TexasGrunt,
As much as this "overage in grade" Mike Papa enjoys teasing Uncle Sam's Misguided Children for some of the downright peculiar things that they do, the Marines got us out of more than one "sticky place" when we were "way down South".
No matter how ugly things had gotten, we MPs never doubted that the Marines would rush to bail us out.
