Marines come in all shapes, shades, weights, sizes, and states of
sobriety, misery, and confusion. He is sly as a fox, has the nerve
of a dope addict, the stories of an old sailor, the sincerity of a
politician, and the subtly of Mt. Saint Helen. He is extremely
irresistible, totally irrational and completely indestructible.
A Marine is a Marine all his life. He is a magical creature. You
can kick him out of your house but not out of your heart. You can take him
off your mailing list but not off your mind. Marines are found everywhere...
in love...in battle... in lust... in trouble...in
debt...in bars and ... behind them. No one can write so seldom and yet think
so much of you. No one else can get so much enjoyment out of a letter or
clean clothes or a six pack.
A Marine is a genius with a deck of cards. A millionaire without a
cent and brave without a grain of sense. He is the PROTECTOR OF
AMERICA, with the latest copy of playboy in his back pocket. When
he wants something it's usually 30 days leave, music that hurts the ears, a
five dollar bill...or a woman he can count on.
Girls love them, mothers tolerate them, fathers brag about them,
the government pays them, the police watch out for them and somehow they all
work together. You can beat their bodies but not their minds.
You can tame their hearts but not their souls. He likes girls,
females, women, ladies, and the opposite sex. He dislikes small
checks, working weekends, answering letters, eating chow, waking up,
maintaining a uniform, and the day before payday.
You may as well give in. He is your long distance lover...he is
your steel eyed, warm smiling, blank minded, hyperactive, over reacting,
curious, passive, talented spontaneous, physically fit, good for nothing
bundle of worry.....
