Just noticed something... I have the most time in service of all Marines so far..

Semper Fi!!!!!
To all my Brothers in the Corps. To the young Marine at Lejeune, may you have smooth sailing and the wind behind your back. I wish you a great career no matter how long it is. Treasure your time, because you are making memories that will last you a lifetime.

And to all you who served, especially those of you that have seen "the elephant" thank you for your service. Let's not forget those of our fellow brothers in arms of all wars, that did not come back but are "still on duty" and thank them for their sacrifices this Monday. Remember to raise your glass and give those heroes a well deserved toast.

God Bless the President, the Armed Forces, and our heores and above all else, God Bless the United States of America.

Here's to the Confederacy!

Rich, when were you in Pearl?

I was on the USS Bremerton (SSN-698) in Pearl from 91-95. We played against the Leftwich in sports all the time - soccer, softball, flag football, basketball....
