White Letter

I thought you might get a kick out of this....Marines are going to be
getting kicked out like crazy as the result of this new policy.

*I did a search and it didn't turn up any results and thought that this would be the appropriate area to post this information.

Yeah, like they have the luxury of booting people right now........... Damn lucky to have people willing to even join.

I like Magnus's quote at the end of this article.

That would make a nice signature for someone...not you, of course, maybe Son of a Grunt perhaps

Personally, I think this will last through Conway's reign, then die.

Of all the services, IMHO, the Marine Corps does the best in creating a culture of staying in shape without resorting to letters like that.

Which raises a question that I have often wondered about.... Are there guys that get fat once they have become aviators?? I realize that there are limits to size but its pretty natural to pack on a few every year as you get older.

I agree. I must shake my head in disgust at the navy though. What a bunch of gooey fat slobs I see walking around. I think the navy could use a change in policy like this. For Pete's sake it's the military. air WARRIORS dot com.

Not to say that any of YOU guys are fat. I'm sure you're all ripped to shreds, but some of the guys I see walking around town are an embarrassment to the uniform.

Good job Marine Corps.

I disagree. Navy pulled the same crap in 1986. If you go by the tables listed in this letter, I wonder how many professional athletes couldn't be Marines. I've always felt that stuff like this should be performance based, not appearance based.

<<<< No...I'm fat. But then again, I'm retired.

I'm just big boned.

Ay Ay, Sir.

It's Aye, Aye, Sir.

Ay was the penultimate Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt's 18th dynasty. His birth name Ay it-hetjer reads as "Ay, Father of the God."

Aye, Aye sir means I hear the command, I understand it, and will obey it, Sir.

'Ay' sounds like something he would say;

Aye, Aye sir means I hear the command, I understand it, and will obey it, Sir.

And knowing is half the battle.
