"You can call him "Jar-head", you can call him "devil-dog", you can call him a "Fire-pis#ing, butt-kicker". But you never call one of the U.S.M.C.'s finest a "soldier-boy"! Otherwise he might unscrew your head from your neck and use your neck as a latrine! Now drop and give me 50!" Will that do Marine 2111?

That about sums it up, thanks Sergeant.

LOL!

My 5yr old son was walking out of pre K with his mom this afternoon and walking in the door was a USMC recruiter. My son looked at my wife and said "mommy, that's a Marine" and she responded, "yes son and your daddy has his blues in the closet."

Some things just make your day.

I just finished making a blow gun for hunting. I got the idea from www.blowgunhunter.com. I am amazed at the accuracy and power of it. I am using xacto blades as broadheads. Any other ideas out there for broadheads? I will be huntig and hopefully eatting squirels with it. It only costs $10 to make one. I am suprised more people dont use them.

What about fishing with a blowgun? here is a good site on blowgun fishing.

http://www.geocities.com/blowgunhunter/index.html this is a better site on making the darts http://www.geocities.com/maddd_doggg/blowgun/darts.htm Just ignore the part about the jigs and Washers and such.

I know this is old but I don't care

Spartan,
Bro, I gotta disagree. After doing 8 years in the Army as a soldier of the 101st Airborne and an LRSD scout I trained with many Marines and we called them Marines, when you needed to call someone from the Army you said: Come here Soldier.
And when you called someone from the Marines you said: Come here Marine... there is a difference to the Soldiers and Marines serving past and present and its what they wish ans so it should be respected.
Unlike the reputation of the movies we got along real good without fighting, sure we ragged on each other but it was all in fun. There was a deep respect that each gave each other and that respect went with calling each other Soldier or Marine.

Let's not forget - if you wanted to call somebody in the Navy, you had to go to the chow hall. If you wanted to call somebody in the Air Force you had to wake them up first.

I'm surprised this still comes up. You want to talk survival skills? If someone's just spent the last several years of his life being trained to kill people and/or killing people at his government's behest, you call that person what that person wants to be called! If it's Marine, it's Marine---if it's soldier, it's soldier, and I don't think it's ever "boy" Duuhhh... that there's what you call your common sense survival skill.
