Once A Marine Always A Marine

Posted July 17th, 2009 at 5:29 pm in Listen Up Marines!

We were talking earlier about One Lucky Jar-Head, the guy up in Canada who won the $200. million Powerball by matching all the numbers with a quick pick. Unfortunately, someday we will all be former -Marines but until that day comes I plan on leading the charge at coining a new word – something that means the same as former because I won't even consider EX as an option - only the pukes that couldn't hack it will have to carry that burden.

Marines, even former ones are good at coming up with new words, (adapt and improvise) and over the years we have created a language that is unique to us. In this Marine's opinion the only reason the word former has been accepted is due to no one coming up with a better opplan. Would you refer to Chesty Puller, THE GREATEST MARINE WHO EVER LIVED, as just a former- Marine? If you do, Get down and give me a hundred!
