Semper Fi...Life has been good! I was only a reserve so I'm not exactly what you probably meant but I would say that what was learned in the Corps are values and work ethics that can be applied to anything in life.
Semper Fi Devil Dog, I am not a Marine but my brother is, he is currently doing a 5-6 months deployment in Afghanistan. Today he finds out if he is having a boy or girl, my guts tells me is another Devil pup lol
Also have a cousin in Virginia he is a Sgt not sure what he is doing. OP my brother birthday is coming up any idea what is something good to send him other than food lol
