Oh Marine

I was asking what boot camp was like to one of our Marines who just turned 21 a couple of days ago. He told me, “Take a port-o-john and put about 5 guys in it. That’s what it’s like.” Then he looked at his arm which he was flexing. So I guess it wasn’t much fun.

This guy will jump at any opportunity that might lead to him shooting his guns. He told me the trainers curse and drill the ‘you are a killing machine’ message into them. So I asked him if he used to be well mannered, calm and had a clean mouth. He told me he used to be really shy. The second marine pipes in and adds “yeah, he used to be the type of guy who didn’t kiss on the first date (pause) unless the girl was really cute.” Then the previously shy Marine makes an inappropriate comment about what he does now on a first dates. Insert more flexing.

The marines are my favorite, they are like kids who try soooo hard to be good but just are destined to do naughty things. Like a puppy who pooped on the rug, it feels really bad, but just couldn’t help it. You can’t be mad cause they are so cute. It’s hilarious. Oh yeah, and there is flexing.
