My kids mom sent this and I thought you folks might enjoy so I'm shareing:
For all our Marine friends
A Taliban Army Platoon was on patrol when the
commander noticed a lone Marine standing on
a hilltop in their area. The commander told two of
his soldiers to go take out the Marine, so they
dropped their packs and promptly ran as fast as
they could toward him. Just before they got to the top,
the Marine ran over the other side of the hill. The two
soldiers followed. For the next few minutes there were
bloody screams and dust flying in the air. Then as
quick as it had started...it stopped and the Marine
came back up on the hilltop. He brushed off his
cammies..straightened his cap...crossed
his arms...and stood there looking at the Taliban soldiers.
The infuriated commander called for a squad to go get
the Marine. They promptly ran as fast as they could
toward, him....just before they got to the top...the
Marine ran over the other side of the hill.The squad
followed...and for the next few minutes there were
bloody screams and dust flying in the air.
Then as quick as it had started...it stopped and the
Marine came back up on the hilltop....brushed off his
cammies...straightened his cap...crossed his arms
and again stood there looking at the Taliban soldiers.
The commander was 'really' hot now. He ordered the
rest of his company to attack the Marine. Determined
that Taliban soldiers were far superior to one 'lone'
Marine...they had blood in their eyes as they ran up
the hill. Just before they got to the top...the Marine
again ran over the other side of the hill. The blood
thirsty soldiers followed. For many minutes there
were horrific screams and dust flying in the air.
It continued and continued for quite a while.
Finally...one 'lone' Taliban soldier came crawling
back to the commander...all bloody and beat about
the head and shoulders. His uniform was torn...
cuts were all over his body. The commander
demanded a report. The lone soldier...trying to
catch his breath... replied in a forced and
trembling voice: "Sir,...run,...it's a trick.
There are TWO of them!!"

OATH OF ENLISTMENT
All persons, upon entering the Military Service and upon reenlistment
are required to take the Oath of Enlistment. At one time the Oath of Enlistment covered services. Due to changes in both society and the differing Military Branches, the Oath has undergone marked change and has been specifically tailored to each branch of the Military and their specific function.
Here are the latest versions of the Oath of
Enlistment as recently released by the Joint Chief's of Staff:
US AIR FORCE OATH OF ENLISTMENT
I, (State your name), swear to sign away 4 years of my life to the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE because I know I couldn't hack it in the Army, because the Marines scare the Bejeeze's out of me, and I am afraid of water over waist deep. I swear to sit behind a desk. I also swear not to do any form of
real exercise, but promise to defend our bike-riding test as a valid form of exercise. I promise to walk around calling everyone by their first name because I find it amusing to annoy the other services. I
will have a better quality of life than those around me and will, at all
times, be sure to make them aware of that fact. After completion of "Basic Training" I will be a lean, mean, donut-eating, lazy-boy
sitting, civilian-wearing-blue-clothes, Chair-borne Ranger. I will believe I am superior to all others and will make an effort to clean the knife before
stabbing the next person in the back. I will annoy those around me, and will go home early every day. So Help Me God!

US ARMY OATH OF ENLISTMENT
I, Rambo, swear to sign away 4 years of my mediocre life to the UNITED STATES ARMY because I couldn't score high enough on the ASVAB to get into the Air Force, I'm not anywhere tough enough for the Marines, and the Navy won't take me because I can't swim. I will wear camouflage every day
and tuck my trousers into my boots because I can't figure out how to use blousing straps. I promise to wear my uniform 24 hours a day even when I have a date. I will continue to tell myself that I am a fierce killing
machine because my Drill Sergeant told me I am, despite the fact that the only action I will see is a Court-martial for sexual harassment. I acknowledge the fact that I will make E-8 in my first year of service,
and vow to maintain that it is because I scored perfect on my PT test.
After completion of my Sexual.....er....I mean "Basic Training," I will attend a different Army school every other month and return knowing less than I did when I left. On my first trip home after Boot Camp I will
walk around like I am cool and propose to my 9th grade sweetheart. I will make my wife stay home because if I let her out she might leave me for a better-looking Air Force guy. Should she leave me twelve times I will continue to take her back. While at work, I will maintain a look of knowledge while getting absolutely nothing accomplished. I will arrive to work every day at 1000 hrs because of morning PT and leave everyday at 1300 to report back to "COMPANY." I understand that I will undergo no training whatsoever that will help me get a job upon
separation, and will end up working construction with my friends from
high school. I will brag to everyone about the Army giving me $30,000 for college, but will be unable to use it because I can't pass a placement exam. So Help Me God!

US NAVY OATH OF ENLISTMENT
I, Top Gun, in lieu of going to prison, swear to sign away 4 years of my life to the UNITED STATES NAVY, because I want to hang out with Marines without actually having to BE one of them, because I thought the Air
Force was too "corporate," because I didn't want to actually live in dirt like the Army, (yukee Poo!) and because I thought, "Hey, I like to swim...why not?" I promise to wear clothes that went out of style in 1976 and to have my name stenciled on the butt of every pair of pants I own. I understand that I will be mistaken for the Good Humor Man during summer and for Nazi Waffen SS during the winter. I will strive to use a different language than the rest of the English speaking world, using
words like "deck, bulkhead, cover, gee dunk, scuttlebutt, scupper and head," when I really mean "floor, wall, hat, candy, water fountain, hole in wall and toilet." I will take great pride in the fact that all Navy
acronyms, rank, and insignia, and everything else for that matter, are completely different from the other services and make absolutely no sense whatsoever. I will "muster", whatever that is, at 0700 every morning unless I am buddy-buddy with the Chief, in which case I will show up
around 0930. I vow to hone my coffee cup handling skills to the point that I can stand up in a kayak being tossed around in a typhoon, and still not spill a drop. I consent to being promoted and subsequently
busted at least twice per fiscal year. I realize that, once selected for Chief, I am required to submit myself to the sick, and quite possibly illegal, whims of my newfound "colleagues." So Help Me Neptune!

Second joke... when you wanna MOUTH someone to sleep, call ANYONE else. When you have a down in the feces dirty damned job that EVERYBODY else would pass on, call in the Marines. Has not to do with level of INTELLECT, but level of COMMITMENT.
HOWEVER... from my fun green Brother, I KNOW that was given in respect... <IMG alt="image" SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0">

NEWS UPDATE???????
Terrorists Multiplying in the Deep South
The governors of Alabama, Georgia & Mississippi would
like to announce that they have made a disturbing
discovery in their states.
Apparently, a small number of terrorists have become
romantically involved with the locals.
The result was not pretty, and we now have the sad
task of reporting a new sector of the human reported,
and we are hard at work trying to isolate and seal
them off.
To date, we have identified the following:
Mohammed Billy Bob Abba Bubba
Mohammed Jethro Bin Thinkin Bout It
Mohammed Forrest Gumpa Bubba
Mohammed Rubba Dub Dubba Bubba
Bobbie Joe Bubba Charlene Atat
Betty Jean Hasbeena Badgurl
Cleavie Daba Hava Tampa
Linda Sue Bin There Dunthat
Not surprisingly, they all seem to have sprung from
one couple: Mohammed Whoozyadaddy and Yomamma
Bin Lovin.
We'll keep you posted.

I don't often post in 'Politics' but read it quite a bit with a watchful eye..
It's good to see you have a sense of humour much like our own, even if I don't agree with everything you say <IMG alt="image" SRC="smile.gif" border="0">
This certainly brings a rainbow of light between all the heated debates.. Keep posting...
services, Congress has approved the following changes to
basic principles of recruit training:
HAIRCUTS Marines: Heads will be shaved. Army: Stylish flat-top's for all
recruits. Navy: No haircut standard. Air Force:
Complete makeovers as seen on the Jenny Jones show.
TRAINING HOURS Marines: Reveille at 0500, train until 2000. Army:
Reveille at 0600, train until 1900. Navy: Get out of bed
at 0900, train until 1100, lunch until 1300, train until 1600. Air
Force: Awaken at 1000, breakfast in bed, train from 1100 to
1200, lunch at 1200, train from 1300 to 1400, nap at 1400, awaken from
nap at 1500, training ceases at 1500.
MEALS Marines: Meals, Ready-to-Eat 3 times a day. Army: One hot meal, 2
MRE's. Navy: 3 hot meals. Air Force: Catered meals
prepared by the Galloping Gourmet, Julia Child, Wolfgang Puck and Emeril
Lagasse. All you can eat.
LEAVE and LIBERTY..... Marines: None. Army: 4 hours a week. Navy: 2 days
a week. Air Force: For every four hours of training,
recruits will receive eight hours of leave and liberty.
PROTOCOL..... Marines: Will address all officers as "Sir," and refer to
the rank of all enlisted members when speaking to them
(i.e., Sgt. Smith). Army: Will address all officers as "Sir," unless
they are friends, and will call all enlisted personnel "Sarge."
Navy: Will address all officers as "Skipper," and all enlisted personnel
as "Chief." Air Force: All Air Force personnel shall be on a
first name basis with each other.
DECORATIONS and AWARDS..... Marines: Medals and badges are awarded for
acts of gallantry and bravery only. Army: Medals
and badges are awarded for every bullet fired, hand grenade thrown,
fitness test passed and bed made. Navy: Will have ships'
engineers make medals for them as desired. Air Force: Will be issued all
medals and badges, as they will most likely be awarded
them at some point early in their careers anyway.
CAMOUFLAGE UNIFORMS..... Marines: Work uniform, to be worn only during
training and in field situations. Army: Will wear it
anytime, anywhere. Navy: Will not wear camouflage uniforms, they do not
camouflage you on a ship. (Ship Captains will make every
effort to attempt to explain this to sailors.) Air Force: Will defeat
the purpose of camouflage uniforms by putting blue and silver
chevrons and colorful squadron patches all over them.
CAREER FIELDS..... Marines: All Marines shall be considered riflemen
first and foremost. Army: It doesn't matter, all career
fields promote to E-8 in first enlistment anyway. Navy: Nobody knows.
The Navy is still trying figure out what sailors in the ABH,
SMC, BNC and BSN rates do anyway. Air Force: Every recruit will be
trained in a manner that will allow them to leave the service
early to go on to higher paying civilian jobs.
