From a Pup Tent in the Mud Behind the Barracks

Shortly following the previous email was the Marine reply, predictably less humorous and considerably more moto. Since there were over sixty of these and some of them were a lot more like "facts" than self-depreciation, I've cut out all but a few of the best, ones that were either funny or just SO TRUE.

You might be a Marine if:

1. You wear your dogtags to the beach.
2. All your underwear has your laundry number on it.
3. You've ever worn out an ironing board.
4. You've financed a tattoo.
5. You call your friends "Devil Dog."
6. You've ever "locked" anybody on.
7. You have a dog named "Chesty."
8. You press your camies an hour after you get them from the cleaners.
9. You think Motrin cures things.
10. More than half of your wardrobe was purchased at a PX.
11. You've ever had razor burn on your head.
12. You've ever used the term 'very well' in normal conversation.
13. You've ever used the term "Oohrah" in any context other than sarcasm.
