And less responsibility...These are the objections I most often get.

Thank you for your service

Good to see your name again. How's that swamp up there? :)

The lake was frozen, then thawed, then it snowed. Then I drank a few beers and pissed in the lake. We did most of our training in a valley on the north side and it wasn't swampy up there. As we were leaving it snowed 6 inches. Now back where it's warm, but I'd gladly go back and repeat that training.

"Now back where it's warm, but I'd gladly go back and repeat that training." That's what we love about you sick bastards! :)

At one point, I was the Marine Corps' most dangerous weapon...a LCpl with a pen, a badge, and a 45 (yes, that's how long ago it was)...I did six months as an MP...what a hoot that was!

I know an old MP. His favorite saying was "don't confuse your rank with my authority".

EXACTLY!
