A recruit got roasted for having an earring in boot camp. This was in Receiving, so you can imagine it giving adding salt to the wound a whole new meaning. Needless to say, he had that earring confiscated.

Thank you for your support. If possible, I'd want to teach in a Christian school. Kids need a Godly foundation.

I'm thinking the lower grades. 3rd being highest.

Got married, working in the VA for now until I get my elementary teaching certification, and my wife and I are having a baby girl in June.

He's refusing treatment. Operating would be useless and dangerous. Chemo would just drain him. They're not sure it's gonna work. They sent him home with painkillers.

I am a Marine but I finished my service in 2011.

It has spread pretty far. The doctor's not getting his hopes up. But he's considering radiation and chemo. He can't operate.

I will and us Leathernecks have some ground rules for dating our daughters. Lord know my dad has, only his number 10 was a rice paddy near Hue. Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. Rule Two: You...

Darn right. When I was in Parris Island, my platoon passed a female platoon. The female drill instructors are scarier than the males and my platoon had SSgt. Hernandez, one of the meanest mothers to wear a smokey cover, as our Kill Hat.

Yup. But God help her if her hair isn't squared away while in uniform.

Well, I met my wife when I was 16. We worked in Red Lobster together. Began dating soon after. It became long distance after I joined the Marine Corps. First three months of boot camp, then infantry school, two combat deployments that lasted a year each, and long times being stationed stateside...

In the US, female service members are allowed to have long hair but they have to tie it above their shoulders.

Were you in 'Nam? My dad was there. '66 - '69. He was also in the Corps.

There's no such thing as "ex-Marines" (except for someone who's dishonorably discharged) and the M in Marine is always capitalized. The title of Marine is yours forever once you've earned it. I assume you mean veterans. Well, some veterans grow their hair out. I personally like to keep my hair...

Marines never have a bad hair day :D.
