He will steal your last beer, but give you his last magazine of ammo. He will drop 6 F-bombs in one sentence, but write you the most endearing letters. He will be your worst enemy, and your best friend - often in the same day. He will borrow twenty dollars, and will repay you in stories for years to come. He has forgotten more names than you have ever known. ... He has hurried more than you. He has waited more than you. He can stand for hours. He will sit in a puddle of mud for hours on end, and still crack a joke. He can sit in a small room, and stare out over a thousand yards. He will be friendly to every person he meets, but will have a plan to kill them if the need arises. He will smoke 3 packs a day and still run 3 miles in under 20 minutes. He can fall asleep in the middle of a convoy through a combat zone, but is restless in his own bed. He will lace his shoes left-over-right for the rest of his life and will not tell you why. He will be the filthiest person youve ever met, and the most handsome when he cleans up. His mind will swim with stories of adventure, but he will remain still with bearing. He is the rough man that watches over you while you sleep and by doing so will have trouble himself sleeping for the rest of his life. He is a radio operator with 3rd Battalion 9th Marines, a Satellite Operator with MWCS-18, an Avionics Technician with VMA-214, a Heavy Diesel Mechanic with CLR-27, but most of all he is a rifleman... He is a United States Marine - Happy birthday Devil Dogs
