"They Have Always Defended Each Other..."

"...and this nation. They still do."

Jesus, I love you guys and the big brotherhood I'm privileged to be a small part of.

Brotherhood is right. Today I got a text message inviting me to a get together today. The message didnt' say who it was from. When I called to find out, I learned it was from one of my Marines from several years ago. I hadn't heard from him since he dropped to the IRR with no notice and thought I'd never hear from him again. What a nice surprise, and I was happy to hear, contrary to rumors, that all was well with him.

Aw, man, that's GREAT! It's always been true that any Jarhead, any time, anywhere (with the exception of a few notable losers) can strike up a sea story convention with any other Jarhead, whatever their age or MOS differences.

That's part of why I enjoyed the campaign office so much. It was a distinct pleasure getting to use the lingo freely again and having everyone understand.

I always wind up sniffling. ALWAYS. SO I really didn't have any choice what to post.
