Just because I took the new-fangled 'horseless carriage' to Parris Island and the metric system wasn't invented yet, not to mention the frequent flintlock jams, doesn't mean I'm old. Awwww, who am I kidding.... :arrow: Beans,

Would not want to tarnish his corp with the likes of her. If he only said the right thing and told her to go back to Uglyville would have been more fitting.

I remember this commercial and my selective service number -253(graduated in 1971)from Old Fart U. Wanted to learn to fly helicopters and have the government pay for it, but an occasional irregular heartbeat stopped that cold. I blame it on Julie Schroeder. She dumped me because she felt it wouldn't work out. I think it was because my dad didn't have 400+ acres of prime northwest Ohio farm ground like the guy she ended up marrying! Military service skipped a generation with me, but my son has carried the torch for almost 8 years now. Couldn't be prouder What a great ad!

I was young. My day would come later, 86-94. All the USMC adds are the same regardless of era. Courage, Honor and Committment are timeless. What works, works. Beans and K-bar, we're all old, if we weren't we would probably be there. When I got married my best man was a Sergeant, I was a Corporal. He retires soon as a Major, just back from Ramadi.
