So, the very first Marine goes into Tun tavern, and signs up. He heads out back and cops a squat for a smoke break.
About 10 minutes later, the second recruit shows up, and asks, “What kind of chickenshit outfit do you think we signed up for?”
The first Marine looks at him with a baleful eye, and says, “Boot, let me tell you how it was in the Old Corps…”

Yep, sounds about right.
But here’s the real question: who enlisted the first Marine?
The Tunn isn’t in Philly anymore. It’s moved east to ACY

You can walk in there with your cover on, so ain’t a real Marine Corps watering hole IMHO.
God. 🙂
Happy birthday USMC.

Where’s URR? You’d think he wouldn’t be AWOL on such an auspicious day.
He’s, ah, “celebrating” right now. It’s 1530 in his time zone, so … he’s probably already past the ability to operate a computer by now!
