Birthday Chauvinism
Why do you join the Army?
Why do you join the Navy?
Why do you join the Marines?
Things haven't changed a lot since World War I...
OK, it is a little over the top, but it's our birthday...
Trivia aside: (not trivia for Marines, though)
What is wrong with this phrase proposed by my campaign manager a couple months ago?
Happy Birthday, Marines!

Choices:
1. Once a marine, always a marine. So you can't be "ex" Marine Corp JAG?
2. The A in JAG stands for Army?
The two cringers:
1. There is only one ex-Marine - Lee Harvey Oswald. Call those of us not on active duty former Marines.
2. The Marines are not a Corp-oration We're a Corps - a body of Marines
The quibble:
3. JAG stands for Judge Advocate General - there's only one of them, but "JAG" sounds better than "JA" and is cleaner then "JAFL."

I'm an Army brat.
