Wow.
I know it’s a DOD project, but all those orgs… Awesome.
Hey, your troops like you, too. And those little ribbon magnets on your car, even though half the people with them are military, former, or family.

I, Marine
Top 10 questions I get asked, along with my responses:
Q10: So, what do you do?
A: I’m a Marine in the reserves.
Q09: No shit?
A: Yup.
Q08: Been deployed yet?
A: No. [Followed by whatever the last future deployment date I heard was.]
Q07: Are you nervous?
A: No, I’ve had a hell of a lot of training.
Q06: Have you heard about [recent events in Iraq]?
A: Yes.
Q05: So, what’s it like?
A: Not bad, once you hit the fleet. I especially like the boots and free drinks.
Q04: Is it true that [stupid question here]?
A: No. We do not actually piss acid.
Q03: What do you think of George W. Bush?
A: He’s my president and my commander-in-chief. If he gives me a lawful order, it is my duty as a United States Marine to carry it out to the very best of my ability. That said: long story short, I didn’t vote for him.
Q02: Why do a lot of Marines drive like that?
A: Because they’ve been deployed for a while, or haven’t been off-base long enough.
Q01: What’ll you have? I’m buying!
A: Double Jack, straight up. And, thank you.
