Ogre's Politics & Views: Marine Joke

Friday, Nov 10, 2006

I think this one of my favorite Marine Corps jokes that those who were Marines will certainly get, but others might not:

Back in 1775, in Tun's Tavern, recruiting started for the new Marine Corps. The very first Marine enlistee came in, signed the papers and took an oath. He was then told to go outside and wait for the other enlistee's to go through the process. They would assemble later on the front yard.

After a few minutes the second enlistee came out and had a seat on the steps, beside the first. The first man looked at the second and began, "Son, let me tell you about the Old Corps."

Lord, I first heard that from a Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps (SgtMaj Crawford) at a ball. Absolutely one of the most memorable, hilarious ball speeches ever. Thanks for reminding me of it.

OO-RAH, Brother! Happy Birthday and Semper Fi.

Semper Fi, indeed.
