling the Master Sergeant, Chief. One day after call the Master Sergeant, Chief, the Admiral apologised by saying, he was sorry but if the Master Sergeant was in the Navy he would be a Chief. [As in a Chief Petty Officer.]

The Marine to the Admiral, "Sir, No Sir."
At which point everything ... I mean everything ... on the bridge froze ... even the radio went quiet and all eyes, not the faces just the eyes, snapped to the Admiral and Master Sergeant. The Admiral looked at the Marine and ask him to explain himself.

"Sir," said the Master Sergeant still at attention, "If I was in the Navy I'd be a F***ing Admiral."

At which point the bridge was filled Naval personnel either snorting coffee as they attempted to restrain themselves or just blowing coffee all over the bulkheads and deck.

Goodnight Marija.
