To Do: Work

I love my job.

I love working for the Marine Corps. Crazy bunch they are.

"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!" ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I love that I know everyone in this video. :)

Here is a story...

This is my friend:

(seriously)

This is not a true story about him:

One sunny day in 2009 an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue , where he’d been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, ‘I would like to go in and meet with President Bush. The Marine looked at the man and said, ‘Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here.’ The old man said, ‘Okay’ and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, ‘I would like to go in and meet with President Bush. ‘The Marine again told the man, ‘Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here.’ The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.

The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U. S. Marine, saying ‘I would like to go in and meet with President Bush. ‘The Marine, somewhat agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, ‘Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I’ve told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don’t you understand? ‘The old man looked at the Marine and said, ‘Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it.’

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, ’See you tomorrow.’

This is what is made to look like my friend said this...

Doesn't that suck?

On a Totally Unrelated Note...

I think this guy is sooo cool. Like the coolest of the cool.

This is General James T. Conway.

He is the Commandant of the Marine Corps.

He is everything that a Marine should be.

...and always so nice and friendly.

My Obsession with Marines

Gaurd means the President is home, originally uploaded by Tom O'Neill.

This One met a whole bunch of handsome Marines the other night.

This One will be hanging out with those Marines this Friday at Finn McCools.

This One is VERY excited!
