“first in my experience” – me too, I think. A nice touch, especially from the encumbered service.

Thanks, Sgt B!

And you too, ernie – been around the block a bit, haven’t you? Seabee, is it? Come to the sea! Come sail with me!

Lex, (Sir!)

As one who served as a young lance corporal under Mike Hagee when he was but a light colonel, and who now proudly wears a beautiful gold anchor on his collar, that message from the Commandant is especially meaningful to me. Goose bumples, even. No tears, cause Chiefs don’t do that, right? Anyhoo, he’s right. And our birthday is occasion for us dirt sailors to say “hey, you fleet guys and airdale types are alright by us. Get us where we need to be and cover our six just like you do the Marines.” Happy Birthday to us all!

Waiting for the next nail-biting installment, by the way…

Ernie, proud to be a Seabee Chief/Marine LCPL

Ah, the value of NMCI. I read it on a blog before it comes over the DMS!

This message is a first in my experience.
