Happy 234th Birthday MARINES!

Happy birthday and Semper Fi!

Tun Tavern. Yup, we were born in a BAR! OOHRAH!

Let me trip down memory lane for a moment...

For my groundsider brethen (oohrah, chesty lives), here's a Hard@$$ groundsider cadence song:

Running through the desert with my M16

I'm a mean mother****** I'm a US Marine

M4 and Ka-Bar by my side

These are the tools that I live by

These are the tools that take men's lives

HALO HALO infantry

King of battle, folllow me

First to fight and the last to fall

We don't even count 'em all

Up in the morning, out of the rack

woken up by a mortar attack

Sergeant rushes me off to chow

We don't need it anyhow

Doing our duty for the country's needs

Kill people, break things, that's our creed

For my fellow Air wingers, I offer this cadence song:

Running through the hangar with my 5/16ths

I'm a mean mother****** I'm an Airwing Marine

Soldering iron and voltmeter by my side

Making sure the birds are "Safe for Flight"

Launching the birds before first light

Sending our pilots off to fight

FOD walk, wing walk, then make haste

To "procure" needed assets from the Air Force base

Re-allocating resources, that's our trade

They were on coffee break anyway

Birds in the break, run back to the line

Hot pit and launch again just in time

Debriefing aircrew, taking care of the men

Couple hours racktime and do it again
