The past few days I have been able to observe Marine, Air Force and Army units go about their business on this base. I have been reminded in just how professional the Marines are when compared with their sister services. It is not even close. The Army and Air Force do not salute each other (and certainly not a Navy officer) and they wear their PT gear everywhere. The Marine wears the proper uniform, renders the proper greeting and walks around as if he/she has a purpose in life. The Marine also tends to fit in their uniform with a bit more ease ;) I certainly feel blessed that I was attached to a Marine unit for this deployment instead of say the Army. The Marines will definitely take care of me.
Remember that this Saturday is talk like a pirate day arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

ReplyDeleteOK Mark, think google is finally agreeing with me, about as palatable as MRE left out in a snowbank. Understand you are still able to access you home email account. Will put you back on the list for all the great technical stuff. A decent article in the SD UnionTrib today about ACORN. Enjoyed your assessment of the 'troops' -- will pass to the USAF. LOL
