" U.S. Marines - Certified Counselors to the 72 Virgins Dating Club."

You probably missed the new stories about that. Seems someone had found some ancient scrolls of the Koran when they were excavating. The scrolls were sent to a top notch facility and carefully examined. After translating the texts, it turns out that a person doesn't get 72 virgins after all. They get a 72 year old virgin.

There is only one weapon in the US Military Arsenal that can decimate a Grid Square faster than an MLRS, and that is a Nuke...

"Beat your face!" A fairly standard saying for push-ups until you say it to a day one Private and they actually start hitting themselves in the face.

I flew on the EC-130 aircraft. We had a big EM signature since we were a jammer and the C-130 has a huge radar signature. Our motto:

Jam Until Impact

Every time my buddy comes home for a short visit, he always says "I'll take the fattie". Not something he learned in the Army but he says that when he goes out with the guys, there are always a few willing to jump on the grenade...and for some reason he always argues with them trying to biggest one. I think he just likes the stories.

A few of my favorite Gen. George S. Patton Jr. quotes

"If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."

"It’s the unconquerable soul of man, not the nature of the weapon he uses, that insures victory."

"Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way. "

"Live for something rather than die for nothing."

"May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't."

"Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men."

"No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair."

"Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men."

"Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets."


And as a former Navy Airedale that spent a lot of time on a carrier..."damnit, there's JP4 in the fresh water system again!!"

Some of these are quotes from others....
If there is a way in, there is a way out
"We are Airborne, we are supposed to be surrounded." Maj Dick Winters,
Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Hearing that just makes me want to punch babies and kittens.
When in doubt, empty your magazine.
If at first you don't succeed, call in an air strike.
"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things." Lieutenant General Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller

"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." Lieutenant General Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." Gen George S. Patton Jr.

Im sure after i get a couple hours of shut eye, Ill be able to think of some more.
