Next time a coworker wants to set me up on a blind date I need to ask them if they have a DU account

Black Ops Marine? What was his code name? Agent Orange?

Obama asked him to be a general?   :loser:

He also asked Chesty Puller to be a general but Chesty stuffed his ass in the cup on the seventh green after throwing it through the basketball hoop a few times.

LL's date reminds me of the old Jon Lovitz character, "The Liar."  How many hours did you a have to endure? Celtic's takes the cake for the most awkward moment.  How do you answer that?

LL, I'm thinking you've got the wrong screen name. Should be something like:

"Take No Prisoners"

Hell, I'll even design an avatar for you. Whaddya say?

Seriously, good on you. Gave him enough rope to hang himself multiple times over, then kicked the chair out from under him and left him dangling.

SAH-WEEEET!

I told it to my dad who has been retired for 20 years that I don't know which was better the look on my dad's face or the soda coming out his nose from laughing so hard about it.

Damn, that's what I didn't do when I told my son...catch him while he was guzzling a soda.  As it was, he was NOT amused.  But, I was, all over again, and so was hubby. :rotf:

He was for eight months, but was medically mustered out, an insurmountable (in their opinion) problem with rigid flat feet.  His feet don't relax even at rest and he was really messed up limping around by the time he was two days away from completing his School of Infantry course.  But, he earned his Seagull and Beachball emblem first. :rotf:

That sucks.  Kudos to him for trying.  The last time I tried to enlist, I was determined to speak to the Army recruiter.  Those Marines were a little too much for me.

I was dq'ed for medical reasons too. :(

Thanks, chris.  After wanting to be a Marine since he was about seven years old, he was absolutely crushed.  He managed to hang in almost to the end of training.  Then spent four months in physical rehab.  Ah well.  He's the only person I've ever known, and I've met lots of them, from any branch of service who actually LOVED basic and in fact, ate it up.  I'm not sure if that doesn't mean he shouldn't have been invalided out on a mental rather than physical disability status. :-)

Bless his heart. After all that time, I would think they would have kept him and had him doing something else, other than Infantry. Maybe he could go into the Navy?

My mother was a Navy nurse, and my dad was a corpsman during WWII.

I'm not sure if being in the service is what made them feel the way they did...but I was born with very flat feet, and both of them were determined that I would not be flat-footed. I wore the ugliest corrective saddle shoes until  junior high and only got to wear "pretty" shoes to church, and then immediately change into the "uglies". I even had to wear "old lady" Grasshopper sneakers and was never allowed to go barefoot.  :bawl:

I have the highest damn arches, only the very outside of my foot will leave a footprint. I have trouble buying shoes and boots, because my arch won't fit into the shoe.  :thatsright:

M has flat feet like your son does. His mom had him in corrective shoes til he was in 3rd or 4th grade. She gave up after he "lost" 2 pair. His feet won't bend, flex, nothing. He doesn't have trouble finding shoes.  :whatever:

Thanks and HI5 for the kind words.  I really have to get out of the habit of saying I'm HI5'ing, don't I?  :-) Anyway, my son was going to be in motor transportation, but all Marines complete basic, at which time they get the honor and privilege of pinning on their globe and anchor in a ceremony.  Then, they all MUST complete the School of Infantry.  Only then do they get to go train for their job in the Corps.

He said he got busted for limping by his drill instructor, and got sent to physical therapy but it only messed him up more.

I feel for YOUR poor feet too, BTW.  
One of my SIL's has high arches and she is constantly complaining that they hurt a bit.
