As an FMF corpsman who spent his entire Navy career wearing green (okay, you got me, desert tan, too) I want to take a moment to wish all Marines past and present , living or deceased, a very happy 233rd birthday of the Corps. Semper Fi, Teufelhunden. Keep on doing what y'all do best!!

Happy Birthday, Doc.

There is no better man in the world than an FMF corpsman in my less than humble opinion. Thank you for your service to our Corps , to our Marines and to our country.

Semper fi,
Dave

Soon Brother, soon. Apologies for being UA from the meetings the edlest son decided he didn't want to have to wait the extra time plus Annapolis to get a shot at flying and was quitting NAP down in Newport after all the crap it took to get him into it in the first place. Kid's back in school after a ton of arm twisting, er I mean gentle persuation and compromise, and they got my rehab going finally. Someday I might resemble an abnormal facsimile of previously abnormal self. Gonna try for the December meeting unless it falls on Army-Navy day -- got tickets this year for me and the little man to see it in Philly!!! If December isn't a happening thing then the next! Semper Fi.

Hi All. Hi all Marines both sides of the pond. Its my Corps 345th Birthday 28th, (1664) October. ''Once a Marine, always a Marine.'' Our corps have so much in common, even to the navy supplying medical support. Our medics have to attend the ' All Arms Course' to obtain the Green Beret of the Commandos before they can serve along side The Royal Marines.
Looking forward to the next birthday party!!!!!!!
