Silk Chutes and Hard Fighting : U.S . Marine Corps Parachute Units
in World War II
International Space Station
Look at what happened from 1998 until 2008. In just ten years it has grown and grown.
Watch the pieces come together as they are sent up from Earth. This is the International Space Station (ISS) Assembly diagram, piece by piece.
I had no idea the Space Station had grown to this size.
A Marine
Ask a Marine what's so special about the Marines and the answer would be “esprit de corps,” an unhelpful French phrase that means exactly what it looks like – the spirit of the Corps. But what is that spirit? And where does it come from?
JTAC and Marines (Video)
This video was filmed by some Air Force Joint Tactical Air Controllers (JTAC) in Tal Afar, west of Mosul in Iraq .
A marine unit got pinned down in the street.
They set their video camera on the bumper of their armored HUM-V, which they were using for cover.
Keep an eye on the opposing van parked just down the street.
On the audio you can hear them shooting back and forth.

Realistic training at 29 Palms
Click on the link belowfor a video on a realistic training experience. A step up from simulations.
I have heard talk about Twentynine Palms and the realistic training conducted there, but this is the first video that I have ever seen showing what the guys actually go through. Most Marines and Soldiers go to Twentynine Palms before going to Iraq or Afghanistan. Now you can see why we have the best trained Marines and Soldiers in the world.
NO Sex since 1955

NO SEX Since 1955 There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation. “Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?” “Negative, ma'am. Just serious by nature.” The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, “It looks like you have seen a lot of action.” “Yes, ma'am, a lot of action.” The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, “You know, you should lighten up. Relax and enjoy yourself.” The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner. Finally the young lady said, “You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?” “1955, ma'am.” “Well, there you are. No wonder you're so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no sex since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to “relax” him several times. Afterwords, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, “Wow, you sure didn't forget much since 1955.” The Sergeant Major said, after glancing at his watch, “I hope not; it's only 2130 now.” (Gotta love military time) |
