A sailor in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, ''Wanna hear a MARINE joke?''
The guy next to him replies, ''Well, before you tell that joke, you should know something. I'm 6' tall, 200 lbs, and I'm a MARINE. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2'' tall, weighs 225, and he's a MARINE. The fella next to him is 6'5'' tall, weighs 250, and he's also a MARINE. Now, you still wanna tell that joke?''
The sailor says, ''Nah, I don't want to have to explain it three times.''

An Army Ranger was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana and he wanted a pair of genuine alligator boots in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.
After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the Ranger shouted, "maybe I'll just go out and get my own alligator so I can get a pair of boots at a reasonable price!"
The vendor said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you will run into a couple of Marines who were in here earlier saying the same thing."
So the Ranger headed into the bayou that same day and a few hours later came upon two men standing waist deep in the water. He thought, "those must be the two Marines the guy in town was talking about." Just then, the Ranger saw a tremendously long gator swimming
rapidly underwater towards one of the Marines.
Just as the gator was about to attack, the Marine grabbed its neck with both hands and strangled it to death with very little effort. Then both Marines dragged it on shore and flipped it on its back. Laying nearby were several more of the creatures.
One of the Marines then exclaimed, "Damn, this one doesn't have any boots either!"

Rated GTrue Story! My legal birth name is Will. For years, people would argue with me about my name, and insist that it had to be William, Wilbur, Willis, etc. When it came to legal documents, they would always write in their own "thing", and I usually let my temper fly! So when I went to the MEPS in Phoenix, AZ, this Marine tried pulling this same shit on my enlistment papers, plus some other "typos" he tried to sneak past me which could have screwed up my military career badly!--no, he did not get past me! I tore up the papers in front of his face, and with my temper aflame, ordered him to retype All of the papers! He did, but was not pleased! He tried acting like a Marine D.I. to this AirForce recruit. I told him to shut his trap, as I had not signed the enlistment papers or taken the oath yet! I never saw him again!

Rated G   MARINES My friend George, an ex-Marine Aviator, wanted to show-off his new twin engine plane. I was riding along as he put it through its paces. Suddenly, we were caught in a violent thunderstorm, with lightning crashing all around us, we lost the radio and most of the instruments. As we were being tossed around in the sky, George said, "Damn!" Fearing the worst, I asked, "What's wrong now?" George replied, "I got the hiccups. Do something to scare me."

Rated PG  A man was being interviewed for a job. "Were you in the service?" ask the interviewer."Yes, I was a marine," responded the applicant. "Did you see any active duty?" He was asked."I was in Vietnam for 2 years and I have a partial disability." "May I ask what happened?" he was asked."Well, I had a grenade go off between my legs and I lost both testicles." The marine said. "You're hired. You can start Monday at 10 am."" When does everyone else start? I don't want any preferential
treatment because of my disability." The marine said. "Everyone else starts at 7 am but I might as well be honest with you. Nothing gets done between 7 and 10. We just sit around scratching our balls trying to decide what to do first."

Rated PG  Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and
children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers. GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you? The radio went silent and the interview ended All over America, people were thinking: Semper Fi, Marine."
