I snatched this from our son's friend's blog on Myspace. It is crude in places, but Hey! I'm the mother of a Marine, so I will post it! If you disagree with the sentiments, please don't flame me . . . . Marine recon boys might have my back, and I don't want them chasing anyone around!
And I hope you will join me in saying a prayer, as we approach Flag Day. that we get them all back home safely--and SOON!
Recon Boys
FRIENDS: Will stand there and watch you do something.
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Will post 360 degree security so you dont get caught
---------------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Call your parents drunk as hell and tell them about the chick you tried to pick up
--------------------------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Hope the night out drinking goes smoothly, and hope that no one is late for the ride home.
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Know some wild stuff will happen, and set up rally points and an E & E route.
---------------------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong.
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Will be sitting next to you saying, Damn...we screwed up...but hey, that s*** was fun "
------------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Steal each others stuff so often nobody remembers who bought it in the first place.
--------------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you.
------------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that ' s what the crowd is doing.
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds ass that left you.
--------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "I'm home!"
----------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Will try and talk to the bouncer when you get tossed out of the bar.
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Will man up and go after the bouncer for touching you on the way out.
-------------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Will wish you had enough money to go out that night, and are sorry you couldn't come.
MY MARINE FRIENDS: will add up everybody's last dollar and then tell you to shut up that you're going, and get ready were leaving in 5!
------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Want the money they loaned you back next week.
MY MARINE Friends: Can't begin to remember who owes who money after taking care of each other for so long.
------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Will tell you "They'd take a bullet for you."
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Will actually take a bullet for you.
----------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS: Will ignore this
MY MARINE FRIENDS: Will repost this
If you don't think this true about a Recon Marine, just go tell him to his face, and he will gladly show you what Honor, Pride, Courage and what it feels like to lay face down in a pool of your own blood! Semper Fidelis is our Moto but TWO to the chest and ONE to the HEAD is our Creed. So IF you are one of the proud citizens out there who are thankful for your beloved United States Marine's, buy us a beer no matter if we say, "I was just doing my job over there." We will drink that beer and think about those who can't, and it will make our day.
And I hope you will join me in saying a prayer, as we approach Flag Day. that we get them all back home safely--and SOON!Recon Boys
