    Marines vs. the Navy

    Reply Contact
    A Marine and a sailor were sitting in a bar one day arguing over which was the superior service. 
    After a swig of beer the Marine says, 'Well, we had Iwo Jima '
    Arching his eyebrows, the sailor replies, 'We had the Battle of Midway.'
     
    'Not entirely true', responded the Marine. 'Some of those pilots were Marines, in fact,  Henderson Field on Guadalcanal was named after a Marine pilot killed at the Battle of Midway.'
     
    The sailor responds, 'Point taken.'
    The Marine then says, 'We Marines were born at Tun Tavern!'
    The sailor, nodding agreement, says, 'But we had John Paul Jones.'
    The argument continued until the sailor comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion. With a flourish of finality he says, 'The Navy invented sex!'
    The Marine replies, 'That is true, but it was the Marines who introduced it to women.'

    Not wanting to be a pain in the butt....but I think this is really funny but it belongs in the e-club...and no I am not a moderator...just my humble opinion.

     I can't get into the E-Club forum, but I get into Marines Only forum (go figure), so this is fine with me!

     

    Good one!  

    I came into this world screaming and covered in someone else’s blood and I have no problem with going out the same way.

    I thought it was funny, didn't think it would be a problem.

     

    You know what, I'm done. I won't post anything any more.

    Rick, I think it's HILARIOUS and you post wherever you want as far as I'm concerned.

    Now I've got to pass this on to all the Marines I know who don't read or post here lol.

    Later that night, while I was thinking about the day's somber events, Cpl. Richard A. Mason, an infantryman with Headquarters Platoon, who, in the short time I was with the company became a good friend, told me, "You're still here, don't forget that. Tell your kids, your grandkids, what Sgt. Peralta did for you and the other Marines today."
