holy ****! I'm *that* much older than you?


Darn infants! Born 11/10/36

Hey, hey, hey!! You're exactly 30 years younger than the Marine Corps -
to the day!! ;-)

I didn't remember the age of the Marine Corps, but I knew it was the same
birthday. When I was on the USS Salem, we had a contingent of Marines as the
Admirals Guard(6th fleet flagship). I got to know some of them, and due to
my birthday, got pretty close(able to sneak extra time in the tailor shop to
press uniforms & so on when they had their hours, etc.) Pulled liberty with
a bunch of them on my 21st in Beirut, didn't have to buy a drink all night.
