Just teasing you, of course, Swathy. I spent a couple days serving, and generally had a ball. There were times when Brand X was highly indignant and in the wire that I did question the wisdom of my choice of vocations, though.
While the Marines are a grand cluster of lads, of course we have a joke or three about them, as they have about us ground pounders. For instance. Take 3 Marines, stark nekid (I speak Southern when needed!), put them on a bare sand island in the middle of nowhere, and also put One Each, Packaged Individual, Anvil, on the same island. Come back three days later, and the anvil will be broken and one part will be lost.
Now, do tell about the banana...if it will not upset the delicate sensibilities of our fellow tankers.
