That is an awesome attitude to keep.

That is a good point of view, but there is also a caution. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts! Frank

Well said shipmate. Saying that made me wonder, did you pull any sea duty. If I'm to believe one of my friends, the Marines call that "going on a float?"

No, I did not. There is an offical name for a Marine's 6 month sea tour. Can't think of it at the moment. Two tours in Vietnam and then Git'mo. Git'mo was cut short as I learned my rt eardrum was torn from a rocket attack on Phu Bai during the Tét Offensive of '68. Remember that? Fireworks, dancing in the streets, parties. Lots of fun (right). Didn't realize it was that bad til I went diving in the ocean and it STUNG like hell. They sent me back to the states and I got out early (less than my 4 year enlistment). Take care, squid. And thank you for your service and sacrifice to this greatest of countries! TTC
