Even when I was in the Marines, I never wanted a tattoo. The money I would have used on the ink would have taken away from my drinking. As far as piercings, that was always a no no in the Corps. I was duty NCO one night and the Officer of the Day came into my office pulling a young private who...

I believe that pic is from one of the "Pirates of the Carribean" rides at Disneyworld or Disneyland

Ah, that'd be cool. A sword... but I'd have to find a vintage one that goes with my '30s/'40s fixation! Methinks the wife (and the police) would say "no"... Wives and cops....... the killjoys of life

I'm trying all sorts of tea when I can. Earl Grey ranks at the top of the list. I also have in my stash at the present time Chinese Green tea, Irish breakfast,pekoe, and I believe I have a small amount of Prince of Wales. My favorite cup however is a half quart military canteen cup.

I carry a Camillus military "campers" knife. I've decided long ago, when I find a good knife, I stick with it .

My daughter has seen the movie twice, and raves about it. I think that's enough for me to never want to see it.

Wingnut , try out Medal of Honor Pacific Assault. Starts out in Pearl Harbor, and follows several Marine ops on Makin Atoll, Guadalcanal , and Tarawa. EXCELLENT game! And Doc Strange? Semper Fi to mom

He says it's very realistic, but he's not really informed enough to make such a call. (But, for example, I was impressed to hear that the empty clips fly out of the Garand M1s after eight shots.) Yes, after 8 shots the clips do eject with the realistic "ting" sound. I know this...
