Default Marines Salute Army Paratroopers

The other day Frisco wanted to see Parris Island. Took them to the Island to show them some recruits. Ran into a bunch. When the DI's saw two ol' Army Paratroopers in the truck they whipped out some nice salutes.

Looks like to me they knew a class act when they saw one. Frisco has pics he will post when he gets a chance. I know they were envious of us. Most Marines are!

Semper Fi!

AIRBORNE!

Thumbs up PARRIS ISLAND

Here's a few flashbacks for some of you Marines. TOMMY'S TOURS took us on a nice quick tour of the base.

Wink ROAD GUARDS, OUT!

Didn't get the picture, but the D.I. gave us a snappy, Marine Corps salute when he called in his road guards.

Thumbs up THE BEST OF THEIR GENERATION

I know we looked this young when we were doing this, but they sure made me feel old.

I wish all of these young Devil Dogs-in-the-making nothing but good luck and good health.

Cool PET CEMETARY

This little cemetary is where all of the Bulldog mascots of Parris Island are buried, dating back to the mid-'60s.
