I know that we have a lot of Jarheads around here....So I thought you might be amused by this.
So I was on a TDY for the last two days to Quantico. And I have an observation. I'm about 5'7 or so...and I seriously felt like a munchkin. Are they are short Marines? Or small Marines? I think I saw one guy the whole time that was less than 6' and he was built like a refrigerator....a very large, muscular refrigerator. And I don't think that a single one of them smiled at me. Of course, I'm this short little Air Force dude greeting these massive mean looking Marines and probably looked like an idiot. I was just in shock! Its almost like they hid all the little guys to try to scare me or something.
Also...do you really need to build bases in the middle of forests? It was like, 6 miles through a very dark, foggy forest to get to the cantonement area. I almost expected Marines to run out of the woods with guns.
It seems to me that Marines work VERY HARD at ensuring that everyone thinks that they are the meanest toughest dudes in the world!!!
