Love the monkey avatar. Just never know what I am going to see by your name, Steve.

I will keep you guessing! You just never know.

Here is R.Lee Ermry from the Grico commercial is a sanitized speech. Unfortunately that is pretty much how it is today for recruits. Just click on any link to the right for a Full Metal Jacket snippet (Not for kids or the Faint of heart) what it used to be like. Us old Marines are not liking what is happening to out Corps.

I know a lot of the Citadel Graduates go into the Army. I do not recall every meeting any, but I do know several VMI graduates that I served with. At the time I was in, 3-10% of the Naval Academy grads p[ted for the Marine Corps. Not sure what the percentage is now.

I didn't realize that. I always associate him with the Marine Corps because of his father, who was a Marine fighter pilot. I've read every one of his books except for The Boo, which was a tribute to the Commandant of Cadets at The Citadel. He has since been welcomed back at The Citadel and delivered an amazing 2001 graduation speech. He speaks a lot of his father in his books, and The Great Santini is one of his most famous books. Pat Conroy didn't serve in the Marine Corps, but he has great respect for those who did.

I just watched the video. Too funny. But have a question.... I thought the Marine thing was Ooh-Rah or something like that. Not AAAAAAAH?

It is ooh rah for the Corps. In Commercials and movies, you never know what you will hear or get!
