What Is A United States Marine?
ReplyDeleteI am 233 years of romping, stomping, hell, death, destruction. I am the finest fighting machine the world has ever seen. I was born in a bomb crater. My mother was an M-16 and my Father is the Devil. Each moment that I live is an additional threat upon your life.
I am a rough looking, roving soldier from the sea. I am cocky, self centered, and overbearing. I do not know the meaning of fear for I am fear itself. I am a green amphibious monster made of blood and guts that arose from the ashes of my enemies, festering on anti-Americans throughout the globe. When ever it may arise and when my time comes, I will die a glorious and grotesque death on the battlefield, giving my life for the Corps, Mom, and Apple Pie.
I stole the Eagle from the Air Force, the Anchor from the Navy, and the rope from the Army. Then on the 7th day, while God rested, I overran His perimeter and took over the Globe and I have been protecting it ever since!
I live like a Soldier, talk like a Sailor, and slap the shit out of both of them. Soldier by day, lover by night, drunkard by choice, and...
MARINE BY THE GRACE OF GOD ALONE!

My goal is to do a whole series and maybe even a book.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Thank you very much.
Some of them will start showing up in the weekly SemperToons soon!
Guns out
If your kids respond by saying, "SNAP!", when you say, "EYEBALLS!"
ReplyDeleteYou're probably a Marine IF you find your kids in a crowded mall by barking for them.
ReplyDeleteYou're probably a Marine IF you have pullup bars installed in each of your kids door jams.
You're probably a Marine IF your kids count to ten by going 1, 2, 3, 1... 1, 2, 3, 2... 1, 2, 3, 3...
You're probably a Marine IF you're favorite cartoon in the world is SemperToons!
Semper Fi, Hank
Keep up the good work Brother!
You're probably a Marine if:
ReplyDeleteYou can sing ALL THREE verses of the Marine's Hymn
After retirement, you still call the bathroom the head.
You announce to your children that it's time for chow, and they understand.
When members of other services think you are insane, you respond, "Thank you!"
More to follow as I think of them.
Semper Fi,
Michael
YOU ARE PROBABLY A MARINE IF:
ReplyDeleteYou'd a soon sleep wrapped in a tarpaulin as pajamas -- you sleep in your skivvies.
If you wear your hat indoors, you fear that God will strike you dead -- if your Drill Instructor doesn't get you first.
Marine for life if..
ReplyDeleteEvery answer to a yes or no question is an animal sound
you have more combat boots then any other footware
you have spent more time in cammies and green on green then in normal clothes
everytime you see a long hair on a guy, peace loving hippies, and any other liberals all you can think is "NASTIES"
you own a bulldog named "chesty"
you take pride when someone calls the Marines a bunch of idiots who love only death and destuction.
any of your stories start with "So there I was in Tailand."

You might be a Marine if your elderly, Cold war air force, friends in their 80s at church notice that your moustache is going beyond the corners of your mouth and the hair on the back of your head can be grasped be the thumb and forefinger. In reply you can only answer that you've only been retired for about 7 years, it's. 1 degree outside here in Kansas, and the commandant could be calling me any day. Sent from my retired Corpsman, wife's, account. Lucky me!!
